Answer:

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the <u>phosphate</u> group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the <u>hydroxyl</u> group attached to the <u>3'</u> carbon atom

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are polymers formed by a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) and a nitrogenous base. In the chain, the phosphate groups are linked to the 5'-carbon and 3'-carbon of the ribose (or deoxyribose) and the nitrogenous base is linked to the 2-carbon. Based on this structure, the nucleic acid chain orientation is identified as the 5'-end (the free phosphate group linked to 5'-carbon of the sugar) and the 3'-end (the free hydroxyl group in the sugar in 3' position).

What is the correct chemical equation for the reaction between methane and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:   CH₄     +    3/2 O₂     ⇒     CO₂    +   2 H₂O

Explanation:

Methane = CH₄

Oxygen = O

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

                      CH₄     +    3/2 O₂     ⇒     CO₂    +   2 H₂O

        This is the balanced equation

What forms when all of the continents on earths surface merge into one massive landform?
Nutka1998 [239]
Continents are generally the largest landforms on Earth. The Eurasian continent, a combination of Europe and Asia (since they are in contact for thousands of miles along the Ural Mountains) is by far the largest landform. Even without including Europe, Asia is the largest of the individual continents.
Hope this helped.
