Moreover, some of the most complex molecules within life forms contain carbon bonded to other elements, such as oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. For this reason, life on Earth is known as carbon-based, or life that contains building blocks made up of combinations of carbon and other elements...

Human body parts and their functions can be best understood by understanding the organization of the body. All living things are made of six main elements: Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur These elements create molecules that create the basic structures of the body. The body is hi...
The building block, or monomer, of all nucleic acids is a structure called a nucleotide. A nucleotide has three parts: phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogen base.There are four different nucleotides that make up a DNA molecule, each differing only in the type of nitrogenous base. ...
phosphate group varies from molecule to molecule; for example, it can be phosphatidylcholine, a which includes a nitrogen-containing component. It is hydrophilic because it has an uneven distribution of charge (i.e., is polar), just like water, so the two "get along" in close microscopic ...
The silica evidently reduced absorption of carbohydrates and nitrogen. Perhaps then, phytoliths deter by reducing nutrient uptake. Hunt and coauthors [208] focused in on insects, and argued that phytoliths keep their chewing apparatus׳ from crushing chlorenchmya cells to release contents, thus ...

What are factors affecting the balance of the ozone layer? What is a radial wave function? Explain why gases always occupy the entire container they are in but solids and liquids do not. How does nitrogen monoxide (NO) function in the body to regulate blood pressure?
macromolecule containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus nucleotide monomer of nucleic acids made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base pH scale scale with values from 0 to 14, used to measure the concentration of H+ ions in a solution a pH ...
We are asked to believe that the concourse of atoms, of iron, and of nitrogen, and of other sorts of chemical elements, into the form of the ship, of its armour, of its guns, of its engines, of its ammunition, of its stores of food,—that this concourse was purely the outcome of...
