Answer:

*Thymidine

*THF to DHF

*THF

Explanation:

Normal cells die in a nutrient medium containing thymidine and methotrexate, whereas mutant cells defective in thymidylate synthase survive and grow. The mutant cells grow because the medium contains the_____Thymidine______ they are unable to make normal cells, however, continue to synthesize their own and thereby convert their limited supply of to__THF to DHF______ . The methotrexate inhibits , so cannot be regenerated. Without a supply of______THF_____ for the synthesis of nucleotides and amino acids, the cells die.

NOTE:

THF means Tetrahydrofolate

DHF means Dihydrofolate

Thymidine which is also reffered to as deoxythymidine, is described as a deoxynucleoside that is composed of the pyrimidine base thymine that is attached to the sugar deoxyribose. Thymidine is a nucleoside made up of pentose sugar, pyrimidine base tymine and deoxyribose, it is one of the the four nucleoside found in exclusively DNA as well as T-loop of tRNA.

Tetrahydrofolate also known as tetrahydrofolic acid can be described as part of folic acid that function as a coenzyme which aid metabolic reactions that includes nucleic acid and amino acids. It is also reffered to as one-carbon metabolism, and it's oone-carbon mechanism is associated to the histidine, serine of amino acid.

Answer:

C. The particles that make up the aluminium bar are moving faster.

Explanation:

You can notice how you rub your hands outside during winter, right? It gets warmer the more you rub your hands, so it is basically like that, but with the particles of the aluminium bar.

The Changing Forms of Carbon
Tom [10]

Carbon is found in different forms on the Earth. It is found as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as carbonate and bicarbonate salts in various minerals, as well as it occurs in the elemental form of diamonds and graphite. All biotic factors are based on carbon-containing molecules like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids and vitamins. Carbon is incorporated into life-forms through photosynthesis which is performed in the presence of sunlight by all life-forms that contain chlorophyll. Photosynthesis converts CO2 from the atmosphere or dissolved in water into glucose molecules. These molecules are either converted into other substances or used to provide energy for the synthesis of other biologically important molecules.

The use of glucose to provide energy to living things involved the process of respiration in which oxygen may or may not be used to convert glucose back into CO2. This CO2 goes back into the atmosphere again. The process of combustion also adds to the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This percentage is said to have increased when human beings started cutting down trees, burning fossil fuels, etc. on a very large scale. Thus, carbon is cycled repeatedly through different forms by the various physical and biological activities and this cycle is therefore called carbon cycle.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
