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.

enot [183]
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), or electron cryomicroscopy, is a form of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) where the sample is studied at cryogenic temperatures (generally liquid-nitrogen temperatures). Cryo<span>-EM is gaining popularity in structural biology.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

If you increase the number of water molecules in the extracellular fluid, will the membrane move to the right or the left in the
Igoryamba

Answer:

The membrane will move to the left in view of the applied pressure.

Explanation:

The scenario described can be perfectly illustrated through understanding the concept of osmosis.

Osmosis can be defined as the movement of particules or molecules in a solvent from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, through a semi permeable membrane.

To put differently, the movement of water molecules is from a region of lower osmotic pressure to a higher one. And for osmosis to be achieved and water molecules evenly distributed, pressure built must be slow and steady to a state of high or equilibrium.

This often results to movement of membrane to the left as a response to the osmosis phenomenon. Increasing the number of water molecules in the extra cellular fluid will thus accelerate this process, increase the pressure built up, and thus generate ripples from a lower area to a higher one. Osmosis is thus gradual and steady.
