Are Single stranded DNA molecules are said to be antiparallel when they lined up next to each other but oriented in opposite directions?
Yes. Technically they need to be two individual strands of a double-stranded molecule and not single-stranded molecules in order to be called antiparallel.
Distinguish between a saturated and an unsaturated fat and list some unique emergent properties that are a consequence of these structural differences?
A fat is saturated when all of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains are bonded to at least two hydrogens. A fat is unsaturated when there is at least one double bond between carbons in the fatty acid chains, and it is polyunsaturated when there are multiple double bonds. The hydrocarbon chains of polyunsaturated fats bend at the places where there are double bonds and this causes them to have low melting points - the fat molecules do not align close together.
What are 2 key molecules that help to control and coordinate cell division?
The key molecules that control and coordinate cell division are called CDK and Cyclin.
Each molecule of DNA is called What?
the whole strand is called a double helix a individual molecule made up of... a sugar a phosphate a base is called necleotide.
The inner mitochondrial membrane lacks cholesterol how does it solve the problem of regulating membrane fluidity?
Inner mitochondrial membrane lacks cholesterol so it should crystallize at physiological temperature. But it tackles with this problem by the phospholipid molecules in this membrane. The fatty acid chains of these molecules have more double bonds. These bonds help in maintaining the fluidity of the membrane
DNA exists as two long chains of molecules twisted around each other in a structure called a?
double helix ramon c.
How does a single DNA molecule produce two identical molecules?
Two single chains bond together. The bonded chains twist together to form a double helix.
What are molecules that have alternating single and double bonds are called?
These are molecules in a conjugated system.
Double helix is made of molecules called?
nucleotides!
What is unique about carbons?
Carbon is unique because it can form four bonds, allowing it to act as the backbone for many molecules, and also because of the many structures it can form (rings, linear chains, double-bonded chains, triple-bonded chains, flat sheets, and buckminsterfullerene.
Are Single stranded DNA molecules are said to be antiparallel when they lined up next to each other but oriented in opposite directions?
Yes. Technically they need to be two individual strands of a double-stranded molecule and not single-stranded molecules in order to be called antiparallel.
Molecules consisting of only carbon and hydrogen are called?
A hydrocarbon with a double bond
What are fats called at room temperature when they are solid?
the presence of double boned carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains and the degree of packing of fatty acid chains.
What does carbon form many compound and what is this property called?
Carbon can form complex molecules because of its ability to form many bonds. Carbon in a neutral species has four single bonds, two double bonds, one triple and one single bond, or one double and two single bonds. Due to this extensive boding, carbon can form large molecules and even chains tens of thousands of atoms long (polymers).
One reason DNA chains twist into a double helix is for the purpose of?

Do nucleotides form polymers?
Individual nucleotide monomers (single units) are linked together to form polymers, or long chains. so yes nucleotides do form polymers
