How did the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier explain his discovery that metals roasted in the presence of atmospheric air weighed more than unroasted metals? metals were combining with hydrogen sulfide gas to form metal sulfides metals were combining with nitrogen gas to form metal nitrides metals were combining with hydrogen gas to form metal hydrides metals were combining with carbon to form metal carbides metals were combining with oxygen gas to form metal oxides
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
