Question 2: DNA polymerase cleaves the high-energy bonds between phosphate groups in nucleotide triphosphates (nucleotides in wh

ich three phosphate groups are attached to the 5′ carbon atom of the deoxyribose sugar). The enzyme uses this energy to catalyze the formation of a phosphodiester bond when incorporating new nucleotides into the growing chain.
a. How does this information explain why DNA chains grow during replication in the 5′-to-3′ direction?
b. The action of the enzyme DNA ligase in joining Okazaki fragments together. Remember that these fragments are connected only after the RNA primers at their ends have been removed. Given this information, infer the type of chemical bond whose formation is catalyzed by DNA ligase and whether or not a source of energy will be required to promote this reaction. Explain why DNA ligase and not DNA polymerase is required to join Okazaki fragments.

Answer:

a) because after the cleavage of the phosphate groups, the phosphate at the 5´carbon atom is ready to bind the oxigen from the OH- in 3´carbon en the incoming nucleotide

b) The DNA ligase will need an energy source because after removing the RNA, the 5´carbon will not have the three phosphates to be cleaved so that the energy of those unions can be used to catalize the new union

Answer:

number 1 answer is 3.

number 2 energy is flowing upwards. ex grasshopper eats the grass, rat or whatever that is eats the grasshopper, and the hawk eats the rat. energy is going up each trophic level.

number 3. if the grass became polluted, then animals would get pollution in their bodies and at some point would die. eventually the grass would die too. primary consumers such as mouse, rabbit, grasshopper/snails would accumulate the most pollution because they directly eat the grass. whatever that is in the grass goes straight into their bodies.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Objective Lens Magnification = ×100

Explanation:

In a microscope, the ocular (eyepiece) lenses are usually to a magnification of ×10, meaning that it magnifies the image 10 times. While the standard objective lenses have magnifications of ×4, ×10, ×40, and ×100.

In order to work out the total magnification, the individual magnifications of the ocular and objective lenses have to be known, after which a simple multiplication of both magnifications will give the total magnification used.

Total Magnification = (eyepiece lens magnification) × (objective lens magnification)

1000 = 10 × obejcetive lens magnification

Dividing both sides by 10

Objective lens magnification = 1000 ÷ 10 = 10

∴ Objective lens magnification = ×100
