The DNA molecule is a polymer consisting of several thousand pairs of nucleotide monomers. Each nucleotide consists of the pentose sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base which may be either a purine or a pyrimidine. Deoxyribose and a nitrogenous base together form a nucleoside.he DNA molecule is a polymer consisting of several thousand pairs of nucleotide monomers.

One way to measure the temperature of matter is. to place a thermometer in contact with it. Some of the. matterâs kinetic energy is transferred to the thermometer. if the matter is warmer than the thermometer. The. increased kinetic energy causes the particles of the. liquid in the thermometer to move farther away from. each other.
How Thermometers Work. Bulb thermometers are good for measuring temperature accurately, but they are harder to use when the goal is to control the temperature. The bimetallic strip thermometer, because it is made of metal, is good at controlling things.
