<span>The water plants contain DDT or dichlor-diphenyl-tricloroehane was developed in the 1940s as an insecticide. Because of its availability, it is inexpensive, has a high rate of longevity and can readily be produced that is why it is mostly used as the main ingredient. However, the manufacturing of this product has stopped due to the effects that it has on humans and other organisms. It can accumulate in plants and can destroy fatty tissues in organisms.</span>

This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was changed into simple sugars

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consist of many glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Starch will change color to an intense "blue-black" colour after the addition of aqueous solutions of the triiodide anion. To do it we can add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour The reaction between amylose that present in lesser amounts and iodine is said to account for the intense color change seen.

An iodine test of a tomato plant leaf revealed that starch was present at 5:00 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in July. When a similar leaf from the same tomato plant was tested with iodine at 6:00 am the next morning, the test indicates that less starch was present in this leaf than in the leaf tested the day before. This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was

  • 1. changed directly into proteins
  • 2. transported out of the leaves through the guard cells
  • 3. transported downward toward the roots through tubes
  • 4. changed into simple sugars

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the keys words in the question provides an idea of what the completed question is.

There are two types of nucleic acid; ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

They are both made up of ribose/pentose sugar, nitrogenous base and phosphate group.

The ribose sugar of the DNA is one oxygen less than the ribose sugar of the RNA hence the reason for the name "deoxyribose".

There are five nitrogenous bases namely; adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. They both contain adenine, guanine and cytosine; however, the DNA contains thymine while the RNA contains uracil. Of the five bases, adenine and guanine are the purines (have a double ring structure) while the rest are pyrimidines (have a single ring structure).

The phosphate group here is negatively charged
