How is nucleotide and nucleoside different?
Suppose that an automated, unmanned probe is sent into deep space to search for extraterrestrial life. After wandering for many light-years among the far reaches of the universe, this probe arrives on a distant planet and detects life. The chemical composition of life on this planet is completely different from that of life on Earth, and its genetic material is not composed of nucleic acids. What predictions can you make about the chemical properties of the genetic material on this planet?

- According to chemist John Dalton, if one mole of nitrogen is combined with three moles of hydrogen to form one mole of ammonia (knowing that nitrogen, with an atomic number of 7, has an atomic mass of 14, and hydrogen, with an atomic number of 1, has an atomic mass of 1), then this compound will have an atomic weight (or molecular mass) of: 14 grams per mole (14 daltons) 17 grams per mole (17 daltons) 20 grams per mole (20 daltons) 22 grams per mole (22 daltons) 43 grams per mole (43 daltons)arrow_forwardA) What is the difference between a nucleoside and a nucleotide? B) Give any two differences between DNA and RNA. C) Draw the structure of deoxyribose and ribose below, and number the carbons. What is the difference between the two structures? Please answer all 3 partsarrow_forwardYou have discovered a new molecule in outer space. You have never seen this type of molecule before on Earth. You analyze the composition and discover that it is made of 28% carbon atoms, 24% oxygen atoms, and 48% hydrogen atoms. You immediately decide that it is not an alien protein or an alien nucleotide. Explain why you know that the molecule cannot be a protein or a nucleotide. Do you think that the molecule is an alien fatty acid or an alien carbohydrate? Explain your decision Will your molecule be hydrophilic or hydrophobic? Explain your answer considering polarity and electronegativityarrow_forward

A) 76% B) 12% C) 24% C 38%arrow_forwardThe following define nucleic acids EXCEPT A) They are polyionic molecules of high molecular weight composed of subunits or monomers called nucleosides. B) They are chainlike macromolecules that function in the storage and transfer of genetic information. C They are polynucleotides. They contain genes that encode for polypeptides and RNAS.arrow_forwardWhy is it improbable that proteins needed for DNA structure, for example, form spontaneously from random amino acids?arrow_forward
- Human DNA contains almost twice as much information as is needed to code for all the substances produced in the body. Likewise, the digital data sent from Voyager II contained one redundant bit out of every two bits of information. The Hubble space telescope transmits three redundant bits for every bit of information. How is entropy related to the transmission of information? What do you think is accomplished by having so many redundant bits of information in both DNA and the space probes?arrow_forwardWhere do terms 5’, 3’ in nucleic acids come from?arrow_forwardWhat characteristics of carbon make possible the existence of so many different organic compounds?arrow_forward
