DNA is composed of nucleotides, which are composed of three parts:
1. A five carbon carbohydrate (pentose)
Pentose is classified as a monosaccharide (simple carbohydrate), and its molecular formula is represented by
. They are water soluble molecules with sweet taste. Monosaccharides may have from three carbon atoms (trioses) to six (hexoses). In DNA is present pentose (5 carbon atoms)
2. A nitrogenous base
Nitrogenous bases are ring-shaped compounds that contain nitrogen in their molecular structure. They are classified into two groups: purines and pyrimidines
The purine bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G). They are larger and contain more than one ring in their structure,.
The pyrimidines, cytosine (C), uracil (U) and thymine (T), are smaller and composed of a single ring.
3. One or more phosphate groups
A phosphate consists of a trivalent anion that contains one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is expressed by
.
The temperature of tropical areas relative to places more distant to the equator. Another reason why is higher nutrient cycling, which is also an effect of higher temperature.
Answer:
forest fires
Explanation:
An environmental change that occurs quickly and affects organisms immediately (causing behavioral adaptations).
floods, forest fires, blizzards, volcanic eruptions,
Autoinducer molecules are signalling molecules that need bacteria. In order for the autoinducer molecules to signal, the bacteria must find a way to initiate the signal and a way to respond to the signal it had created. Autoinducer molecules increase in production as the density of the bacteria cell increases.
