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

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.

"Calculate the number of millimoles in 500 mg of each of the following amino acids: alanine (MW = 89), leucine (131), tryptophan
Cloud [144]

Answer:

- Alanine =  5.61 mmoles

- Leucine = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 3.40 mmoles

Explanation:

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

Milimoles = Mol . 1000

500 mg / 1000 = 0.5 g

- Alanine = 0.5 g / 89 g/m → 5.61x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 5.61mmoles

- Leucine = 0.5 g / 131 g/m → 3.81 x10⁻³ moles  . 1000 = 3.81 mmoles

- Tryptophan = 0.5 g / 204 g/m →  2.45x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 2.45 mmoles

- Cysteine = 0.5 g / 121 g/m → 4.13x10⁻³ moles . 1000 = 4.13 mmoles

- Glutamic acid = 0.5 g 147 g/m → 3.40x10⁻³ moles . 1000 =  3.4 mmoles
