 13.Each DNA strand will have a complementary strand. What is the sequence that complements the strand GCTAGATC? How many H-bonds allow this structure to maintain its integrity and shape?

answers:

The base pairs on one strand of the DNA bind with the base pairs of the other strand specifically. A always pairs with T with two hydrogen bonds and G always pairs with C with three hydrogen bonds. So if one strand is GCTAGATC then the complementary strand will be CGATCTAG . 


TOTAL HYDROGEN BONDS PRESENT IN ABOVE STRAND IS = 3+3+2+2+3+2+2+3=20

  2.Compare the functions of starch and glycogen with a note about their different linkages. answers:  Difference between Starch, and Glycogen The table below shows the main differences between starch, cellulose and glycogen. Starch Glycogen It is a polymer of 𝜶-glucose subunits It is a polymer of 𝜶-glucose subunits It contains two types of polymers, amylose (unbranched and coiled) and amylopectin (branched) It is highly branched and similar to amylopectin The 𝜶-glucose subunits are joined by 1,4 glycosidic bonds in amylose and 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds in amylopectin The 𝜶-glucose subunits are joined by 1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds Amylose is unbranched and amylopectin is branched It is highly branched It is the main storage carbohydrate in plants It is the main storage carbohydrate in animals and fungi Structure of Starch Starch is the main storage carbohydrate of plants. It is made up of 𝜶-glucose subunits. It contains two types of polymers, amylose and amylopectin....

What is the role of Platelets in Homeostasis? Describe about the Bleeding Disorders.

What is the role of Platelets in Hemostasis? Describe the Bleeding Disorders.  Introduction Hemostasis is the physiological process that stops bleeding at the site of an injury while maintaining blood in a fluid state within the vascular system. It is a critical mechanism that involves several steps to prevent excessive blood loss and to repair damaged blood vessels. Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, play a pivotal role in hemostasis. They are small, anucleate cell fragments that originate from the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Platelets circulate in the blood and are essential for the repair of damaged blood vessels. Role of Platelets in Hemostasis Platelets contribute to hemostasis through several key functions: 1. Adhesion: Platelets adhere to the exposed collagen fibers at the site of vascular injury, forming the initial platelet plug. 2. Activation: Upon adhesion, platelets become activated and change shape, releasing granules that contain substances n...

4. Elaborate on the form and function of the modified leaves of the plants. answer: Leaves: Morphology, Types & Modification Plants are an essential part of the ecosystem. Every life on the earth is directly or indirectly dependent on plants. Among the different parts of a plant, the leaf is the most essential. Primarily, leaves have two functions: photosynthesis and transpiration. In some plants, it takes up the responsibility of reproduction also. Table of Contents Structure Types Modification Function Key Points Let’s learn more about the morphology of leaves, parts of a leaf, different types of leaves and their modifications. Structure of a Leaf Leaves are thin, flat organs responsible for photosynthesis in the plants. It develops laterally at the node. It is an important part of the shoot system and it originates from shoot apical meristems. The structure of a leaf is described below in detail : Parts of a Leaf Generally, leaf base, petiole, and lamina, together form the m...
