What energy is found between phosphates? Adenosine Triphosphate What type of bonds attach phosphates to AMP? ATP is a nucleotide consisting of an adenine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups. These three phosphate groups are linked to one another by two high-energy bonds called phosphoanhydride bonds. What do […]

Why should you always start to view an object on low power first? Why do you need to start with 4x in magnification on a microscope? The 4x objective lens has the lowest power and, therefore the highest field of view. As a result, it is easier to locate the specimen on the slide than […]

What type of soil is best for agriculture? Loam soils What is are the influence of soil texture on water movement? Soil texture and structure greatly influence water infiltration, permeability, and water-holding capacity. For example, a fine soil has smaller but more numerous pores than a coarse soil. A coarse soil has bigger particles than […]

What is the largest structure of DNA? The correct answer: According to the order from smallest to largest, the order will be: Nucleotide, Gene, DNA, Chromatin, Chromatid, Chromosome. How is the DNA organized? During DNA packaging, long pieces of double-stranded DNA are tightly looped, coiled, and folded so that they fit easily within the cell. […]

What is the source of oxygen gas released during photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct. How […]

Does water cover 75% of the earth? Viewed from space, one of the most striking features of our home planet is the water, in both liquid and frozen forms, that covers approximately 75% of the Earth’s surface. Geologic evidence suggests that large amounts of water have likely flowed on Earth for the past 3.8 billion […]

Do eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis? In particular, eukaryotic cells divide using the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is common to all eukaryotes; during this process, a parent cell splits into two genetically identical daughter cells, each of which contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. How does a eukaryotic cell […]

How does overgrazing cause soil erosion? Overgrazing is critical Overgrazing by cattle reduces plant cover, eliminating the most desirable forage species first. This opens up the land to undesirable weeds, brush, and trees and leads to increasing soil erosion and lower soil fertility. The land becomes less and less productive. What are the effects of […]

What does the egg do in the female reproductive system? When an egg pops out of an ovary, it enters the fallopian tube. Once the egg is in the fallopian tube, tiny hairs in the tube’s lining help push it down the narrow passageway toward the uterus. The ovaries are also part of the endocrine […]

Is Symbrachydactyly genetic? Symbrachydactyly is caused by bones in the hand not forming correctly before birth. It is likely caused by a lack of blood flow to the tissue. Symbrachydactyly is not inherited (it cannot be passed down through a family), but it is linked with some genetic syndromes. Is syndactyly a genetic disorder? Syndactyly […]
