An element is to a ____ as an organ is to a ____
a. atom; organism <--pretty sure this one's wrong
b. compound; organism <--not all organisms have organs
c. molecule; cell Leftwards Arrow i think this one's right, but i'm not sure
d. atom; cell Leftwards Arrow marked wrong
e. compound; organelle <--pretty sure this one's wrong

The bonds that are broken when water vaporizes are
a. ionic bonds
b. bonds between water molecules
c. bonds between atoms within individual water molecules
d. polar covalent bonds <--marked wrong
e. nonpolar covalent bonds

i'm pretty sure it's c or d

Which functional group is most likely to be responsible for an organic molecule behaving as a base?
a. hydroxyl
b. carbonyl
c. carboxyl
d. amino <--marked wrong but i'm almost 100% sure it's this!
e. phosphate

Choose the pair of terms that correctly completes this sentence:
Nucleotides are to ____ as ____ are to proteins
a. nucleic acids; amino acids
b. amino acids; polypeptides
c. glycosidic linkages; polypeptide linkages
d. genes; enzymes
e. polymers; polypeptides Leftwards Arrow marked wrong

Enzymes that break down DNA catalyze the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would happen to DNA molecules treated with these enzymes?
a. The two strands of the double helix would separate
b. The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken Leftwards Arrow marked wrong
c. the purines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars
d. the pyrimidines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars
e. All bases would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars


if you could help me with just 1 of them, i'd be very grateful

1. B, you need to brush up. an organism is defined as having organs...
2. B, when water vaporizes (evaporation) it doesnt break apart the individual water molecules, rather it breaks the hydrogen and dipole-dipole and london dispersion forces
3. A, hydroxyl group is classic base.
4. A, nucleotides make up nucleic acids and amino acids make up proteins
5. A, best answer.

An element is to a ____ as an organ is to a ____
a. atom; organism
Elements make up atoms as organs make up organisms. This is the only one that has the right sizes on each side of the equation

The bonds that are broken when water vaporizes are
c. bonds between atoms within individual water molecules
These are hydrogen bonds.

Which functional group is most likely to be responsible for an organic molecule behaving as a base?
a. hydroxyl
They contain OH- molecules, the hallmark characterisitc of a base.

Choose the pair of terms that correctly completes this sentence:
Nucleotides are to ____ as ____ are to proteins
a. nucleic acids; amino acids
Nucleotides make up nucleic acids as amino acids make u proteins

Enzymes that break down DNA catalyze the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would happen to DNA molecules treated with these enzymes?
a. The two strands of the double helix would separate
These enzymes break the hydrogen bonds (covalent) that connect the two strands of DNA

Allow me to explain why number one is B. You have to read the sentence as "an element is part of a _____ as an organ is part of a ____." It's one of the simple analogy formats you can use. Therefore, the only logical response is B: "an element is part of a compound as an organ is part of an organism." Of course not all organisms have organs, but this response is the best.

Answer A is not a good choice because scientists do not say atoms are made of elements. Atoms are made of (putting this simply here) subatomic particles.

Also, for number 2, the answer is B. When water vaporizes, it is still water, it just now exists as a gas. The hydrogen bonds between the many molecules of water are broken. The bonds of the molecules themselves are left alone. If these were to change, we wouldn't have water vapor.

The rest of the answers the other two individuals posted are correct. But, I wanted to confirm questions 1 and 2 for you since "Keeper" did not get them correct.
