Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects the entire biosphere â plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities.
Ribose stands alone as a nutrient that can increase the energy level in hearts and muscles, and restore energy that is depleted by over-exertion or disease that robs cells and tissues of the energy they need to survive and thrive.
Ribose is also a five-carbon sugar but found in RNA molecules. Ribose has a hydroxyl group in carbon 2, which resulting in an electrostatic negative charge for the molecule. Because of this charge, it repels the negatively charged phosphate group attached to the carbon 1 of the ribose, resulting uncoiled RNA molecules, unlike the DNA molecules. What is the difference between Deoxyribose and Ribose? DNA/RNA: Deoxyribose is the sugar found in DNA. Ribose is the sugar found in RNA. Structure: Deoxyribose lacks oxygen atom on carbon 2 of the sugar ring. Ribose has a hydroxyl group on carbon 2 of the sugar ring. Impact for the final structure:
