Frage 1

Frage

Frage 3

Frage
Why does the formation of the DNA double helix release heat?
Antworten
  • It doesn't release heat, it absorbs it.
  • Because the formation of the double helix is a decrease in entropy, thus heat must be released to increase it and make the reaction favourable.
  • The overall net formation of hydrogen bonds releases energy as heat.
  • Because the enzymes that do it couple the reaction with another one that releases heat.

Frage
What is the Pauli exclusion principle?
Antworten
