An acid has a has a sour taste, will corrode metal,burn skin and will change litmus paper red.
A base has slippery feel, changes a red litmus blue and becomes less basic when mixed with an acid.it forms salt and water in reaction with an acid.

What are the three Acid Base Theories?
Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis theories of acids and bases
What are the different types of Indicators for acids and Alkali's?
phenolphthalein in in case of strong base methyl orange in case of weak base
Is flour a base or acids?
It is a base
How are pH acids and bases different?
If it is an acid, the pH is 6 and lower. If it is a base, the pH is 8 and higher.
What are the differences in acids and bases?
Acids is a substance that has the following properties. *Acids have sour taste. *Acids cause color changes in plant dyes * Acids react with certain metals,such as Zinc,Aluminum,and Magnesium, to produce hydrogen gas. Base have a bitter taste. Base feel slippery. Base react with acids to produce salts and water. Base are corrosive.
How many amino acids are there if you have 1500 base pairs?
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
If each triplet of nitrogenous bases three bases on DNA codes for a specific amino acid how many amino acids will your original DNA model code for?
There are 64 different triplet combinations of base pairs, which code for 22 different amino acids.
When the four DNA bases are combined in different three base sequences different what of protein are called for?
Amino Acids? I'm not positive but I'm working on the packet and have the same question.
What are the three common base-pair substitutions?
biology,acids and bases
What do acids and bases have together?
They reacting with other.Reactions are different to acids and bases.
When the four DNA bases are combined in different three base sequences what's the difference of the protein?
Amino Acids? I'm not positive but I'm working on the packet and have the same question.
If you change a single base in a codon then?
The codon could code for a different animo acids.

How are pH acids and bases different?
If it is an acid, the pH is 6 and lower. If it is a base, the pH is 8 and higher.
How are acids and salts alike and different?
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base (a neutralization reaction).
