Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Why does the formation of the DNA double helix release heat?
Respuesta
  • 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.

  • Because the enzymes that do it couple the reaction with another one that releases heat.
