Do you need acids and bases to survive?
Yes.
Why do you study acids and bases?
because we need it
Why must bases be grouped in triplents in order to represent amino acids?
Because to make up a codon you need to have amino acids which consist of three bases.
Are pawn shops trustworthy?
For the most part, yes, although you do need to be careful when dealing with them.
What is the relationship between the order of bases in DNA and the order of amino acids in the final protein?
Amino acids are fundamental in your DNA. You need them to make DNA. You need them to be alive. Amino acids bind together in a special combination that your body needs to make more.
How many bases are needed to make 3 amino acids?
One codon is 3 bases long - this codes for one amino acid. Therefore you would need 9 bases (3 codons) to make 3 amino acids.
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 can acids and bases identified?
for one never taste it but, you will need an acid-base indicator to identify it...you can thank me later
Why many drugs are weak acids and weak bases?
This is necessary because drugs need to be able to pass through cell membranes ( that's exclude strong acids and bases) and dissolve in the stomach and blood ( that's favor acids and bases). If a compound is too basic or acidic, it won't be able to cross the cell membranes and leave the digestive tract; if it's not acidic or basic at all, it won't dissolve well in the blood so it won't be carried efficiently throughout the body. If you want to get a little more into the chemistry of it, acids and bases gain and lose protons, which gives them ionic charges. Charged particles dissolve well in water, so acids and bases dissolve well. Charged particles can't pass throu...gh layers of uncharged molecules like those that make up the cell membrane, though. Weak acids and bases have the advantage that they're sometimes in their ionized state and sometimes in their unionized state, so they can dissolve, get through the cell membrane and then re-dissolve in the blood.
How many amino acid sequences can be made from four amino acids?
There are 20 common amino acids (pre-modification). In a set of any four, each one could be one of 20, meaning there are 204 possible combinations: 160,000. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 triplet codons then the answer would still be exactly the same. Even though there are 4 bases, meaning there are 64 different codes possible, there are still only 20 amino acids available. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 bases" you can only make one (which could be any of 20 different residues), as you need three bases to code one amino acid. See the related question below for a listing of the types of amino acids.
Why is knowledge of acids and bases important to the study of biology?
Well biology has to do with the study of life, right? Well acid rain and bases effect different animals in different ways. SO if your going to study about life you need to know how acid rain effects it.
A certain protein is made up of 100 amino acids What is the smallest number of bases in the messenger RNA molecule that is needed to carry the code for the synthesis of this protein?
for mRNA, it takes 3 bases (A codon) to signal that a specific amino acid should be used. In this case you would need 100x3 = 300 bases.
