The phosphate group of one nucleotide bonds covalently with the sugar molecule of the next nucleotide, and so on, forming a long polymer of nucleotide monomers. The sugar–phosphate groups line up in a “backbone” for each single strand of DNA, and the nucleotide bases stick out from this backbone. The carbon atoms of the five-carbon sugar are numbered clockwise from the oxygen as 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ (1′ is read as “one prime”). The phosphate group is attached to the 5′ carbon of one nucleotide and the 3′ carbon of the next nucleotide. In its natural state, each DNA molecule is actually composed of two single strands held together along their length with hydrogen bonds between the bases.
Answer:
O.
Explanation:
- The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.
- The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.
<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>
Answer:
2NaCl + FeO —-> 2Na2O + FeCl2
Explanation:
Answer:
1.1 M
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define variables</u>
1.2 mol KCL
1.1 L of solution
M = unknown
<u>Step 2: Solve for Molarity</u>
- Substitute: M = 1.2 mol/1.1 L
- Evaluate: M = 1.09091
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.</em>
1.09091 M ≈ 1.1 M
