almost 100,000

Question 5

function of enzymes

Answer 5

promote all oxidative reactions that supply energy to the cell along with synthesis of all cell chemicals like lipids, glycogen and adenosine triphosphate.

Question 6

component involved in the formation of DNA

Answer 6

1. deoxyribose sugar, 2. phosphoric acid 3. nitrogenous bases.

Question 7

purines and pyrimidine

Answer 7

adenine, guanine and thymine, cytosine.

Question 8

structure of DNA

Answer 8

phosphoric acid and deoxyribose sugar form to helical strands that make up the back bone and the nitrogenous base lie between the 2strands and connect them

Question 9

nucleotide

Answer 9

combination of one molecule of phosphoric acid, deoxyribose sugar and one of the 4 nitrogenous base form an acidic nucleotide
