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.

A ground state hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light having a wavelength of 92.05 nm. It then gives off a photon having a wave
vodka [1.7K]
Absorbed photon energy
Ea = hc/λ.. (Planck's equation)
Ea = hc / 92.05^-9m 

<span>Energy emitted
Ee = hc/ 1736^-9m </span>

Energy retained ..
∆E = Ea - Ee = hc(1/92.05<span>^-9 - 1/1736^-9) </span>
<span>∆E = (6.625^-34)(3.0^8) (1.028^7)
∆E = 2.04^-18 J </span>

<span>Converting J to eV (1.60^-19 J/eV)
 ∆E = 2.04^-18 / 1.60^-19
∆E = 12.70 eV </span>

<span>Ground state (n=1) energy for Hydrogen = - 13.60eV </span>

<span>New energy state = (-13.60 + 12.70)eV = -0.85 eV </span>

<span>Energy states for Hydrogen
En = - (13.60 / n²) </span>

n² = -13.60 / -0.85 = 16
n = 4

R spectroscopy can be used to identify which _____________________ are present in a compound.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

IR spectroscopy can be used to identify chemical structures are present in compounds.

Explanation:

Infrared spectroscopy is a technique in organic chemistry that can be use use to identify chemical structures present in compounds because it is base on the ability of different functional groups to adsorb infrared light.

This work by shinning the infrared lights into the organic compounds to be identified, some of the frequencies of the infrared lights are adsorbed by the compounds and its identify groups of atoms and molecules in the compound.

Jonathan claims that since only humans can read, it must be an inherited trait, passed from human parents to their children. Is
Crank
Jonathan is not correct because it has to be a trait that is learned.

So in that case Jonathan has to say that this is not an inherited trait it is learned by most people.
