Answer:

Explanation:

Lipids are made of very long carbon chains connected to other carbons and hydrogen. These chairs can be connected to another molecule such as glycerol. Examples of lipids are triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipid that differ in the length of their chains and also the number of double bonds in these chains. These chains - that are the main characteristic that defines lipids - are hydrophobic.

Single strands of nucleic acids are directional, meaning that there are two different ends. What functional groups define the tw

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.

Explanation:

Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.
