What holds the monomers of a single strand of nucleic acid together in a chain?

Biology
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Nucleic acids are of two types DNA and RNA which are made up of monomeric units called nucleotides.

One monomer is one nucleotide which further consists of three parts:

1: Nitrogenous base

2: Sugar (a ribose sugar in RNA and a deoxyribose sugar in DNA)

3: Phosphate group

Explanation:

If we talk about single strand of nucleic acid DNA or RNA, there is a phosphodiester linkage that holds monomers together in a strand of nucleic acids. This phospho di ester linkage is formed when a condensation reaction occurs between a hydroxyl group of two sugars and a phosphate group.

You can see a better representation in attached figure.

Hello!

An initial observation is the first thing a scientist notices about a topic before conducting the experiment. We can see that it is the first thing in the paragraph in this case, that dandelions grow as unwanted weeds in many lawns.

The hypothesis is the guess about the result of an experiment made before the experiment is conducted. In this case, it is that a weed killer (Killimal) would kill all the dandelions while leaving the grass healthy. This is not specifically a guess made by the scientist, but more like a prediction he wanted to verify.

An independent variable is the variable being changed in the experiment by the scientist. Here, it is whether Killimal was sprayed or not.

The dependent variable is the variable being measured, and the one being affected by the independent variable. His observation would be whether the grass and dandelions would be killed. This is because the weed killer would be directly affecting whether or not these would be killed.

The control variables are ones which are kept the same in the experiment as to not interfere with the final results. In this case, it would be the density of dandelions, the amount of sunlight, and the amount the plants were watered. These were kept exactly the same, as they could've affected the dependent variable if changed.

The control group was the one that is not impacted by the independent variable. The control group makes sure that it actually is the independent variable affecting the dependent, and it isn't some outside unknown variable. This would be the plot without the Killimal.

The experimental group is the one being experimented on from the independent variable. This would be the plot with the Killimal.

Hope this helps!

How does the body of a runner keep up with the demand for energy when cellular oxygen levels are low?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is through anaerobic respiration in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is of 2 types

1 Aerobic respiration Respiration that require oxygen to occur

2 Anaerobic respiration Respiration that do not requires oxygen.

During low oxygen level the body of runner keep up with the demand for energy by undergoing anaerobic respiration which includes Glycolysis.

  During anaerobic condition the functionally active body cells undergo glycolysis and with each glycolysis 2 molecules of ATP are generated which can some how boost the energy supply within runner"s body.
