The structure of DNA consists of three main molecules-

1. Nucleotides

2. Sugar

3. Phosphate

Now, nucleotides are present on the inner side of the DNA strand, the sides or the backbone of DNA is made of the other two molecules, i.e. sugar and phosphate. The structure looks like the image shared below. One carbon atom of the sugar molecule is connected to nucleotide, and two carbons are connected to phosphates at two sides. This way a chain or the backbone of DNA is formed.

The correct sequence of sound waves in the ear is ________.
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

d. malleus > incus > stapes > oval window

Explanation:

Sound waves enter external auditory canal which makes the eardrum to vibrate. Malleus is in contact with eardrum while stapes is in contact with the oval window. Movement of malleus makes the incus to move which in turn stimulates large movement in stapes.  

Since stapes is in contact with the oval window, the vibration from stapes passes to the oval window. Hence, among the given options, the correct order of movement of sound waves is "malleus > incus > stapes > oval window" .

How many 02 molecules are required for two glucose molecules to undergo cellular respiration?
jekas [21]
Answer: 12

Explanation: the reaction is: C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + 38 ATP + heat
Because of the 2 glucose molecules you multiply the stoichiometry with a factor 2 so: 2 x 6 O2 = 12 O2
