A student wants to modify model 1: Of the following possible changes, which would be most effective in making model 1 look more like RNA than DNA
Changing the dexoyriboses to riboses by adding -OH groups
Figure 1: Four different bonds (W,X,Y,Z): Which of the four labeled bonds in Figure 1 could be broken to remove and replace the cytosine nucleotide without affecting the biological information coded in the DNA molecule?
Bonds Y and Z at the same time
Figure 1 Molecule 1 represents RNA, molecule 2 DNA: Which of the following best describes a structural similarity between the two molecules shown in Figure 1 that is relevant to their function?
Both molecules contain nucleotides that form base pairs with other nucleotides which allowed each molecule to act as a template in the synthesis of other nucleic acid molecules
A study determined the effect of two different digestive enzymes... Based on Figure 1, which of the following best compares the atomic structures of starch and cellulose
Starch and cellulose are composed of repeating glucose monomers; however, in cellulose every other glucose monomer is rotated 180 degrees
Based on the information provided, which of the following statements best describes the by starch and cellulose provide different functions in plants?
The differences in the assembly and organization of the monomers of these two polymers result in different chemical properties
Figure 1: a short segment of double stranded nucleic acid molecule: Which of the following statements is correct about the molecule shown in Figure 1?
it is DNA because the nucleotides present
Which of the following is a common feature of the illustrated reaction showing the link of monomers to form macromolecules?
monomers are joined by a covalent bond and water is produced
which of the following best describes the process that adds a monosaccharide to an existing polysaccharide?
a specific enzyme removes the hydrogen from the monosaccharide and the hydroxide from the polysaccharide, creating a bond between the two and creating a water molecule
Which statement describes how water is pulled up through the xylem to the leaves of the plant?
as water exits the leaf, hydrogen bonding between water molecules pulls more water up from below
Which of the following would most likely occur if cattle lost the ability to maintain a colony of microorganisms in their digestive tract?
cattle would no longer be able to use cellulose as a primary source of glucose
Which of the following describes a key difference among 20 amino acids hat are used to make proteins?
some amino acids are hydrophobic
Figure 1 and Figure 2 of polypeptide chains: How might the change affect the structure and function of the protein?
the R group of the new amino acid, valine, has different chemical properties than the R group of cysteine. This will cause the protein to misfold and not function properly in the cell
As shown in Figure 1, an amino acid must have which of the following properties in order to be incorporated into a polypeptide
the ability to form a covalent bond with both its NH2 group and COOH group
Based on the figure, which statement best describes the observed relationship between atmospheric CO2 enrichment and plant growth under ideal and stressed conditions?
the increase in atmospheric CO2 resulted in a greater increase in plant growth under stressed conditions than under ideal conditions
Which feature of model 1 best illuminates how biological information is coded in a DNA molecule?
the linear sequence of the base pairs
Which of the following is most likely the reason for the difference in lead growth?
the phosphorus starved plant was unable to synthesize both the required nucleic acids and lipids, limiting growth
Which of the following best describes how the structure of ice benefits the organisms that live in the water below?
the water molecules in ice are farther apart than those in liquid water, so the ice floats, maintaining the warmer, denser water at the bottom of the lake
