<u>Complete Question:</u>

Scientists hypothesize that the microscopic organisms inside a termite's gut are responsible for breaking down the wood that the termite eats. To support this hypothesis, research results should show that the microscopic organisms can produce which of the following?

A. ATP

B. polysaccharides

C. enzymes specific to cellulose

D. nucleic acids that are double-stranded

<u>Correct Option:</u>

To support this hypothesis, research results should show that the microscopic organisms can produce enzymes specific to cellulose.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This hypothesis needs the microscopic organisms which are present in the termite's gut, due to them only breakdown of wood take place that termite's eat. But that microscopic organism must be potential enough to generate kind of enzymes which are specifically responsible for cellulose digestion.

Because wood have a complex carbohydrate's class known as polysaccharide, comprising of a linear chain of many 100 to several 1000 D-glucose units connected together by β linkage. Cellulose is an essential functional part of green plant's key cell wall. Cellulases are an enzyme that splits the cellulose molecule free into monosaccharides, i.e. basic sugars like β-glucose or smaller polysaccharides and oligosaccharides.

(03.05 hc) the base pairs in a dna strand are held together with hydrogen bonds. if the two nitrogenous bases in each pair were
asambeis [7]

The cell would have to take in and use more energy in order to break the covalent bonds.

The correct option is B

Hydrogen bonds :

are the chemical mechanism that governs the complementarity of the bases of DNA. This correspondence is unique thanks to the geometry of the hydrogen donor atoms and the acceptors that form the bases.

The (hydrophobic) bases are stacked inside the double helix of DNA; their plane is perpendicular to the axis of the double helix. The outside (phosphate and sugar) is hydrophilic.

The hydrogen bonds between the bases of one strand and the bases of the other strand keep the 2 strands united.

One purine on one strand necessarily binds to a pyrimidine on the other strand. As a corollary, the number of purine residues is equal to the number of pyrimidine residues.

* A binds to T (by 2 hydrogen bonds).

* G binds to C (via 3 hydrogen bonds: more stable bond: 5.5 kcal vs 3.5 kcal).

What part of the DNA strand do hydrogen bonds hold together?

hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.

Why don't all thermodynamically favored reactions occur rapidly?
serg [7]

solution:

Thermodynamically favorable reaction is the products, because the reaction occurs spontaneously, without the need for energy to be added.

Because a reaction is thermodynamically favoured does not mean that it will be a fast reaction. So 'yes' they always proceed but possibly infinitesimally slowly. Temperature is the most common way of quickening a reaction. Of course a catalyst also does so but this generally by changing the way the reaction occurs, i.e. the mechanism is different using a catalyst but the product is the same. Enzymes are natures catalysts, in synthetic chemistry (and in you car exhaust) metal based compounds are often used.

All reactions have an activation energy EaEa between reactants and products and a small increase in the size of this can slow a reaction exponentially. Experimentally, the rate constant is generally found be of the form k=k0exp(−Ea/RT)k=k0exp(−Ea/RT), which is the Arrhenius equation, with R the gas constant and T the temperature in Kelvin .

The R groups of amino acids located on the surface of protein molecules in the interior of biological membranes are ...?
Oxana [17]
<span>I believe the answer is A. hydrophobic. Inside the biological membranes are lipids (hydrophobic) molecules. As you may know the membranes are lipid bilayers. In order to place proteins, which are polymers of amino acids, you would need to create an like-to-like environment. The R groups of amino acids will interact with this hydrophobic lipid bilayer environment and will need to display the same characteristics to keep the plasma membrane intact and not cause unwanted disruption. Therefore, R groups of amino acids in biological membranes should be hydrophobic. </span>
