e pair with three hydrogen bonds. c. The phosphodiester bonds that link adjacent nucleotides join the 3’hydroxyl of one nucleotide to the 5’ of the next. d. The two strands run in an antiparallel fashion. e. All monosaccharide units lack an –OH at C-2’

Answer:

the following are true

b. G and C nucleotides base pair with three hydrogen bonds.

c. The phosphodiester bonds that link adjacent nucleotides join the 3’hydroxyl of one nucleotide to the 5’ of the next.

d. The two strands run in an antiparallel fashion.

Explanation:

b. G and C nucleotides base pair with three hydrogen bonds.

G and C nucloetides join by 3 hydrogen bonfs while A and T have 2 hydrogen bonds between them.

c. The phosphodiester bonds that link adjacent nucleotides join the 3’hydroxyl of one nucleotide to the 5’ of the next.

phosphodiester bond is the linkage between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA.

d. The two strands run in an antiparallel fashion.

two strands are known be antiparallel  if they run parallel  to each other but opposite in direction. same in the case of DNA in which two strands which are complementary to each other  run parallel but opposite in direction i.e one from 5 to  3 and the other from 3 to 5 prime.

Positive selection tests to see if the ______ of a T-lymphocyte can recognize and bind to an MHC molecule.
DENIUS [597]

Positive selection tests to see if the TCR of a T-lymphocyte can recognize and bind to an MHC molecule.

<h3>What is a T-lymphocyte?</h3>

A T-lymphocyte is a special type of immune cell that is generated inside the bone marrow.

The T-cell receptor (abbreviated as TCR) is a protein located on these immune T lymphocytes.

In conclusion, Positive selection identifies if the TCR of a T-lymphocyte can recognize and bind to an MHC molecule.

Firewood is made up of cellulose, which is a polymer of glucose molecules. When burning, heat and light are given off, indicatin
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Exergonic reaction

Explanation:

  • A chemical reaction which is associated with a release of energy and thus, is associated with a negative free energy change is said to be an exergonic reaction.
  • An exergonic reaction owing to the negative free energy change is a spontaneous reaction.
  • The energy that is released in the exergonic reaction is usually observed  in the form of heat and light.
  • The energy is released due to the breaking of the chemical bonds.
  • Therefore, on burning of the firewood the bonds between the glucose molecules break up which leads to the release of energy in the form of heat and light and this is thus, an example of an exergonic reaction.

Much of the energy that the brain expends is used for
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

signaling processes

Explanation:

Neurons within the brain are constantly processing and transmitting information. Electrical impulses that pass from one neuron to another consume a lot of energy. So, sending, receiving and processing the signals are the main events of brain energy expenditure. Neurons also use the energy for the maintenance of themselves and the surrounding glial cells.

Glucose is the main energy source in the brain.

In the early classification system, all bacteria were classified in one kingdom. Bacteria was later broken up into two separate
ser-zykov [4K]

The reason for this change is "Technological advances led to the discovery of single-celled organisms and increased our understanding of relationships between organisms"

<h3>Why bacteria and archaea should be classified into different kingdoms?</h3>

Archea and bacteria are both prokaryotic organisms ( organisms without defined organelles and nucleus) that share common features such as a similar morphology and similar ways to obtain food/energy. However,  these organisms have important differences such as RNA type, they have a slightly different morphology and they live in different habitats.

<h3>Why did this change in classification occurred?</h3>

This change occurred due to technological advances. Indeed, the classification of organisms into 4 kingdoms occurred by the beginning of the 20th century when unicellular prokaryotic organisms had not been completely studied, and therefore it has not been determined this group included two sub-groups.
