How are DNA and RNA different

Biology
2 answers:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

A few key differences:

  • DNA and RNA are abbreviations for <em>deoxyribonucleic acid </em>and <em>ribonucleic acid</em> respectively. This difference has to do with the fact that DNA contains a sugar called <em>deoxyribose </em>while RNA's sugar is simply <em>ribose</em>.
  • DNA has a <em>double-helical </em>structure while RNA is a single strand (resembling a single strand off a DNA's double helix). See the attached image for an illustration of this structure.
  • The bases of DNA are <em>guanine, cytosine, adenine, </em>and <em>thymine</em>. In RNA, by contrast, thymine is replaced by <em>uracil</em>.
  • Functionally, DNA is a kind of storage unit for genetic information. RNA <em>uses </em>this information to build proteins, copying it from the master copy contained in the DNA and converting it to a form the ribosomes can use.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

1. Initial air temperature: 0 °C (32 °F)

2. Initial body temperature: 37 °C (99 °F)

3. The expected effect of different factors on body temperature are:

   A. Raising air temperature: Increase

   B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

   C. Adding clothing: Increase

   D. Exercising: Increase

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, it is necessary to look for a software related to this homework.

<u>Homeostasis is a property of organisms that consists in their capacity to maintain a stable internal condition by compensating for changes in their environment</u> through the regulated exchange of matter and energy with the exterior. It is a a dynamic equilibrium controlled by a mechanism of feedback that constitute the self-regulating mechanisms. Examples of homeostasis are temperature regulation and the balance between acidity and alkalinity (pH)

The Human Homeostasis Gizmo™ is a software that allows you to explore  how the human body stays at a nearly constant  temperature in different conditions.  To use it, you have to set the air temperature at 0 °C (32 °F) and the body temperature at 37 °C (99 °F), and click Play. After a simulation of 1 hour, then click Pause and gather the information. Then, do the same cprocedure  to test the effect of other factors and Click Reset between each trial. To determine the effect of different factors on body temperature, you have to compare the  final body temperature to the final body temperature while  there is no specific movement or change.

Then:

1. Initial air temperature: 0 °C (32 °F)

2. Initial body temperature: 37 °C (99 °F)

3. The expected effect of different factors on body temperature are:

   A. Raising air temperature: Increase

   B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

   C. Adding clothing: Increase

   D. Exercising: Increase

This is for a logical reason, anything you do to heat it or generate heat, will increase the temperature. And anything you do to generate cold, will lower the temperature.

The effect of different factors on body temperature according to Gizmo:

   A. Raising air temperature: Increase

   B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

   C. Click Add to a sweatshirt, hat, pants, and  parka. Then, adding clothing:

   Maintained

   D. Set the Exercise level to 70%, then exercising: Increase

When the temperature increases, it is because you are able to record the results from the software and you see temperature goes from 99 °F to 100 °F. When the temperature decreases. it is because it goes from 99 °F to 97 °F. When it is maintained, there is no change.

Does anyone know the answer?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

C. Sunlight penetrates to greater depths in land than water

Explanation:

Water is a poor conductor of heat which is why it takes much longer for water to conduct heat than it does land.

I hope this helped :)

Mountain lions/highest trophic levels receives less energy as energy is lost at each level/mountain lions are larger than most animals and require (smaller) individuals for food.
