Multiple choice biochemical polymers polymerisation chemistry

A nucleotide consists of

  1. carbon sugar

  2. nitrogen containing base

  3. phosphoric acid

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A nucleotide is made up of the following
Sugar ring, base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine/uracil), phosphate molecule.
The sugar ring is made up of carbon atoms. The bases are nitrogenous. So, all of these are true.

Multiple choice biochemical polymers polymerisation chemistry

The replication of DNA can be catalyzed by:

  1. protein

  2. enzyme

  3. bacteria

  4. metal atom
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The replication of $DNA$ can catalyzed by an enzyme. Many enzymes are involved during this process such as DNA helicase, DNA ligase, DNA polymerase etc. Each enzyme has a specific function during replication.

Emperical formula of glucose is 

  1. ${C _6}{H _{12}}{O _6}$
  2. $\;{C _3}{H _6}{O _3}\;$
  3. $\;{C _2}{H _4}O\;\;\;\;$
  4. $C{H _2}O$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound. For glucose (C6H12O6), the ratio of C:H:O is 1:2:1, resulting in CH2O.
