A student is given five samples and told they are lysine (an amino acid), lactose (a disaccharide), insulin (a protein hormone),

RNA and fat. The samples are in test tubes marked 1-5, but the student doesn't know which compound is in which tube. The student is instructed to identify the contents of each tube. Base on these data, identify what is in each tube. In her first test, she tries to hydrolyze a portion of the contents of each tube. Hydrolysis occurs in all tubes except tube 3. In the next test, she finds that tubes 1, 2, and 3 are positive for nitrogen but only tube 2 gives a positive result for the presence of sulfur. In the next test the student shows that the compound in tube 1 contains a high percentage of phosphate. In the final test the student shows that compound 5 is hydrophobic. Base on these data, identify what is in each tube. 1 2 3 4 5 A. lactose B. RNA C. lysine D. fat

5 0

Answer:

1. RNA 2. Insulin 3. Lysine 4. Lactose 5. Fat

Explanation:

RNA contains both nitrogen and phosphate hence it is the substance in tube 1.

Insulin being a protein contains sulfur hence it is the substance in tube 2.

Lysine does not hydrolyse hence it is the substance in tube 3.

Fat is hydrophobic hence it is the substance in tube 5.

Since lactose does hydrolyse and because the rest have been identified, it must be the substance in tube 4.

Which of the following does not contribute to the formation of the mid atlantic ridge
dedylja [7]

Answer:

This submarine Mid-Atlantic Ridge owes its formation to the movement of the continental plates on either side of the ocean. As these plates slowly separate, they leave gaps in the earth's crust. This allows molten rock from beneath the earth's crust to reach the surface, forming a new part of the ocean floor

how does the presence of white flowers cahnge from the parent generation to first generation of offspring to the second genratio
UNO [17]

Answer:

P generation:  1 purple flower (AA)  :  1 white flower (aa)

F1 generation:  4 purple flowers (Aa)  :  0 white flowers

F2 generation:  3 purple flowers (AA, Aa)  :  1 white flower

Explanation:

Assuming the parents are AA and aa, the allele for white flowers is recessive, so there needs to be two of them for the trait to be expressed.  Thus, the capital A purple allele that the other parent contributes will mask that white allele and all the flowers will appear purple.  However, all of the offspring are Aa now, so when they are crossed, there's a 25% chance that they'll both contribute the lowercase a allele that codes for white flowers.  Remember that if both of them give the lowercase a allele then the offspring will be aa and appear white.
