1d Suppose you adjusted the pH of the hypoxanthine solution to 8.7 - what effect would that have on the hypoxanthine molecules? CAN YOU HELP WITH 1d PLEASE
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
1a Hypoxanthine is an unusual nitrogenous base that can be formed from adenosine; it is not normally found in
1b Suppose you raised the pH of the hypoxanthine solution from 7.0 to 10.0 - what would happen to the ionizable group on a molecule of hypoxanthine?
1c uppose you decreased the pH of the hypoxanthine solution from 7.0 to 5.0 - what would happen to the ionizable group on a molecule of hypoxanthine?
1d Suppose you adjusted the pH of the hypoxanthine solution to 8.7 - what effect would that have on the hypoxanthine molecules?

- Hypoxanthine is a derivative of adenine that is formed by the substitution of the primary amine group from the adenine with the carbonyl group.
- Hypoxanthine is a constituent of nucleic acid that pairs with cytosine.
- The pKa refers to the equilibrium constant that helps to measure the strength of an acid.
