B & Phosphodiester bonds & Q & Regulates responses to external stimuli. C & Adrenal cortex & R & Catalyses glycolysis. D & Epinephrine. & S & Links nucleotides together. array )
Options
- AA = R B = S C = P D = Q
- BA = Q B = R C = S D = P
- CA = R B = S C = Q D = P
- DA = R B = P C = S D = Q
Correct answer
A. A = R B = S C = P D = Q
Step-by-step solution
Oxidoreductases are enzymes that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions. In the context of metabolic pathways like glycolysis, enzymes such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase act as oxidoreductases. Thus, A matches with R. Phosphodiester bonds are the covalent linkages that connect the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon atom of another in the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA and RNA. Thus, B matches with S. The adrenal cortex is an endocrine gland that produces essential hormones like co
