. Explain why some desert animals excrete uric acid rather than ammonia.<br>(2 marks)​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

AFAIK

Explanation:

uric acid is much less toxic than ammonia, hence bigger concentrations of it are tolerated in the body. This means you can excrete it while excreting very little water - beneficial wherever water's not abundant.

There's a tradeoff though, uric acid requires more energy to synthesize than ammonia, so pretty much all fish, say, excrete ammonia rather than uric acid - it's no problem to dilute ammonia since there's no water shortage.

The difference between ATP and the nucleoside triphosphates used during DNA synthesis is that:
12345 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>d. The nucleoside triphosphates have the sugar deoxyribose; ATP has the sugar ribose.</em>

Explanation:

The nucleoside triphosphates are components of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) so they are composed by a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine or cytosine) and a deoxyribose sugar. In contraposition, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is composed by the nitrogenous base adenine and a ribose sugar along with three phosphates groups. Unlike ribose, deoxyribose is a 5-carbon sugar which lack of an oxygen atom in C2 position.

List the steps in the process of calculating average atomic mass given data about the isotopes of an element.
Nutka1998 [239]
To calculate the atomic mass of an element, the atomic masses of their isotopes must be considered. Their abundances must also be taken into account. This is the formula used for the calculation:
avg. atomic mass= ∑ <span>(isotope × abundance).
