DNA is composed of nucleotides, which are composed of three parts:
1. A five carbon carbohydrate (pentose)
Pentose is classified as a monosaccharide (simple carbohydrate), and its molecular formula is represented by . They are water soluble molecules with sweet taste. Monosaccharides may have from three carbon atoms (trioses) to six (hexoses). In DNA is present pentose (5 carbon atoms)
2. A nitrogenous base
Nitrogenous bases are ring-shaped compounds that contain nitrogen in their molecular structure. They are classified into two groups: purines and pyrimidines
The purine bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G). They are larger and contain more than one ring in their structure,.
The pyrimidines, cytosine (C), uracil (U) and thymine (T), are smaller and composed of a single ring.
3. One or more phosphate groups
A phosphate consists of a trivalent anion that contains one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is expressed by .
One option is that the samples run through gel electrophoresis is too small to be recognized (shorter strands of DNA travel further through the gel and larger strands travel shorter). The other option in that the restriction enzyme did not cut the DNA in the proper spot or there was a mutation in the bases that allowed for a mistake in the cutting; that is why there are 800 base pairs in one sample (that's a lot) An example of a mutation is that lets say the restriction enzyme was supposed to cut at the second G in GGACC. But if that G was turned into an A, then the restriction enzyme wouldn't cut there.
For number 5, you might have 800 because of the restriction enzyme cutting it wrong, a mutation that allowed for the cutting to not take place, or a fault in the sample taking.
I am an AP Biology student right now in Wisconsin. I just finished that worksheet this morning :) anymore questions just hit me up
A decomposer is an organism usually a bacteria or fungus that decomposes organic material.
Decomposers are considerd the last tropic level because they feed on everything.
Hope it helped!
Answer:
Energy cannot be destroyed but moves from one state to another
Explanation:
In an ecosystem the dependence on energy is one of the main driving forces. Most animals and plants are always growing, changing location and moving and all these functions require energy. The energy after transformation from the sun, is referred to as biomass and the transfer of energy from one organism to another is called a food web.
The answer is:
D. Matter and energy can change forms and locations in ecosystems.
A. light energy, above the arrow
<span>Photosynthesis is a process wherein light energy is converted into chemical energy. </span>
Components of photosynthesis:
Water
Carbon Dioxide
Light energy, mostly from sunlight, is the main requirement for photosynthesis to occur.
