Identify two structural features of purines and Pyrimidines

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answers are:

Purines:

C. contain four ring nitrogen atoms.

E. contain two heterocyclic rings.

Pyrimidines:

C. contain only two ring nitrogen atoms.

E. contain one heterocyclic ring.

Explanation:

Purines and Pyrimidines are nitrogenous bases which are the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).

<u>Purines</u> are composed by two fused heterocyclic rings, one of them is a 6-ring and the other is a 5-ring. Each ring contains two nitrogen atoms which form part of the ring. Thus, the nitrogen positions in purines are: 1', 3', 7' and 9'. Depending on the functional groups bonded to the two-ring structure, a purine base can be Guanidine (G) or Adenine (A).

The structure of <u>Pyrimidines</u> is a single heterocycle ring wich contains two nitrogen atoms in positions 1' and 3'. Depending of the functional groups, they can be: Cytosine (C), Thymidine (T) and Uracil (U, which is found in RNA).

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

In atomic physics, the Bohr model or Rutherford–Bohr model, presented by Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford in 1913, is a system consisting of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons—similar to the structure of the Solar System, but with attraction provided by electrostatic forces in place of gravity.
