 11. Examine these two monosaccharides and answer the following questions.

  1. Which monosaccharide is found in DNA, and which is found in RNA?
  2. Circle the key difference that distinguishes between the two monosaccharides.
  3. Use arrows to point to the areas where other groups bond to make them into nucleotides
answers: 

A. Which monosaccharide is found in DNA, and which is found in RNA?

Ribose is used in RNA and deoxyribose is used in DNA.

B. Circle the key difference that distinguishes between the two monosaccharides.

The difference between glucose and fructose is as follows:-

Glucose

Fructose

It is a six-membered ring.It is a five-membered ring
It is an aldohexose sugar.It is a type of sugar called ketohexose.
It is also referred to as grape sugar or blood sugar.It is also referred to as fruit sugar.
A pyranose ring structure is formed.A furan ring structure is formed.

The open structure of glucose is as follows:-

The open structure of fructose is as follows:-

Cyclic structure of glucose

Cyclic structure of fructose


C. Use arrows to point to the areas where other groups  bond to make them into nucleotides.

A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). In RNA, the base uracil (U) takes the place of thymine. DNA and RNA molecules are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides.

  5. Tabulate the unique and common features for both plant and animal cells.  answer : Difference Between Plant cell and Animal cell The cell is the fundamental unit of life. All the life activities are carried out by cells. The organisms can be classified based on the number of cells present in them. Unicellular organisms are single-celled, while multicellular organisms have a large number of cells. Unicellular organisms are believed to be one of the earliest forms of life on earth. Eventually, more complex multicellular organisms evolved from these unicellular life forms over the aeons. Multicellular organisms have specialized cells with complicated cell organelles, which unicellular organisms typically lack. In an ecosystem, plants have the role of producers, while animals have taken the role of consumers. Hence, their daily activities and functions vary, and so does their cell structure. Cell structure and organelles vary in plants and animals, and are primarily classified based o

1.In glycolysis, there are energy feeder and harvesting steps and discuss which of the steps for high energy feeding steps and which of the steps for high energy-producing steps with proper metabolic steps. answers: First Half of Glycolysis (Energy-Requiring Steps) In the first half of glycolysis, two adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules are used in the phosphorylation of glucose, which is then split into two three-carbon molecules as described in the following steps. Figure  7.5. 1 7.5. 1 : The first half of glycolysis: investment: The first half of glycolysis uses two ATP molecules in the phosphorylation of glucose, which is then split into two three-carbon molecules. Step 1. The first step in glycolysis is catalyzed by hexokinase, an enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of six-carbon sugars. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ATP as the source of the phosphate, producing glucose-6-phosphate, a more reactive form of glucose. This reaction prevents t
