Do weak acids and bases react more easily been strong acids and bases?

No, the other way around would be correct


How many bases are needed to make 3 amino acids?

To make 3 amino acids, you would need at least 9 bases. This is because each amino acid is encoded by a sequence of 3 bases called a codon. So, 3 amino acids would require 3 codons, which would be 9 bases in total.


If there are three amino acids how many bases would there be on the M RNA to make these three?

Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotide bases in mRNA, known as a codon. Therefore, to encode three amino acids, there would need to be a total of nine nucleotide bases in the mRNA (3 amino acids x 3 bases per amino acid = 9 bases).


Are all acid and bases harmful?

Bases, I'm not sure. But all acids I would say are, seeing as they are corrosive.


Why can't you store acids and bases together?

Storing acids and bases together can result in a chemical reaction that produces heat, gases, or even explosions. This can lead to dangerous situations and can harm individuals handling the chemicals. It is important to store acids and bases separately to prevent accidental reactions.


Are acids slipper?

I would say you are asking if acid is slippery. Bases have a denaturing effect on proteins that makes them slippery. If you touch bases, like drano or soap, you would find them slippery. Acids simply feel like water.


The first person to define an acid and base in chemical terms was?

The first person to categorize acids and bases in chemical terms would be Danish chemist, Soren Peder Lauritz Sorensen, and he did so in 1909. Sorensen was first to introduce the concept of pH, the scale of measure for acidity and basicity.


How many amino acids are produced by the segment of DNA that has 21 bases?

A segment of DNA with 21 bases would encode for a polypeptide with 7 amino acids. This is because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three bases, called a codon. Therefore, 21 bases would be translated into 7 codons, each specifying an amino acid.


How many codons are neede to specify two amino acids?

In order to create two amino acids, you would need two codons, which is 6 bases (Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, or Cytosine) because a codon is a group of three bases.


How many bases does a gene coding for a polypeptide made of 51 amino acids have?

A gene coding for a polypeptide made of 51 amino acids would have (51 \times 3 = 153) bases. Each amino acid is coded by a sequence of three nucleotide bases in mRNA called a codon. So, the number of bases required to code for a polypeptide can be calculated by multiplying the number of amino acids by 3.


A protein contains 131 amino acids How many bases will there be on the mRNA strand corresponding to these amino acids and how do you know?

There would be 393 bases on the mRNA strand corresponding to 131 amino acids, as each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three bases (1 codon). By multiplying the number of amino acids by 3, you can determine the total number of bases required to encode the protein sequence on mRNA.


What is the opposite of an acid?

The chemical opposite is a base (alkaline substance). Bases and acids generally neutralize each other. The literal opposite of an acid would be a neutral substance that had no reaction potential. This would differ for different reactions.
