Answer:

1. DNA polymerase

2. DNA primase

3. DNA helicase

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process whereby the genetic material gets duplicated i.e producing an identical copy of a sequence. This process requires the aid of certain enzymes that play specific functions. Some of the important enzymes include:

- DNA polymerase is the enzyme considered to be the most important because it directly adds nucleotides to the strand based on what it reads on the template strand.

- DNA helicase is the enzyme that separates the double stranded DNA molecule into two single strands that forms a structure called REPLICATION FORK.

- DNA primase is the enzyme that adds a short RNA sequence called PRIMERS to the lagging strand of DNA in order for DNA polymerase to start its nucleotide synthesis.

What happens to atoms when food is being digested
lara31 [8.8K]
While plants can produce their own energy using the process of photosynthesis, animals (and other organisms that can’t do photosynthesis) must eat to get energy from food molecules. Just like energy can be stored in the chemical bond between the second and third phosphate of an ATP molecule, energy can also be stored in the chemical bonds that make up food molecules. Most of the energy that we use comes from molecules of glucose, a simple sugar.
