400
Living organisms require a constant investment of energy so they can continue to exist in this specific way.
What is a dynamic steady state?
500
A bond that could form between an acid and another group when the acid is deprotonated in basic conditions (high pHs).
What is an ionic or hydrogen bond?
500
DNA polymerase carries out replication following the DNA strand in a specific manner due to this property of nucleic acid.
