Is phosphodiester bonds used to link nucleotides?
Yes, phosphodiester bonds are used to link nucleotides in a nucleic acid molecule, forming the sugar-phosphate backbone. These bonds connect the 3' carbon of one nucleotide's sugar group to the 5' carbon of the next nucleotide in the chain.
What element must a compound contain to be organic?
Well really Organic Chemistry is concerned with compounds containing Carbon.
What does the 5 and 3 mean in DNA?
In DNA, the numbers 5 and 3 refer to the carbon atoms in the sugar molecule of the DNA backbone. The 5 carbon is where the phosphate group attaches, and the 3 carbon is where the next nucleotide is added during DNA replication.
What is the significance of the 3 prime carbon in the structure of nucleic acids?
The 3' carbon in nucleic acids is significant because it is where the next nucleotide is added during DNA or RNA synthesis. This carbon forms a bond with the phosphate group of the incoming nucleotide, allowing for the formation of a continuous chain of nucleotides.
Is the backbone of nucleic acid structure is 3'-5' phosphodiester bridge?
No, the backbone of nucleic acids is formed by a series of phosphodiester linkages between the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the 5' carbon of the next nucleotide. This forms a sugar-phosphate backbone that provides stability to the molecule.
Is the earths atmosphere mostly made up of carbon dioxde?
No, the earth's atmosphere consists primarily of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and 1% argon. CO2 is next at about 0.035%, then neon, helium, methane, krypton, and hydrogen.
How does carbon cycle in Earths system?
The carbon cycle is when plants convert carbon dioxide, CO2, from the atmosphere into carbohydrates, such as glucose, C6H12O6. Then, organisms eat the plants and obtain the carbon from the carbohydrates. Next, organisms' bodies break down the carbohydrates and release some of the carbon back into the air as CO2.
How does the temperature changes as you travel through earths atmosphere?
It changes to a next temperture
From Earth atmosphere where can the carbon atom go next?
From the Earth's atmosphere, a carbon atom can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, where it becomes part of organic compounds. It can also dissolve in oceans, contributing to carbonic acid formation or be used by marine organisms to create shells. Additionally, carbon can be released back into the atmosphere through processes like respiration, combustion, or decomposition. Ultimately, it may enter long-term storage in fossil fuels or sedimentary rocks over geological time scales.
What is adjacent atom and bond?
An adjacent atom is an atom that is directly connected to another atom in a molecule through a chemical bond. A bond is a strong attractive force between atoms that holds them together in a molecule. Bonds can be single, double, or triple depending on the number of shared electrons between the atoms.
What is the most prevalent atom in air?
I assume you mean which air molecule makes up the largest percentage in the Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere at our (liveable) level, and next is oxygen at about 21%. The other 1% is composed of carbon dioxide, argon and other gases.
Why is carbon monoxide not written as CM?
When writing the chemical formula of a substance you write the symbol of each element and next to the symbol you write the number of atoms of that element there are in the molecule. The number is written in subscript. However, do not write a number next to the element if there is only one atom of it in the substance. A carbon monoxide molecule contains one carbon atom (symbol: C) and one atom of oxygen (symbol: O), and so the formula is CO. The mon- in monoxide merely means that there is one oxygen atom in the molecule. It cannot be called carbon oxide because there is also carbon dioxide (CO2) which has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
What are alpha and beta carbon atom?
The alpha carbon in organic chemistry refers to the first carbon that attaches to a functional group (the carbon is attached at the first, or alpha, position).[1] By extension, the second carbon is the beta carbon,[2] and so on.
In carbon dioxide what element is combined with carbon?
Oxygen.The C in CO2 stands for Carbon, the O for oxygen and the 2 to say that there are two oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule. If there is no 2 or 3 or whatever next to the representation of the atom, this means that there is only one of that atom in the molecule
What is the differences between a carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
Carbon dioxide is made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Carbon monoxide is made up of 1 carbon atom and 1 oxygen atom. Carbon monoxide is flammable whereas carbon dioxide is used to extinguish fires.
What is the most common element found in earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen is the most common element found in Earth's atmosphere, making up about 78% of the air we breathe. Oxygen is the next most abundant element in Earth's atmosphere, making up about 21%.
Which planet has a thin atmosphere besides Mercury?
Mars has the next thinnest atmosphere, a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Although thin, it's much more substantial than anything mercury has got in the way of surface pressure.
