Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged polar head, which is hydrophilic. The fatty acid chains are the uncharged, nonpolar tails, which are hydrophobic.

What is the volume of 2.7 moles of N2 at STP?​
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

60.48L

Explanation:

By definition, at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), any gas takes up a volume of 22.4L.

Consequently, because the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) states that the number of moles is directly proportional to the volume of the gas, 2.7M of N2 takes up a volume of:

2.7*22.4L

=60.48L

One strand of a DNA molecule has the following sequence: 3-AGTACAAACTATCCACCGTC-5. In order for transcription to occur in that s
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: Promoter

Explanation:

Transcription is the first step in gene expression which consists of copying the DNA sequence of a gene to produce a RNA molecule. There are enzymes called <u>RNA polymerases which perform this process of transcription</u>. These enzymes bind nucleotides (the monomers which are part of the nucleic acids) to create a RNA strand using a DNA strand as a mold.

A promoter is a region of DNA that controls the initiation of transcription of a given portion of DNA to RNA. Therefore they promote the transcription of a gene. <u>The promoter region is composed of a specific sequence of DNA located just where the starting point of the DNA transcription is</u> and contains the information needed to activate or deactivate the gene it regulates. <u>The promoter has a binding site for the RNA polymerase enzyme </u>in charge of mRNA synthesis and when it recognizes this site, transcription begins.
