Answer:
Nucleotides
Explanation:
Nucleotides are the organic molecules which serve as monomer units for the formation of nucleic acid polymers which are the deoxyribonucleic acid and the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and both are the essential biomolecules within the life on the Earth.
Nucleotides are building blocks of the nucleic acids. They are the molecules which are composed of three sub units which are:
- Nitrogenous base which is also called as nucleobase
- Five-carbon sugar which can be ribose or deoxyribose
- At least one phosphate group which is attached to the sugar.

Answer:
The u (amu is the old unit name) is 1/12 of the weight of an 12C atom. The way the u is chosen ensures that all core and atom masses are multiples of 1(±0.1) u.
Explanation:
Further explanation if needed...
Carbon 12 was chosen because the chemical atomic weights based on C12 are almost identical to the chemical atomic weights based on the natural mix of oxygen. Simply because the atomic mass is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C. Others isotopes of carbon (13C mostly, with an abundance of 1.1% approximately) account for an average atomic mass slightly above 12.
Answer:
beta particle
Explanation:
Explanation:
Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.
¹⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e
The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.
Beta radiations:
Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.
The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.
They can travel in air in few meter distance.
These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.
The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiations
Answer:
Explanation:
Molecules contain two or more atoms and are held together by covalent bonds, whereas compounds are held together by ionic bonds. Two or more elements bonded together through ionic attraction. ... The atoms within a compound also must be different from each other, whereas a molecule can consist of only one element
