Assume you began with 10 g of a radioactive parent isotope. How many grams of parent isotope will be present in the sample after

2 half-lives?

Answer:

2.5 grams

Explanation:

In radioactive decay, one half-life is the time it takes for half of the radioactive sample to decay. So if it takes two hours (for example) for a sample to go from 8 grams to 4 grams, then one half-life has passed (since half the sample has decayed), and the half-life is two hours.

<u>Calculation:</u>

2 half-lives = sample halved twice

10 grams / 2 = 5 grams (one half-life has passed)

5 grams / 2 = 2.5 grams (two half-lives have passed)

2.5g

10÷2=5
5÷2=2.5

everytime it completes a half life, you divide the number by two

What two components are found as part of an enzyme
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Active site and protein.

Explanation:

The two components which are often found as part of an enzyme are Active site and protein. Proteins are referred to as macromolecules or macromolecules which consists of more or one of a chain of amino acid residue. They do perform an array of functions which are within organisms.

Which describes the process of fermentation?
xxMikexx [17]

Explanation:

<u>anaerobic process that restores NAD+ supply </u>

<u></u>

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

  • - a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
  • -incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
  • -missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

Further Explanation:

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
  • The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Question # 9
weeeeeb [17]
Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates, and other biological compounds, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. This is the difference between plants and animals. The carbon dioxide is stored in the plants until they decompose or are burned. So, for example, each fall when the trees lose their leaves and the plants die the level of carbon in the atmosphere goes up. The rest of the tree, bark etc., does not continue to absorb carbon. Plants only take in carbon so long as they are growing and not after they have reached their natural height. Planting trees and other plants is one component of the solution to global warming, but the number of plants we have now cannot consume more carbon than they already do, and there is some evidence that warmer temperatures make photosynthesis more difficult.
