Which is an example of a building block that helps form DNA? cytosine polypeptide ribose uracil

1 answer:

7 0

<span>Cytosine is a building block of DNA,
it is a component to DNAs base pairs and pairs with guanine (these pairs make up the rungs of its double helix)... it is not Ribose as plain Ribose has a hydroxyl group where a hydrogen atom should be if it were to be found in DNA and be deoxyribose (hence deoxyribonucleic acid and not ribonucleic acid since ribonucleic acid is RNA). Uracil is only found in RNA and actually takes Cytosine's place in the rungs of RNA and binds with guanine (although RNA is not in the conventional double helix shape and more resembles a protein in shape). Polypeptide is a long peptide chain and usually associated with proteins and not DNA....</span>

(e) Another student investigated the rate of a different reaction

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

0.07 g/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass lost = 9.85 g

Time taken = 2 min 30 s

Mean rate =?

Next, we shall convert 2 min 30 s to seconds (s). This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Thus,

2 min = 2 × 60 = 120 s

Therefore,

2 min 30 s = 120 s + 30 s = 150 s

Finally, we shall determine the mean rate of the reaction. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mass lost = 9.85 g

Time taken = 150 s

Mean rate =?

Mean rate = mass lost / time taken

Mean rate = 9.85 / 150

Mean rate = 0.07 g/s

Therefore, the mean rate of the reaction is 0.07 g/s

A 720. cm^3 vessel contains a mixture of Ar and Xe. If the mass of the gas mixture is 2.966 g at 25.0°C and the pressure is 760.

sleet_krkn [62]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Pressure (P) = 760 torr = 1 atm

Volume (V) = $720 cm^{3}$ = 0.720 L

Temperature (T) = $25^{o}C$ = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

Using ideal gas equation, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

PV = nRT

Total atoms present (n) = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

= $1 \times \frac{0.720 L}{0.0821 \times 298}$

= 0.0294 mol

Let us assume that there are x mol of Ar and y mol of Xe.

Hence, total number of moles will be as follows.

x + y = 0.0294

Also, 40x + 131y = 2.966

x = 0.0097 mol

y = (0.0294 - 0.0097)

= 0.0197 mol

Therefore, mole fraction will be calculated as follows.

Mol fraction of Xe = $\frac{y}{(x+y)}$

= $\frac{0.0197}{0.0294}$

= 0.67

Therefore, the mole fraction of Xe is 0.67.

Which list consists of elements that have the most similar chemical properties?

Scilla [17]

(2) Mg, Ca, and Ba have the most similar chemical properties, and we know this because of their coexistence in the group alkali earth metals (group 2) on the periodic table.
