Answer:

The correct answer is nitrogenous bases.

Explanation:

Nucleic acid like DNA and RNA acts as the genetic material of the organism.  The nucleic acid is formed of the monomer units called nucleotide where each nucleotide unit is made up of three molecules: a 5-C sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, nitrogenous bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil (in case of RNA).

It is the arrangement of these nitrogenous bases in the strand of DNA which makes it a genetic material as the ribosome during translation reads these nitrogenous bases from the sequence of mRNA in pair of three bases called "triplet codons". Each codon code for the specific amino acids which make up the protein molecule.  

Thus, nitrogenous base is the correct answer.

Cellular respiration is the process that converts nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a storage molecule that provides
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Plants perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Explanation:

  • Cellular respiration is the conversion of glucose into ATP and energy yielding molecules such as NADH and FADH2 along with water and oxygen and carbon dioxide as by-products.
  • Cellular respiration is a process that occurs both in autotrophs and heterotrophs.
  • Only the final stage of cellular respiration i.e. oxidative phosphorylation or electron transport chain requires oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
  • Heterotrophic cells don't take in carbondioxide, they utilize glucose obtained through food.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer would be c) food molecules.

A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle present usually in the center of the plant cell.

It contains a high amount of water as it plays important role in maintaining the turgor pressure of the cell.

In addition, it contains a high amount of ions (such as K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺), food molecules (such as glucose, sucrose, fructose), organic acids (such as malic, tartaric, quinic) and waste material.
