Are the bases on the interior or the exterior of the double helix? Are they randomly arranged or neatly stacked?

Chemistry

Each helix corresponds to a nucleotide chain, and the two chains are joined throughout their length by adenine-thymine or guanine-cytosine pairs. These base pairs are STACKED one above the other with their planes perpendicular to the axis of the two spirals. This places the hydrophobic base pairs inside the structure and allows the hydrophilic sugar and phosphate groups to contact water on the exterior. The whole helix will just fit inside a cylinder 2000 pm in diameter.

the double helix is hydrogen bonded through the bases only so the bases are inside the helix only

as adenine combines with thymine and guanine with cytosine

phosphate are in the exterior of it

sugar groups constitute the double helix.

Why is sodium hydrogen carbonate an effective antacid but sodium hydroxide is not?
professor190 [17]
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is a weak base, therefore it does not harm the stomach and reduces the stomach acid. Sodium hydroxide is too caustic and not easily buffered and is almost a very strong base. It has a low solubility and dissociation constant, and causes chemical burns in the mouth & throat

The concentration of glucose, C6H12O6, in normal spinal fluid is 75 mg/100g. What is the molality of the solution
galben [10]

Answer:

4.16x10⁻³m

Explanation:

Molality is defined as the ratio between moles of a solute, in this case glucose, and kg of solvent.

As there are 100g of solvent, <em>the kg are 0.1. </em>Thus, we only need to calculate from the mass of glucose its moles to solve the molality of the solution.

<em>Moles glucose:</em>

There are 75mg = 0.075g of glucose. To conver mass to moles it is necessary molar mass.

Molar mass glucose:

6C = 12.01g/mol*6 = 72.06g/mol

12H = 12*1.008g/mol = 12.10g/mol

6O = 6*16g/mol = 96g/mol

72.06 + 12.10 + 96 = 180.16g/mol

Moles of 0.075g of glucose:

0.075g * (1 mol / 180.16g) =

4.16x10⁻⁴ moles of glucose

<em>Molality of the solution:</em>

4.16x10⁻⁴ moles of glucose / 0.1kg of solvent =

<h3>4.16x10⁻³m</h3>

timama [110]

Answer:

The advantage of the compound light microscope over the dissecting microscope is the magnification power of the telescope. Compound light microscope magnifies from 40x up to 1,000x while dissecting microscope magnifies up to 40 x only. In this regard, more magnification power is advantageous to view smaller objects.
