Answer:

Nucleic Acids:

- Uracil

- Adenine

- Guanine

- Cytosine

Explanation:

Since we only have one strand shown, I'm going to assume it is RNA. Both DNA and RNA have nucleic acids, but RNA has 1 different nucleic acid; it replaces Thymine with Uracil. So the 4 nucleic acids are uracil, adenine, guanine, and cytosine.

If the picture shown is a cross-section of DNA, then our 4 nucleic acids are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

Create a table in which you compare the components and functions of the following.
Sauron [17]

Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.

  • Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.

Basic elements:

  1. Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
  2. Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
  3. Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
  4. Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)

Monomer constituents:

  1. Nucleic acids: nucleotides
  2. Proteins: amino acids
  3. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
  4. Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol

Functions:

  1. Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
  2. Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
  3. Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
  4. Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes

Examples:

  1. Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
  2. Proteins: lactase; collagen
  3. Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
  4. Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol

1. <br> A) Name the 4 MAJOR ORGANIC COMPOUNDS.<br><br> B) DESCRIBE how they DIFFER in their uses.
nlexa [21]

The four major organic compunds are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.


Lipids are used to store energy, insulate insulate, and they help build cell membranes. Examples of lipids are fats, oils, and waxes.


Carbohydrates are used to give us quick energy and they help build cell walls. Examples of carbohydrates include bread, pasta, cereal, and rice.


The role of proteins is to build our bodies, help our immune system, and help cells communicate. Such examples include meat, beans, eggs, fish, nuts, soy, and dairy.


Finally, Nucleic acids are used to store gentetic info. Anything plant or animal based is considered a nucleic acid.

Explain why the ratio of motor neurons to muscle fibers is greater in muscles that control eye movement than in postural muscles
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The muscles of the eye cover a greater number and in turn carry out greater fine motor skills.

Explanation:

Alpha motor neurons are neurons that invent the skeletal muscle, that is, striated, so that through the motor plate that is the unit that unites them, an action potential is transmitted that contracts the sarcomeros of the elastic fibers and the z lines. come closer, each eye movement is much more precise than the locomotion of the lower limb, which carries greater innervation in each muscle bundle due to the specificity of the movement, this is how more alpha motor neurons are required to mobilize the eye than a leg.
