(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The chemical formulas for the ribose and Deoxyribose sugars have to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Concept of Nucleic acids:

  • • Nucleic acids are biopolymers that are essential to all forms of life.
  • • The nucleic acid is composed of nucleotides.
  • • The nucleotides are composed of monomers.
  • • The monomers are made of three components such as 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
  • • The 5-carbon sugar can be ribose or deoxyribose sugar.
  • • If the 5-carbon sugar is a ribose unit, then the overall nucleic acid is known as ribose nucleic acid which is abbreviated as RNA.
  • • If the 5-carbon sugar is a deoxyribose unit, then the overall nucleic acid is known as deoxyribose nucleic acid which is abbreviated as DNA.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas of the ribose and deoxyribose sugars have to be differentiated.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the given ribose and deoxyribose formulas fit with the given formula pattern of carbohydrate or not has to be found.

Carbohydrates are the sugars that are found in the basic food and provide energy to the human bond to perform various works.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: In the ribose and deoxyribose sugar units, the atoms that would form hydrogen bonds with water or other nucleic acids are to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrogen bonding:

  • • Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction in a polar bond which has hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom such as Nitrogen, Oxygen and Fluorine.
  • • Hydrogen bonding can also be defined as coulombic attraction between the hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.

QUESTION Liquid A is known to have a lower viscosity and lower surface tension than Liquid B. Use these facts to predict the result of each experiment in the table below, if you can. experiment Liquid A and Liquid B are each pumped through tubes with an inside diameter of 27.0 mm, and the pressures PA and PB needed to produce a steady flow of 2.4 mL/s are measured. 25.0 mL of Liquid A are poured into a beaker, and 25.0 mL of Liquid B are poured into an identical beaker. Stirrers in each beaker are connected to motors, and the forces FA and FB needed to stir each liquid at a constant rate are measured. predicted outcome OPA will be greater than PB OPA will be less than PB OPA will be equal to PB It's impossible to predict whether PA or PB will be greater without more information.…
