Well, to determine the type of sugar that is present and serves to play an important role in the overall structure and function of this particular nucleic acid is by the fact that the strand is single stranded, and not double stranded as in DNA. The only other commonly known Nucleic acid that is single stranded is RNA. Another clue or hint that points us in the direction to state that this a polynucleotide stranded molecule of RNA, is by the presence of the nitrogenous base, Uracil. DNA in place has thymine, uracil is only found on RNA, and is complementary to thymine, if used in transcription. Basically all of this information simply points to RNA, and the sugar contained in RNA would be ribose.

Ans.

DNA is a complex biomolecule, made up of multiple units of nucleotides. Each nucleotide represents a combination of a nitrogen base (either cytosine, thymine, guanine, or adenine), a 5-carbon, pentose sugar, and a phosphate molecule.

The sugar present in DNA is deoxyribose sugar, which shows presence of a hydrogen atom, instead of an hydroxyl group (-OH group).

Thus, the correct answer is option). deoxyribose.

Which of the graphics best represents an animal cell <br><br>A <br><br>B
Schach [20]

A.

Animal cells are very close to plant cells, but they have one key difference that separates them; the cell wall.

A cell wall is a thicker layer on the outside of the cell membrane. These are unique, and are <u>only found in plant cells.</u> Animal cells just have the cell membrane as their outer part. This enables them to change shape due to the membrane being very flexible.

Plant cells do not change, and only conform to their cell wall's shape. This enables them to grow up (literally) to help gather sunlight and enable photosynthesis.
