DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). <span>DNA bases pair up with each other, A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder, with the base pairs forming the ladder’s rungs and the sugar and phosphate molecules forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder.</span>
<u>Answer</u>:
There are a number of lipids that are found in foods and contribute to various functions in the body. Triglycerides are the most common lipid found in food and in the body; they consist of a <u><em>Glycerol</em></u><u> </u>backbone attached to three fatty acids.
Fatty acids are classified based on the degree to which the carbon chain is saturated with <u><em>Hydrogen</em></u>
A fatty acid is <u><em>saturated </em></u>if it contains no carbon-carbon double bonds, <em><u>polyunsaturated </u></em>if it contains two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and<em><u> monounsaturated </u></em>if it has only one carbon-carbon double bond.
The unsaturated fatty acids can exist in one of two structural forms: the <em><u>trans </u></em>form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of that bond.
When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a <u><em>cis </em></u>formation exists.
Answer: Leaves in a cactus are modified into spines to reduce loss of water from leaves by transpiration. Then the plant makes from the process of photosynthesis which is performed by the stem.
Explanation:
Answer:
The question lacks options, the options are:
A) All cells contain a nucleus.
B) All cells come from other living cells
C) All living organisms are made of one or more cells.
D) Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things.
The answer is A
Explanation:
In 1830's, three scientists named; Mattias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann and Rudolph Virchow contributed to describing the basic properties of the cell, which they proposed in their so named CELL THEORY. This widely accepted cell theory has three components:
All living organisms are made up of one or more cells.
Cells are the basic and fundamental unit of life
All existing cells come from cells that have previously existed.
It was not proposed that all cells have a nucleus
