Answer:

The nitrogenous bases Adenine (A), pairs with uracil (U), while guanine (G) and cytosine (C) pair up.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are monomers that make up DNA and RNA- these are nucleic acids that function as storage, transport and messenger molecules for encoding proteins. Nucleotides contain a 5-carbon deoxyribose (with hydroxyl modifications) or ribose sugar (RNA), phosphate and one of four nitrogenous bases:

Adenine (A)

Guanine (G)

Cytosine (C)

Thymine (T).- DNA only

Uracil (U) found in RNA

Nucleotide monomers derive their names from their bases. Nucleic acid polymers form on a single strand through covalent bonding. This occurs between two nucleotides in an esterification reaction where a phosphodiester bond is formed.

Nitrogenous bases encourage hydrogen bonding, and resulting base pair formation. Adenine (A), pairs with uracil (U), while guanine (G) and cytosine (C) pair up.

How would you test the presence of starch in leaves?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

1. Remove a green leaf from the plant

2. Boil the leaf in boiling water stop enzymatic reaction within cells in leaf

3. Put the boiled leaf in boiling tube containing alcohol extract (ethanol) chlorophyll ethanol dissolves Lipids in cell membranes.

4. Return to leave to the hot water soften the leaf and allows penetration of iodine

5. Remove leaf and perform the iodine test

Explanation:

starch is white powdery substance consisting of glucose which is used by plants as food the percents of starch in leaves evidence enough of the process a photosynthesis being carried out in leaves as the formation of starch necessitates photosynthesis.

If the shape of an enzyme's active site were to change, what would happen to the reaction that the enzyme usually conducts?

USPshnik [31]

It would change too because the reaction is based on the enzyme.

Why does the amount of heat received by places far from the equator become less?

Ainat [17]

If the Earth were a disk with its surface perpendicular to the rays of sunlight, each point on it would receive the same amount of radiation. However, the Earth is a sphere and aside from the part closest to the sun, where the rays of sunlight are perpendicular to the ground, its surface tilts with respect to the incoming rays of energy with the regions furthest away. Hope this answers the question.
