Answer:

With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).

Explanation:

The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:

  • <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
  • <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>

From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:

<em>     A + C = G + T</em>

<em>     5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>

Please someone help me and yes it can be more then one answer but give me your best answer

Answer:

????

Explanation:

None of those seem to be correct to me.

1. Observations are made using the five senses- sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. So this is invalid.

2. Observations and experiments can both be done anywhere

3. See answer to 2

4. It's cut off? But observations can literally be as simple as looking at a stick and noting that it's brown, so from what I can read, it's invalid.

Describe in words what occurs during the process represented by the photosynthesis equation. Include the importance of sunlight
8_murik_8 [283]

Photosynthesis usually takes place in the leaves. Leaf cells contain many chloroplasts (up to 50 per cell). These organelles contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, capable of capturing light energy. This energy is used to make sugar molecules from water drawn from the soil by the roots and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, captured by the leaves. The sugars produced subsequently distributed in the different parts of the plant.

Here is the reaction of photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2

But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:

photochemical reactions (clear phase):

12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy;

the Calvin cycle (dark phase):

6 CO2 + chemical energy ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.

The first phase of photosynthesis, called clear phase, requires the illumination of the leaf. Chlorophyll, which is embedded in the thylakoid membrane, absorbs light energy. This energy absorption is accompanied by the degradation of water molecules and the release of oxygen.

In a second phase independent of light, called the dark phase, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used for the transformation of carbon dioxide molecules into sugar molecules.

The sugars made by photosynthesis are stored in the cell as starch, transformed into other organic molecules, such as proteins, or degraded in the mitochondria during respiration to meet the energy needs of the plant.
