The backbone is actually a collection of spinal vertebrae, each connected to each other with a fibrous disk. On the top end, the spinal vertebrae are connected to the cervical (neck) vertebrae and then to the base of the skull. On the lower end the spinal vertebrae connect to the coccyx or tailbone which is essentially 5 fused spinal vertebrae and the central part of the pelvis (hip bone). The lower portion of the spine called the lumbar region does not connect to any additional bones. In the upper portion of the spine called the thoracic region each vertebrae also connects to two ribs. Other than connecting to additional bones, there are numerous muscles, tendons, and blood vessels that also connect to the spine. Other than the structural and limited movement role of the spine, it also serves as a vital protective role for the spinal cord which leads to all the peripheral nerves of the body.

Which bone is attached to the backbone?
These are called vertabrae (singular = vertabra)
What atoms are attached to the carbon backbone and determine the molecule's function within the cell?
Functional groups are such atoms.
What is the sugar phosphate supporting structure of the DNA double helix called?
The sugar-phosphate supporting structure of the DNA double helix is called the backbone. This is why the DNA is commonly referred to as a double helix.
Which molecule of the Dna upright is the nucleotide rung attached to?
The nucleotide 'rung' covalently attaches [chemically bonds] to the Ribose sugar moiety of the Dna's phosphate-sugar backbone.
Ribs are attached anteriorly to?
They are atached to your spine and they make a cage around your organe-to protect them & cover them.
Do invertebrates musclesattach to the backbone?
Invertebrates have no backbone, muscles are attached to outer shell.
What are the structures of a phospholipid?
Glycerol backbone, with fatty acids attached to C1 and C2 and a phosphate attached at the last carbon. Attached to it is a base or an alcohol.
How is triglycerid formed?
When 3 fatty acids are attached to a glycerol backbone.
Which part is attached to backbone?
There are many,skull,ribs,sacrum,clavicle
Are amino acids attached to a glycerol backbone?
A 3 carbon chain .
What are nucleotides attached to?
Nucleotides are attached to each other through a sugar-phosphate backbone. The phosphate group of one nucleotide is attached to the sugar molecule of another nucleotide, forming a chain. Additionally, nucleotides are also attached to nitrogenous bases, such as adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine (in case of DNA) or uracil (in case of RNA).
Which bone is attached to the backbone?
These are called vertabrae (singular = vertabra)
What atoms are attached to the carbon backbone and determine the molecule's function within the cell?
Functional groups are such atoms.
How did Eli walk with God?
he seperated his flesh from the soul thats attached to your backbone and walked the straight way
What is structure of DNA?
DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone.
What is the 3-carbon backbone of a fat?
the glycerol is attached to 3 fatty acids
What elements makes the backbone of DNA molecules?
A sugar phosphate group called deoxyribose attached to a nitrogenous base.
