Theres only one oh group and its at the 3 end cuz the other one gets like dehydro synthesized with the phosphate group so theres only the phosphate group left until the end so theres only one oh per strand, 2 overall

Do I have to show the OH group on all of the sugar groups or just the ones on the 3′ end?

Do we have to show the structure of the bases? Like the hexagons and pentagons?

Can I use one item for the sugar, one item for the phosphate group, and one item for the base. And then in the key explain them molecularly?

They can be labeled as a single item.

Do the phosphates have to be broken down into smaller parts, or can they be labeled as a single item labeled phosphate.

Out of all of the animals that I have seen in the above videos, this crab looks to be the least menacing, scary, creepy, or just gross. I find it very interesting that it has setae that contain the bacteria that detoxicates the water for them. I wonder if any other sea creature have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria like this, and the Barreleye fish do.

I chose the Barreleye fish. It seemed like it’s ‘head’ was a dome and there was this little glowing city on the inside, so I just went with it. What was really interesting about this fish was that it’s eye’s were facing mainly up. But after a bit of research I learned that it is probably like this because the fish tends to stay just below this limit of light penetration in the ocean and uses its upward-pointing tubular eyes to look through the water above. The high amount of rod cells in their eyes’ retinae, which are light receptors, allows them to pick up as much light as possible. They even have a symbiotic bioluminescent relationship with specific bacteria that makes certain organs of their body glow. This could perhaps be used for attracting mates, luring in prey, or, if they are un-lucky, attracting predators. But probably the most interesting part is the fact that their eyes are in the transparent dome of a head they have which allows they to take advantage of the jellyfish and steal their food. It really is quite an interesting fish.

The ‘in your Google Document’ part was a mistake that I have crossed out. Sorry about that.

Hi. What do you mean by “in your google document” ?
