When a singly ionized potassium ion moves through a channel in the membrane passing from the outside to the inside, what is the

magnitude of the work done by the electric field of the membrane?.

Korolek [52]1 year ago

The magnitude of the work done by the electric field of the membrane is <u>W = 1.28 × 10⁻²⁰ Joules</u>.

We start with the necessity to take into account a value for the voltage present there in order to solve this problem by first considering that the membranes have two layers, one internal and one external, each responsible for producing a potential difference between the two levels.

As a result, in order to find a solution, it is necessary to take into account the potential difference between the two surfaces. In this instance, we'll assume a particular value for the load, but the recipient is free to substitute a different value if they prefer.

The product of the potential difference and the charge is used to define the work that an electric field performs. The charge of the potassium ion will be equal to that of its electron, so,

q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ Coulombs

Then the Work would be:

W = Vq

Here,

v = Potential difference

q = Charge

The 80mV potential difference we will have is quantified as follows:

W = (80mV (1V/1000mV))( 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

W = 1.28 × 10⁻²⁰ Joules is the amount of work that the membrane's electric field has produced.

yanalaym [24]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is B) RNA and Proteins.

Ribosome is a molecular machinery, which is located in all living cells. It is formed from proteins and complexes of rRNA ( ribosomal RNA). That is why, it is also called as ribonucleoprotein.

Ribosome serves as the site for protein synthesis. It is primarily divided into two subunits, a larger ribosomal subunit and a smaller ribososmal subunit, which together assist the process of protein formation ( translation).

Thus, the components of ribosomes are RNA and proteins.

The original name for Asian Homo erectus was Group of answer choices Homo rudolfensis. Australopithecus. Paranthropus. Pithecant
Effectus [21]

Answer: Pithecanthropus erectus.

Explanation:

Between 1891 and 1892 Eugène Dubois believed he had found the "missing link", hypothesized by Ernst Haeckel, when he discovered some loose teeth, a skull cap and a femur - very similar to that of modern man - in the excavations he was carrying out in Trinil, located on the island of Java, Indonesia. Homo erectus erectus was the first specimen of Homo erectus to be discovered.  Dubois first named it <u>Anthropopithecus erectus and then renamed it Pithecanthropus erectus.</u> The name Homo erectus means in Latin "erect man", wich means, "standing man", whereas Pithecantropus erectus means "standing ape-man".

So, Dubois published these findings as Pithecanthropus erectus in 1894, more popularly known as "Java Man" or "Trinil Man". In the 1930s the German palaeontologist Ralpf von Koenigswald obtained new fossils, both from Trinil and from new locations such as Sangiran and in 1938 von Koenigswald identified a magnificent Sangiran skull as "Pithecanthropus". It was not until 1940 that Mayr attributed all these remains to the genus Homo (Homo erectus erectus).

Please read the article Why Cats Have Nine Lives by Jared Diamond. Our analysis did not attempt to
kupik [55]

The author assumes that the question can be answered by applying principles of anatomy, physics and evolutionary biology. First reason he suggests is that cats are small and they have a favourable mass-surface area ratio. Next, he suggests that cats have soft tissues that absorb the shock and they land on all four limbs, dividing the shock. This is because of their body shape and its centre of gravity. He says that felines have this kind of body structure (that canines lack) because years of falling from trees etc. has evolved their body in this way.

Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves a five nucleotide DNA sequence GA(A/T)TC. The ambiguity in the central position - (A/T) - means
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

C) 2.0 kb

Explanation:

It is given that out of the 4 nucleotides A, T, C & G each one has equal probability to occur at any position on the DNA molecule which simply means that the probability of occurrence of any nucleotide at a position is 1/4.

Also, it is given that probability of occurrence of either A or T at 3rd position is equal which means that the probability at that particular position will be 2/4 = 1/2.

Now, GA(A/T)TC is the DNA sequence where Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves so the total probability of an average HinfI cleavage fragment will be = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 0.00195 = 0.2 i.e. 2 kb.
