Answer:

DNA is also called deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of two chains which wind around each other to form a double helix model. The 2 DNA strands are also called polynucleotides and they are made up of monomeric units known as nucleotides. These nucleotides are made up of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases: cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine, a phosphate group, and sugar known as deoxyribose.

Nitrogen bases present on the two separate polynucleotides strands are bound together with the help of base pairing (such as adenine with Thymine) and with hydrogen bonds to form double-stranded DNA.

So, adenine in DNA is complementary to thymine.

kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct options are MACROPHAGES AND NEUTROPHILSE.

Explanation:

Majority of the white blood cells in humans are specialized phagocytic cells, examples of these are macrophages, neutrophilse, monoctyes, mast cells and dendritic cells. The major functions of phagocytic cells is to protect the human body from disease pathogens. They do this by ingesting foreign bodies that are found in the body. Macrophages and neutrophilse are the major phagocytic cells in the body, they are the principal effector of non-specific host defense and inflammation.

Scorpion cells undergo aerobic respiration, during aerobic respiration oxygen is used, and ATP is created.

During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is absorbed with oxygen to form ATP, which can be used by cells. Carbon dioxide and air are formed as by-products. The overall extension to aerobic cellular respiration is: During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen form ATP.

This process takes place in the mitochondria. So respiration occurs in animals and plants because both have mitochondria.

Aerobic respiration is respiration that requires oxygen while anaerobic respiration is respiration that does not require oxygen. Aerobic respiration consists of several stages, namely: glycolysis, oxidative decarboxylation, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain which have been discussed in the previous material.
