Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with lipid solu- bility similar to that of O2 and CO2. Endothelial cells lining arteries

use NO to signal surrounding smooth muscle cells to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. What mechanism or mechanisms would transport NO from where it is produced in the cytoplasm of an endothelial cell into the cytoplasm of a smooth muscle cell, where it acts?

Answer:

NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, we must consider that O_2 and CO_2, NO passively diffuses through membranes. As it is produced by an enzyme and accumulates in the endothelial cell cytosol, NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Best regards

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

m= 1.84 m

M= 1.79 M

mole fraction (X) =

Xsolute= 0.032

Xsolvent = 0.967

Explanation:

1. Find the grams of FeCl3 in the solution: when we have a mass % we assume that there is 100 g of solution so 24% means 24 g of FeCl3 in the solution. The rest 76 g are water.

2. For molality we have the formula m= moles of solute / Kg solvent

so first we pass the grams of FeCl3 to moles of FeCl3:

24 g of FeCl3x(1 mol FeCl3/162.2 g FeCl3) = 0.14 moles FeCl3

If we had 76 g of water we convert it to Kg:

76 g water x(1 Kg of water/1000 g of water) = 0.076 Kg of water

now we divide m = 0.14 moles FeCl3/0.076 Kg of water

m= 1.84 m

3. For molarity we have the formula M= moles of solute /L of solution

the moles we already have 0.14 moles FeCl3

the (L) of solution we need to use the density of the solution to find the volume value. For this purpose we have: 100 g of solution and the density d= 1.280 g/mL

The density formula is d = (m) mass/(V) volume if we clear the unknown value that is the volume we have that (V) volume = m/d

so V = 100 g / 1.280 g/mL = 78.12 mL = 0.078 L

We replace the values in the M formula

M= 0.14 moles of FeCl3/0.078 L

M= 1.79 M

3. Finally the mole fraction (x)  has the formula

X(solute) = moles of solute /moles of solution

X(solvent) moles of solvent /moles of solution

X(solute) + X(solvent) = 1

we need to find the moles of the solvent and we add the moles of the solute like this we have the moles of the solution:

76 g of water x(1 mol of water /18 g of water) = 4.2 moles of water

moles of solution = 0.14 moles of FeCl3 + 4.2 moles of water = 4.34 moles of solution

X(solute) = 0.14 moles of FeCl3/4.34 moles of solution = 0.032

1 - X(solute) = 1 - 0.032 = 0.967

What is the molarity of a solution if you take 12.0 grams of ca(no3)2 and mix it with 0.105 l of water?
Lunna [17]
The  molarity  of  a solution  if it tale 12.0   grams  of  Ca(No3)2  is  calculated as below

molarity =  moles/volume in liters
 moles = mass/molar mass =  12.0 g/ 164 g/mol =  0.073 moles

molarity is therefore  = 0.073/0.105 = 0.7 M

9. Which statement provides evidence that supports the Big Bang Theory?* 2 points
liberstina [14]

The statement the chemical makeup of the universe has changed dramatically provides evidence that supports the Big Bang Theory (Option D).

<h3>What is the Big Bang Theory?</h3>

The Big Bang Theory is a widely accepted theory in physics that states all the universe began with a huge explosion and form then matters expanded in space at the same time that it is cooling.

Therefore, with this data, we can see that the Big Bang Theory states that the chemical composition of the universe associated with hydrogen and helium modified since this explosion.
