Biology
1 answer:
andrezito [222]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. The phosphate portions attract water, and the lipid portions repel water

Explanation:

The phosphate parts are polar, meaning they're partially charged, so they attract water molecules, which also have partial charges. The lipids are non-polar, so they don't attract water molecules, meaning they can't dissolve in water.

harina [27]

Answer:

b. cause an increase in blood pH.

Explanation:

Carbonic anhydrases are zinc-containing enzymes that catalyze the reversible reaction of conversion between CO2 and bicarbonates (carbon dioxide hydration and bicarbonate dehydration). The conversion of bicarbonate to CO2 facilitates its entry into the cell. On the other hand, the conversion of CO2 to bicarbonate helps keep the CO2 inside the cell.

This enzyme is important in all living organisms for maintenance of acid-base balance (regulates pH ). For example, carbonic anhydrases lowers pH in the stomach by producing an acid.

Out of the following given choices;

contain ribose

consist of two strands

made of nucleotides

have an R group

The answer is 'made of nucleotides'. This is because out of the choices, DNA and RNA share the similarity of being made of nucleotides. However, while DNA is made of deoxyribose nucleotides, RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides. This difference is that in deoxyribose nucleotide, the 2nd carbon has a hydroxyl group while ribose nucleotide has hydrogen.
