Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options. However, it can be answered based on general knowledge of the DNA structure.

Hydrogen bonds in a DNA are located between the nucleotides that holds the double stranded DNA molecules.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living cells. The DNA molecule is made up of nucleotides monomers. However, since the DNA molecule is double-stranded, the nucleotides are of two chains composed of four nucleotide subunits viz: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).

The two chains of nucleotides in a DNA molecule are called strands. Each strand is bonded to one another by the nucleotides using complementary base pairing i.e. A-T, G-C. The bonds between the nucleotidew of each strand is called HYDROGEN BOND.

Hence, HYDROGEN BONDS in a DNA molecule is located in between two nucleotides of each strand. That is, hydrogen bond holds Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine.

Why does hypertension have negative effects on health and homeostasis

maksim [4K]

Hypertension (high blood pressure) has negative effects on health because people with this condition have a higher risk for heart disease and other medical problems than people with normal blood pressure.

If left untreated , hypertension can lead to :

1. heart attack

2. Stroke

3. enlarged heart

4. Kidney damage.

Once the kidneys are damaged, homeostasis in the body is severely impaired because the body no longer has the ability to clear waste products, which when they accumulate tend to poison the body leading to such conditions as uremia.

When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate, it becomes an ATP molecule. This process is called _____.

disa [49]

The correct answer is phosphorylation. When an ADP (Adenine Diphosphate) molecule gains a phosphate, it becomes an (Adenine Triphosphate) molecule. This process is called a phosphorylation. Phosphorylation and its counterpart dephosphorylation change many proteins in terms of its functions and activities.

Maurinko [17]

Answer;

As liquid water freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that takes up more space than liquid water. What would most likely occur if the arrangement of frozen water molecules required less space than that of liquid water molecules? A).The density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water, and ice would not float. B). Ice would form in layers, and liquid water would get trapped in between the layers. Liquid water would have a higher specific heat, making it less likely to undergo vaporization. C).The freezing point of water would decrease, making ice more difficult to form.
