What is a basic unit of fat?
A basic unit of fat is a triglyceride. It is primarily made up of a fatty acid and three glycerol molecules
What does a group of three nucleotides code for?
DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.
What are the three basic building blocks of an atom?
Protons, neutrons and electrons; protons and neutrons are composed from quarks and gluons.
The nucleotides forming DNA are composed of what three molecular components?
Both DNA and Rna are composed of, first, the sugar-phosphate backbone. The sugar is ribose and the phosphate is a PO4 (-2) moiety. Reaching laterally are the third components - the nucleotide bases.
What are the three laws of the cell theory?
The three laws of the cell theory is: 1) All living things are composed of cells 2)Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things 3)Cells are made from other existing cells
Where do nucleotides connect to each other?
Nucleotide molecules connect with each other in phosphate. Nucleotides are composed of three parts: phosphate, deoxyribose and the nitrogen base.
Where do nucleotide molecules connect to each other?
Nucleotide molecules connect with each other in phosphate. Nucleotides are composed of three parts: phosphate, deoxyribose and the nitrogen base.
What are nucleotides made up of?
Nucleotides are molecules consists of three parts-a nitrogen base, a five-carbon sugar and a phosphate group. DNA and RNA are made of the subunits called nucleotides.
What is the function nucleotide?
The nucleotides are composed of three parts: a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. The nucleotides are the storehouse of genetic information.
What atoms are in fat molecules?
Fats are composed of three molecules:OxygenHydrogenCarbon
What three materials are composed of molecules that have covalent bonds?
Glass...
What are (subunits) called -?
Nucleotides are molecules consists of three parts-a nitrogen base, a five-carbon sugar and a phosphate group. DNA and RNA are made of the subunits called nucleotides.
Fats are composed of three fatty acid molecules joined to a molecule of?
glycerol
Fat molecules are composed of which three elements?
It depends on why you mean by "fat" molecules. Lipids in general are usually composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but they can contain other elements such as phosphorous or nitrogen.
Is ammonia an atom?
No, it is a molecules composed of a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
What does it mean that DNA is a acid?
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is made of three types of molecules in equal proportions - basic nucleotides, sugar deoxyribose and acidic phosphate groups. It's the acidic part of the molecule that dominates, and that is why we know DNA as an acid.
What is the monomers that make up nucleic acid polymers?
The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. DNA nucleotides are composed of the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA nucleotides are composed of the sugar ribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.
