Biology Homework Help


Recommended Posts

I am hoping someone has study this and will be able to help me out with some of the following questions that have been keeping me up all night! Thanks!!

1) In what way are fungi and plants alike?

2) Dna has two parts that must link up in a particular order of letters. If you have a short piece of dna with sequence of letters, GCTGAACTG , the other half of the dna would have which sequence of letters?

3) Give the common English language name AND the proper scientific name in binomial form, for any TWO organisms from any TWO different kingdoms.

4) On Febuary 28th , 1953 , a very important and famous discovery in science occured. What was the discovery made at Cambridge University in England?

5) IF you observed green, cellular, threadlike structures on a dead leaf, to what kingdom might this organism belong?

match the following.

kingdom, class, order, phylum, family, bacteria, genus, protist with one of the following....

1. group of related classes

2. group of related species

3. group of related phyla

4. eukaryote lacking complex organ systems

5. group of related orders

6. microscopic, single-celled prokaryotes.

A Dna nucleotide may be made up of a phosphate group, along with

a. deoxyribose sugar and thymine

b. ribose sugar and cytosine

c. ribose sugar and adenine

d. deoxyribose sugar and uracil

I don't remember the whole kingdom stuff, we learned that in grade 11 and I can't recall that much back then. Its been 2 years since then. For 2) GCTGAACTG.. you just find the matching nucleic acid, like guanine pairs with cytosine in DNA and adenine pairs with thymine. Therefore, the answer for 2) would be:

CGACTTGAC.

For 4.. this one is quite obvious, i'm starting to get suspicious about the fact that you spent "all night" up on these questions. Even if you didn't know it, simple research would reveal that it was the day that the DNA double helical structure was discovered. Its simple biology/chemistry info.

For 7, since it is DNA, DNA has a deoxyribose sugar, not a ribose sugar (therefore b and c answers are eliminated). Then, you have to look at the nucleic acids in DNA, in DNA the nucleic acids are thymine, adenine, guanine and cytosine. In RNA, the uracil is present. Therefore, it cannot be D) since we are dealing with DNA not RNA. Therefore, your answer is A) DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, complementary nucleic acid (thymine in this case) and a phosphate group.

Hope this helps although you should get some sleep next time and do the questions in the morning.

Maybe someone else can help you out with the kindom/order questions since I simply forgot those.

ehhrm, to be honest - the answers should be in any textbook... I'm studying biology at university, but these questions were certainly answered in my high school books - maybe not the phylum ones, but there should be a diagram or something where you can see in a blink of an eye what you're trying to look for.

Like tunafish stated, you're not asking for HELP - you're asking for answers... Help is when you've tried to solve something, or you can't comprehend something and you want it to be clarified - not plain answers... it's like HELP WHAT IS 2+3? You're expecting "5" as an answer, an that's not helping, that's 'do my homework' - I would've been more willing to help if you went like "why is 2+3=5 and not 6 like I am getting/thinking?"

anyways; here goes - cause I'm in a decent mood;

1 - should be in your textbook near the "wtf are fungi?"-section

2 - answered previously

3 - Go to wikipedia, look up two animals.

4 - UTFG

5 - dead leaf... hmm, what might process dead material? could it be... fungi? bacteria?! woah

6 - yet again, should be listed in your textbook really clearly... it's basically the definition :\

7 - DNA - deoxyribose + nucleic acid which can be G, C, A, T - Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine, Thymine... should be clear enough now

The time the OP spent posting this he/she could have found all the answers in their text book.

What ever happened to the days of actually looking up stuff? Man.... real life is going to wack some people in the face really hard.

Thanks so much for all the help!! =)

Google + attending classes will help you do your homework you know. If you can't be bothered to make an effort, you're going to fail anyway, so why bother at all?

Why the hell would i post on neowin and waste the time, if i haven't tired to even find the awnsers. Trust me i have tried and asking for people is not a problem some people out there,actually nice and are willing to help. IF you dont want to thats fine, don't bother, don't go critizing people!! Because for all you know i have made an effort!

Do you not have a text book?

I took biology last year, and I'm not an expert by any means but any reasonable text book should have those answers. You might just have to read the damn thing. Trust me I hate reading the books but it actually (shock) helpful!

I don't mind helping people with homework but not when they post there whole damn homework assignment.

dude...forget about asking for answers to your damn homework. Hell, I posted a math problem several days ago and never got a straight answer! Better luck asking somewhere else!
