Water is the single source as it provides the electrons by splitting into oxygen and hydrogen. This process happens during the light-dependent reactions.
Answer Choices:
DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function
DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions
DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function
DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid
Answer:
DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function
Explanation:
DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function - this is false. DNA does not provide energy. A molecule called ATP, mostly produced by cellular respiration, provides energy for the cells to grow and function.
DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions - this is false. While it is true that DNA is copied into mRNA, mRNA does not directly control cellular functions. Instead, mRNA is translated into proteins.
DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function - <u>this is true, as indicated above, DNA is transcribed to mRNA which is translated into proteins. Proteins carry out essentially all the functions in the cell</u>
DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid - this is false, DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Each mRNA codon (three bases) codes for a different amino acid
<span>The two scientists, who are credited with creating the first accurate model of DNA are JAMES WATSON and FRANCIS CRICK. The success that these two scientists achieved concerning DNA structure is based on the works of other scientists, who have carried out series of research on DNA. The real proof of Watson - Crick model for DNA was released in 1982, this was after the B form of DNA was crystallized and its X ray pattern was solved.</span>
