The question is incomplete as the group of choices are not provided however the correct group of choices are given as follows:

He is studying oxygen, which can also be found in proteins.

He is studying oxygen, which is the most abundant element in the atmosphere.

He is studying nitrogen, which can also be found in proteins.

He is studying nitrogen, which is the most abundant element in the atmosphere.

Answer:

The correct answer is - He is studying oxygen, which can also be found in proteins.

Explanation:

Human body is comprises of various type of molecules and elements such as fats, protein, carbohydrates and many other elements. Carbohydrates and fatty acids are are made up of 3 major elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Oxygen is an essential element with 65% of all elements found in human body it shows great affinity with proteins. Oxygen binds with hemoglobin then transferred to the through out the body.  The oxygen is also one of the elements found in proteins with other elements like nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon.

Thus, the correct answer is - He is studying oxygen, which can also be found in proteins.

Which is the following is correct for bonding between the purines and pyrimidines?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

3,

Explanation:

Both purines and Pyrimidines are organic Nitrogen  bases in DNA and RNA molecules. Adenine and Guanine are purines because they have double ring structure.Pyrimidine  are three- cytosine,thymine and Uracil.The uracil is lacking in DNA,but present in RNA. furthermore thymine is only present ni DNA but not in RNA. However, cytocine is present  in DNA and RNA. They are made up of single bonds.and are smaller than the Purines.

For perfect structure of DNA molecule,there must be complementary paring of Purines with corresponding pyrimidine. This paring ensures that for each purine (adenine) it must pair with corresponding(Thymine).While for each Guanine it must fit with corresponding Cytosine.(pyrimidine).

Two hydrogen bonds Hold A-T,while three hydrogen bonds hold G-T.

There above complementary paring is based on Chargaff’s Rule of compliment paring. Which states that the ratio of A-T and C-G will always constant in DNA molecule.That is the rates of these purines to pyrimidines will always be a fixed ratio.Thus each strand of DNA molecule will always complement one another for each A-T and C-G.

Would you expect a cactus to have more or less stomata than a tropical plant? why?
Feliz [49]
Less stomata because stomata is the pathway through which water transpires. A cactus' habitat is much drier than normal tropical plants, therefore it would require less transpiration to survive. In order to lessen transpiration, they have less stomata.

Cell membranes are made up of a phospholipid bilayer. Which part of the phospholipid bilayer interacts with water? Which part do
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The polar head groups of phospholipids interact with water while the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails are packed away from the water.

Explanation:

A phospholipid contains glycerol to which hydrocarbon tails are bonded. These hydrocarbon tails make the hydrophobic region of the phospholipids and are packed away from the water to make the inner core of the membranes. Glycerol of a phospholipid also has a phosphate group attached to its third carbon. The phosphate and glycerol moiety together make the hydrophilic head part of the phospholipid and interact with the surrounding water.

finlep [7]

The structural organization of autonomic nervous system or ANS is different from somatic nervous system or SNS.

In the ANS,  the motor neurons of the central nervous system do not directly control visceral effectors. They synapse with visceral motor neurons  or  preganglionic neurons in ganglia, and the ganglionic neurons control the visceral effectors.

Patellar responses often strengthen with diversion how do you explain this observation
horrorfan [7]
This observation may indicate that the patella is responding when its reflexes are tested and that those responses are being strengthened by other parts of the spinal cord that are not usual, indicating diversion. The patellar reflex indicates that there is activity in the L<span>2, L3, and L4 segments of the </span><span>spinal cord.</span>
