Answer:

Cellulose

Explanation:

Cellulose is a carbohydrate (made up of carbon and and hydrogen atoms). This is common component of cotton and wood. It is also a major component of plant cell walls Cellulose is a polymer that is composed of 3000 or more than 3000 glucose monomers linked together through β(1→4) D-linkage.

It is considered to be one of the most abundant polymers of organic nature on the earth.

  • It has a number of commercial uses like:
  • Manufacturing of paper and paper based products.
  • In scientific labs for conducting thin layer chromatography.
  • Manufacture of textile for clothings.
  • Manufacturing of biofuels and pharmaceuticals.

What are the steps of DNA Replication in order?
slega [8]

Explanation:

1) The enzyme helicase catalyses the unwinding of the two DNA strands by disrupting the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs.

2) Single-stranded binding proteins attach to the DNA strands to stabilise them and prevent them from joining back together.

3) The enzyme primase catalyses the addition of a short primer consisting of RNA nulceotides to the DNA strand. This serves as an 'anchor' DNA polymerase to initiate replication.

4) The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA strand by incorporating DNA nucleotides complementary to the existing strand. DNA polymerase activity only occurs in the 5' ---> 3' direction.

5) The enzyme ligase catalyses the formation of hydrogen bonds between the two new pairs of DNA strands, and seals any breakages in the sugar-phosphate backbone.
