Answer:

The correct answer is 500.

Explanation:

Asteroids are large rocky remains that are orbiting our solar system. Most of them are between Mars and Jupiter.

The largest recorded asteroid is called Vesta, which has 530 km in diameter. The smallest asteroids are approximately 10 meters wide. If you would like to have an idea of how large an asteroid can be, imagine that the total mass of all asteroids together is even less than the mass of the moon.

These rock forms usually have an irregular shape and have craters. As they move forward, they also fall as they spin.

We can classify them according to their composition into three types:

Type C asteroids: Their appearance is dark and they are formed by clay and silicate rocks.

Type S asteroids: Its main component is silicate and nickel-iron.

M-type asteroids: Its composition is metallic.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "Sequence of bases".

Explanation:

Even though DNA most of the time is comprised entirely of only four different nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanosine and citosine), it is the sequence of these bases that allows DNA to carry a vast amount of hereditary information. The genes that carry the hereditary information are translated according to the sequence of the DNA bases. The information is translated by triplets of bases (codons) that correspond to different amino acids that are added to new synthesized proteins during translation.

Why is ATP used as an active energy source over glucose?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

If you want to get some energy out of an ATP molecule, all you have to do is break off one of those phosphate groups. ... The ATP hydrolysis looks more like the breaking down of polysaccharides into glucose than the catabolism of glucose itself, and this is at the core of the difference between the two molecules
