Answer:

1=hydroxyl of phosphate

2=hydroxyl

Explanation:

Nucleic acid is the condensation polymer of nucleotide. Nucleotides are link together through ester bond. The hydroxyl group of phosphate on one nucleotide goes to condensation reaction with the hydroxyl group of another nucleotide. This is chain process, a large molecule of nucleic acid is formed. It is also called polynucleotide.

RNA and DNA are formed by the nucleic acid. The building block of nucleic acid made up of three chemicals.

  1. Pentose sugar
  2. Base
  3. Phosphate

Pentose sugar:

The sugars present in DNA and RNA is pentose. In DNA this sugar is deoxyribose while in case of RNA this is ribose sugar. The hydroxyl groups are present on these sugars. Ribose consist of four hydroxyl group while deoxyribose consist of three hyrdroxyl group. These react with phosphoric acid and carboxylic acid and form ester.

Base:

RNA and DNA are consist of four bases:

DNA= Adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine

RNA= Adenine, guanine, uracil, cytosine

Phosphate:

The inorganic acid H3PO4 is present. The hydroxyl group present on it undergoes the reaction with amines and alcohol to form amide and ester respectively.

Much like its household namesake, a molecular sieve utilizes differences in what property of substances to separate the componen
nlexa [21]

Answer: B . particle size

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that a molecular sieve is a device, whose composition allows the absorbtion of molecules that are small enough to pass through its pores, since it is made up of small pores of a precise and uniform size.

Thus, very small molecules manage to pass through the pores of the sieve, while large ones do not.

So, based on this premise, a molecular sieve separates the substances by their size.

Hence, the correct option is B.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Option 2= Glucose

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made up of two phospholipid layers and each contain phosphate head and fatty acid or lipid tails. the head is present between the outer and inner boundaries and tail is present in between. The small non- polar molecules can pass the membrane through simple diffusion. This lipid tail restrict the passage of polar molecules including water soluble substances like glucose. However, transmembranes are present that allow the molecules to inter that are blocked by the tails.

Facilitated diffusion:

it is a type of diffusion in which caries protein without using the cellular energy shuttle the molecules to the cell membrane. Glucose is bind on the carrier protein ,change the shape and transport it from one to another side of membrane. In order to absorb the glucose red blood cells use this kind of diffusion.

Primary active transport:

The cells that are present along small intestine use this type of transport to pump the glucose inside the cell. The primary active transport require energy to transport the glucose inside.

Secondary active transport:

It is another method of transport of glucose into the cell. This method can not use ATP but it is based on concentration gradient of the sodium that provide electro chemical energy for the glucose transport.

Glucose and hexanoic acid each contain six carbon atoms, but they have completely different properties. Glucose is a nutrient fo
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Functional groups.

Explanation:

Functional groups are the specific substituents present within the molecules which are responsible for characteristic chemical properties the molecule shows.

Glucose contains alcohol and aldehyde group while hexanoic acid contains carboxylic acid group. <u>The presence different types of the functional groups in both the compounds results in the difference in the properties of both the compounds.</u>
