ATP is the energy currency of the cell as it acts as a donor of high energy phosphate. It also acts as a chemical link between catabolism and anabolism. In its active form ATP is complexed with Mg2+ or Mn2+.
The primary structure of DNA and RNA proceeds in which direction?
A.
3’ —–> 5҆’
B.
5’ —–> 3’
C.
4’ —–> 6’
D.
3’ —–> 6’
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The primary structure is described by the order in which bases occur in a polypeptide. The convention is to arrange them from left to right from 5’ end to 3’ end. 5’ end of the polypeptide is attached to phosphate while 3’ end is usually a free hydroxyl group.
Which bond is used to stabilize the double helix of DNA?
A.
Hydrophobic bond
B.
Hydrogen bond
C.
Covalent bond
D.
Ionic bond
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Polynucleotide runs on the backbone of the phosphate-sugar chain. The base pairing of these nucleotide gives secondary structure. The secondary structure of DNA is its double helix which held together by hydrogen bonding between the bases.
