1
Identify the terms that need to be organized in the table. This could include biological concepts, processes, or structures.
Determine the criteria for organizing these terms. Consider what categories or classifications are relevant, such as function, location, or type.
Label the columns and rows based on the criteria you have chosen. For example, if organizing cell organelles, columns could be labeled 'Organelle Name', 'Function', and 'Location in Cell'.
Place each term in the appropriate cell of the table according to the labels. Ensure that each term is correctly categorized based on the criteria.
Review the table to ensure clarity and accuracy. Make adjustments if necessary to improve the organization or labeling.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Data Organization

Data organization involves arranging information systematically to enhance clarity and accessibility. In biology, this often means categorizing terms or data points into tables or charts, which helps in identifying relationships and patterns. Proper labeling of columns and rows is crucial for effective data interpretation.

Table Construction

Table construction is the process of creating a structured format to display data. It involves defining columns and rows to categorize information logically. In biology, tables are used to compare and contrast different biological terms or data, facilitating easier analysis and understanding of complex information.

Labeling Techniques

Labeling techniques refer to the methods used to assign names or titles to columns and rows in a table. Effective labeling is essential for clarity, ensuring that each term or data point is easily identifiable. In biology, labels should be precise and descriptive to accurately reflect the content and aid in comprehension.

Textbook Question

Copy the polynucleotide strand in Figure 5.23a and label the bases G, T, C, and T, starting from the 5′ end. Assuming this is a DNA polynucleotide, now draw the complementary strand, using the same symbols for phosphates (circles), sugars (pentagons), and bases. Label the bases. Draw arrows showing the 5'→3' direction of each strand. Use the arrows to make sure the second strand is antiparallel to the first.

Hint: After you draw the first strand vertically, turn the paper upside down; it is easier to draw the second strand from the 5′ toward the 3′ direction as you go from top to bottom.
