The teacher was most likely using the Backbone.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D (Backbone).

Explanation:

DNA is a large molecule made up of monomer units called nucleotides and serves the function of genetic material of organisms.

Each nucleotide is made up of 5-C sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate group (PO₄³⁻) and nitrogenous bases (adenine,cytosine,guanine and thymine). Sugar and phosphate molecule forms the backbone of the DNA while nitrogenous bases are stacked perpendicular to the backbone which pair with another complimentary base by hydrogen bonds forming a double helical structure of DNA in organisms.

Since teacher was modeling the DNA with the coiled springs, she was modeling the backbone of the DNA formed of sugar and phosphate which twists after every 10 bp or 3.4 nm length.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

1. What was the independent variable in this lab? *
Lelechka [254]
I can’t give you a specific answer because I’m not sure what your lab is. However, an independent variable is the variable that is changed, the dependent variable is the variable that is affected by the change, and the constant variables are those which remain the same throughout the entire experiment.

Enolase is an enzyme that catalyzes one reaction in glycolysis in all organisms that carry out this process. The amino acid sequ
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Ph that is below or above the optimal range will result in enzyme activity loss.  if the pH changes above or below optimum range affects the charges that is present on the amino acid molecules. Amino acids presrnt in the active  site of enzymes that attracted each other may no longer continue to be attracted. Again, the shape of the active site of the enzyme changes due to the substrate binding will be affected. conclusively, we can say that the enzymes are denatured.

b) researchers are most likely to use a negative control when measuring the rate of reaction in the presence of each organisms. enolase is controlled  with no enzyme.

c) c) Since the C.aurantiacus grows best at 550C , we can say that the enzymes that they produce must be at this temperature and so they must be sensitive to this temperature ; hence they would show more activity at 550C temperature.

what would happen to the planet if all oxygen breathing organisms became extinct and only plants remained on the earth
Svetlanka [38]

see plants are also living beings, they also need oxygen for respiration. There would be less carbon dioxide available for plants for photosynthesis. Atmosphere will be clean, less polluted, clean water. No fighting, peaceful, cool environment

Question 12 of 20 :
daser333 [38]
A; Carbon’s atomic number is 6, atomic number indicates the amount of protons in an atom. The number of protons (positively charged particles) is equal to the number of electrons (negatively charged particles). Because atoms have a neutral charge. The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011; this is the amount of protons plus the amount of neutrons because electrons are so small they weigh almost nothing compared to protons and neutrons. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the number of protons from the average atomic mass. 12.011-6=6.011 (which can just be rounded to 6). So a carbon atom has 6 neutrons. Answer A is correct because it correctly states that an atom of carbon has 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons
