32P can be used to make any nucleotide (A, C, G, or T) radioactive. Which of the following explains why this is true?

Answers

The answer is: All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P.

DNA building blocks are nucleotides. Nucleotides contain a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and, at least, one phosphate group. Exactly that phosphate group in the nucleotide has the phosphorus atom. Therefore, the phosphorus atom in the nucleotide can be replaced with radioactive phosphorus-32 (32P). This replacement has a wide use in labeling nucleic acids and thereby visualizing the target molecule.

The answer is: All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P.

Cells can contain thousands of different genes; however there is often only a small percentage of these genes that are being expressed at any given time. this indicates that - a. cells are unable to express all genesb. gene expression is regulatedc: the expression of genes is randomd unused genes are removed from the dna

Answers

Answer:

b. gene expression is regulated

Explanation:

Several mechanisms exist in the cell which regulate the turning on or turning off of certain genes.

These mechanisms are collectively referred to as gene regulation. The regulation can occur in several ways, including;

  • Structural and chemical changes to genetic materials in the cell.
  • Regulation of  transcription process.
  • Regulation of mRNA translation or protein synthesis

The correct option is b.

Lotions applied during winter season moisturize the skin very quickly. What could be the reason for this? A.The oils in the lotion enter the skin cells by means of phagocytosis.
B.The oils in the lotion enter the skin cells with the help of carrier proteins.
C.The oils in the lotion enter the skin cells by means of facilitated diffusion.
D.The oils in the lotion enter the skin cells by means of simple diffusion.

Answers

The right answer is D.

The absorption of molecules at the level of the skin is carried out by passive diffusion for the molecules of low molecular weight (lower than 400 Da), the skin being covered with a lipoprotein film rich in water by its stratum corneum, rendering it little-permeable.

This absorption may be variable according to factors related to the skin such as stratum corneum's thickness, the state of hydration, the presence of cutaneous lesions or individual variations.

External factors may also modulate percutaneous absorption such as contact time, iontophoresis or the presence of specific adjuvants.

Which class of organisms gather their energy directly from the sun? a. autotrophs b. carnivores c. herbivores d. detritivores

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be a. autotrophs.

Autotrophs, also called producers are the organisms which are able to produce complex organic compounds such as fats, proteins and carbohydrates from simpler substances present in the environment.

They are of two types based on their source of energy:

Photoautotrophs: These are the organisms which use sunlight as the source of energy in order to produce organic compounds.

For example, green plants synthesize their own food (glucose) from carbon dioxide with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll. Oxygen is released as the byproduct. The overall process is termed as photosynthesis (photo meaning photon or light energy).

Chemoautotrophs: They get energy from electron donor compounds such as sulfur, hydrogen sulfide et cetera.

The answer A. autotrophs
