Why does DNA absorb more light when it is converted into single strands?
in double stranded dna, the sugar phosphate backbone forms the the outside of the double helix and the information is found within (the complementary base pairs). When you heat up double stranded DNA, the DNA begins to unwind. The increases in temperature breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs and they now have become "unstacked" / exposed = (single stranded DNA). This allows the the single stranded DNA to absorb more light.
Who discovered that the sugar phosphate backbone of DNA lies on the outside of the molecule and has a helical shape?
James Watson and Francis Crick, 1953
Are the organs of the upper respiratory tract located outside the thorax?
yes. In the head and neck.
Where are the ring systems located on giant planets?
On the outside of it outside of it's atmosphere
Why are the outside heads of phospholipids located on the outside of the cell membrane?
Tails are Hydrophobic
What makes up the outside of the dna ladder?
The sugar phosphate backbone.
Does a tick have a backbone?
No. Ticks have exoskeletons. The support for their muscles is on the outside of the body.
What is an unsatured fat?
A fat molecule is made of a chain of carbon atoms making a "backbone" and a bunch of hydrogens along the outside. In a saturated fat, the carbon backbone has the maximum number of hydrogens it can accept. In an unsaturated fat, the carbon backbone has made one or more double bonds within the backbone and so have less than the maximum number of hydrogens around the outside.
Do houseflies have backbones?
Since flies are insects, they do not have a backbone. They have an exoskeleton instead which is only on the outside.
What insects have a back bone?
There are no insects with a backbone because they are not vertabrates. They are in the category of invertabrates. The outside of an insect is hard, because they have an exoskeleton, which means that they have their skeleton on the outside, not the inside.
Is a barnacle a vertebrates?
Barnacles are invertebrates because their shells are outside of their body - they do not have an internal skeleton with a backbone.
Are spiders invertibrates?
Even though they have an exoskeleton ( a skeleton on the outside ) they DON'T have a backbone. So yes, they ARE invertabrates.
Is a barnacle a vertebrates invertebrates?
Barnacles are invertebrates because their shells are outside of their body - they do not have an internal skeleton with a backbone.
What is located outside the bones?
what it located outside the bone is nerves and blood vessels

What particles are located inside the nucleus and what is located outside the nucleus?
Neutrons and protons are located inside the nucleus and electrons are located outside.
Do ant have backbone?
No they do not have backbones.They have outer coverings like us,humans.
