Hydrogen bonds are weak, so they are less important in stabilizing the structure

Question

Hydrogen bonds are weak, so they are less important in stabilizing the structure of molecules than covalent bonds, which are stronger than hydrogen bonds, Prokaryotes are always unicellular, and eukaryotes are always multicellular Living cells are not at equilibrium. H-DNA contains strands of all purine or all pyrimidines which form triple-stranded helices. Meselson and Stahl showed that DNA replication is semi-conservative, by growing bacteria in media containing different isotopes of phosphorus and measuring the density of the bacterial DNA in density gradients. Hershey and Chase showed that DNA is the genetic material, because when they infected bacteria with a virus containing ^32 P-labeled DNA and ^35 S-labeled proteins, the new viruses produced by the infection contained only ^32 P. 7. CO_2, like H_2 O, is polar and have a dipole moment.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1. False

Though Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds but they are still important as they help to stabilise the shape of many biological molecules . They help to stabilise the secondary structure of proteins and and also keep the complimentary strands of DNA together .
