When you break down maple syrup into smaller units, these units are called

This question lacks options, the options are:

a. nucleotides b. monosaccharides c. RNA d. triglycerides

The answer is B. Monosaccharides

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are the simplest units of carbohydrates. They contain one units of sugar, hence, are commonly called simple sugars. Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose etc. They contain basically carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements in their structure.

Maple syrup is a syrup majorly composed of carbohydrates used generally as a sweetening purposes. It is extracted from trees of sugar maple and other maple species. Since the syrup is principally composed of sugar (carbohydrate), it is broken down to the simplest unit of any carbohydrate molecule called MONOSACCHARIDE.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
