The first gap is phosphate sugar skeleton

The second gap is  nitrogenous bases .

The third gap is  nitrogenous base too, found only in RNA.


The skeleton of DNA is the phosphate-sugar succession of which each sugar bears a nitrogenous base.

Nitrogen bases are nitrogenous organic compounds present in nucleic acids in the form of nucleotides in which they are linked to a sugar.

The five main bases are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil.

A sugar-phosphate backbone (alternating grey-dark grey) joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.The two strands run in opposite directions, one going in a 3' to 5' direction and the other going in a 5' to 3' direction. The nitrogenous bases are positioned inside the helix structure like "rungs on a ladder," due to the hydrophobic effect, and stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. The others are adenine, cytosine, and guanine. In RNA, uracil binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the uracil nucleobase is replaced by thymine. Uracil is a demethylated form of thymine.

Which sentences in the passage directly involve the geosphere?
liraira [26]

Answer: 1. Maury digs a hole in the ground with a shovel and plants a sunflower seed.

2. In time, the sunflower draws water and nutrients from the soil and releases water vapor into the air through its leaves.

3.  The air also brings rainwater to the soil.

Geosphere refers to the crust and upper mental part of the earth. It represents the solid part of the earth. The following sentences in the passage directly involve the geosphere.

Maury digs a hole in the ground with a shovel and plants a sunflower seed.: Here, the ground is the part of the geosphere being impacted by the shovel to dig a hole.

In time, the sunflower draws water and nutrients from the soil and releases water vapor into the air through its leaves.: Here, the water present in the geosphere is being taken up by plants. Therefore, this sentence involves geosphere.

The air also brings rainwater to the soil. : Here, the water being evaporated from geosphere comes back in the form rain to the geosphere.

Write the formula that shows the release of energy by a molecule of ATP
Zina [86]
<span>C6H12O6+6O2-->6CO2+6H2O+ATP
 Okay so, </span><span>All living organisms respire in order to release energy from glucose. The energy released is stored as chemical energy in the form of a molecule called ATP. This molecule contains high energy bonds which, when broken down, release energy that is available for metabolic reactions within the cell. The waste products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is released to the air. :)</span>

Answer: the graph supports: background extinctions, mass extinctions affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs

The graph does not support:both mammas and dinosaur revolved in the pattern of gradualism, dinosaurs evolved by adaptive radiation, and convolution affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs

Explanation:The graph only shows mass extinctions and background extinctions
