Answer:

adenine pairs with Thymine  and guanine always pairs with cytosine respectively

Explanation:

In DNA nucleotide subunits, there are four nitrogenous bases:

  •    Adenine (A)
  •    Thymine (T)
  •    Cytosine (C)
  •    Guanine (G)

Each of these bases can be divided into two categories: purine bases and pyrimidine bases.

Adenine and guanine are examples of purine bases. This means their structure is a nitrogen-containing six atom ring joined with a nitrogen-containing five atom ring that share two atoms to combine the two rings.

Thymine and cytosine are examples of pyrimidine bases.

Note that  RNA replaces thymine with a different pyrimidine base called uracil (U).

The complementary base pairing rule, Chargaff's rule states that DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G). A purine always pairs with a pyrimidine and vice versa. However, A doesn't pair with C, despite that being a purine and a pyrimidine.

Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

75 J

Energy is neither related nor destroyed- it's simply converted to different forms. Forces are vectors with both mass and acceleration; they are interactions that have the ability to change an object's motion. As objects move, their potential energy (apprx 100 J) is converted to kinetic energy. However, friction a resistive force, which is formed from the conversion of an object's kinetic energy into heat energy, as two surfaces move along each other.

With the reduction of friction, the energy output should increase, as less energy is lost as heat. Thus, the output should be 75 J.

Match the creature to its distribution pattern.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct match would be:

  • Swallow - migration
  • Tiger - sparse distribution—scarce
  • Devil’s Hole pupfish - local endemic
  • Humpback whale - sparse distribution—widely dispersed

Swallows are small migratory birds belonging to the family Hirundinidae found all around the world. Migrating swallows can cover around 200 miles in a day.

Tiger has become endangered species due to excessive hunting and habitat loss. It is estimated that only 3800 tigers are left in the wild.

Devil’s Hole pupfish is a species of a fish only found in Devils Hole which is a  geothermal aquifer-fed pool located in Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge  in Nevada city of the United States

The humpback whale or <em>Megaptera novaeangliae</em> is a species of baleen whale which is widely distributed in all major oceans including Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans.

ATP is produced via 3 main ways. This being Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and ETC or Electron Transport Chain. However Cynanide binds to something called the cytochrome C oxidase, which is part of the ETC, which means the ETC no longer produces the ATP required for the cell. Therefor your body can't produce the energy u need and you die.

Drag each tile to the correct box. The flu vaccine activates adaptive immunity. How does this occur? Antibodies are quickly prod
mestny [16]

Answer:

The correct order would be:

A vaccine introduces a weakened flu virus into the body.

                                                        ↓

The immune system identifies antigens on the weakened flu virus.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are produced, which bind to the weakened flu virus and signal immune cells to destroy it.

                                                        ↓

The actual flu virus enters the body, and lymphocytes recognize the antigens.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are quickly produced and allow the body to fight off the infection.

Vaccination or immunization is the process which helps in developing the immunity (adaptive) against a particular pathogen or microorganism.

It includes the administration of antigen, weakened or heat-killed microorganism (such as flu virus) into the patients body. Body's immune system produces naive B and T cells to eliminate the antigen.

This encounter enables the immune system to produce memory B and T cells against that particular pathogen.

In future, whenever the same antigen enters the body, the immune system gets activated quickly due to the presence of memory cells. It enables the body to produce more effective secondary response against the pathogen.
