Which statement best describes a portion of the molecule represented below? a. It consists of many ribose sugars
b. It unites with amino acids in the cytoplasm
c. It contains uracil, which functions in protein synthesis
d. It consists of alternating phosphates groups and deoxyribose molecules

The given molecule is consists of alternating deoxyribose molecules and phosphates groups.

DNA:

It is the biomolecule that is made up of nucleotide polymers. Nucleotide are made up deoxiribose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous bases.

In a DNA strand one nucleotide link with another by the phosphodiester bond in which 3' OH of pentose sugar bond with 5' OH of phosphate.

Therefore, the given molecule is consists of alternating deoxyribose molecules and phosphates groups.

d. It consists of alternating phosphates groups and deoxyribose molecules

Explanation:

The statement above best describes a portion of the molecule that is represented here.

Actually, the molecule represented here is the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The molecule is composed of two polynucleotide. The DNA carries genetic properties that lead to growth, development, reproduction and functioning of organisms. The phosphate group and deoxyribose molecule are found attached to the DNA. The phosphate group is also found in RNA and in ATP. The deoxyribose is known to be a five-carbon sugar molecule which helps to form the phosphate backbone of DNA molecules.

in 1972 the fluid—mosaic membrane model of membrane structure was proposed based on thermodynamic principals of organization of membrane lipids and proteins and available evidence of asymmetry and lateral mobility within the membrane matrix [s. j. singer and g. l. nicolson, science 175 (1972) 720–731].
