The structure of DNA is called a double helix because DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides wound together in a spiral. 

DNA has two strands that run opposite of each other and twist together much like a twisted ladder. Each backbone of the ladder is made up of alternating groups of sugar and phosphate groups.

Different types of potatoes have varying natural sugar concentrations. explain how this may influence the water potential of eac
dedylja [7]
<span>In one sample, the potatoes that have more sugar will also have more water that will diffuse into them. Potatoes are hypertonic in relation to pure water,simply put, they will gain extra water weight as well as displace more water than potatoes that are lower in sugar. In a separate sample, potatoes that have a higher concentration of sugar will also lose far less water due to their lack of hypotonic nature. Those with lower sugar will easily loose more water.</span>
