Agata [3.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

  • The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component, or “backbone,” of the macromolecules. Individual carbon atoms have an incomplete outermost electron shell.

Answer:

C. a string of nucleotides that can be used as a template to produce a RNA that codes for a protein.

Explanation:

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA containing genetic information required to make a specific protien and  is a string of nucleotides (DNA in cells) that can be used as a template to produce a RNA (by transcription) that codes for a protein. The produced RNA might be the end product (for example some transfer RNA's) or might be further translated into a protein. An organism's entire complement of DNA is its genome.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

a) Acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase.

Explanation:

After it binds for its receptor on the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic cell, acetylcholine must be removed in order to prevent repeated stimulation. Acetylcholinesterase is enzyme for the inactivation of acetylcholine, present at all cholinergic synapses. This enzyme hydrolyses acetylcholine and breaks it to the acetate and choline. Choline can be reused for the synthesis of the new acetylcholine molecule so it is taken back into the presynaptic cell.

People who have leukemia, a cancer that affects white blood cells, are often given Cytrabine. This drug inhibits the synthesis of DNA.

S-phase of cell cycle is most affected by Cytrabine because cytrabine interfers with synthesis of DNA and we know that in S-phase of cell cycle synthesis of DNA takes place.
