A) Uracil B) Thymine
C) Cytosine D) Guanine
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Uracil

Explanation:

A nitrogenous base, or nitrogen-containing base, is an organic molecule with a nitrogen atom that has the chemical properties of a base. The main biological function of a nitrogenous base is to bond nucleic acids together. A nitrogenous base owes its basic properties to the lone pair of electrons of a nitrogen atom.

 

In DNA, four bases have been found. They are

1. Adenine (A),

2. Guanine (G),

3. Cytosine (C) and

4. Thymine (T).

 

The first three of these bases are found in RNA also but the fourth which is Uracil (U) is absent in it.

RNA contains cytosine and uracil as pyrimidine bases while DNA has cytosine and thymine.

Q:

A pulse can be detected most easily in

A) a vein B) a lacteal
C) an artery D) a capillary
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) an artery

Explanation:

A pulse can be detected most easily in Arteries as they are under much greater pressure than veins because they are carrying blood away from the heart which is the pumping machine to force blood to move to all of the body.

 

Every time the hear contracts, it can be felt in an artery where a surge of blood has just been forced.

 

A capillary is too small to feel a pulse and a lacteal is part of the lymphatic system found in the small intestine.

Organic Molecules :

An organic molecule is one which contains carbon, although not all compounds that contain carbon are organic molecules. Noticeable exceptions are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonates (e.g. calcium carbonate), carbides (e.g. calcium carbide) and cyanides (e.g. sodium cyanide). Pure carbon compounds such as diamond and graphite are also not organic compounds. Organic molecules can range in size from simple molecules to complex structures containing thousands of atoms.

 

Although carbon is present in all organic compounds, other elements such as hydrogen (H), oxygen(O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) are also common in these molecules.

 

In simple, Molecules needed for life that have carbon are called Organic Molecules.
