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

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula:
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

3.89002 × 10 ⁻⁷m = 389.002nm.

Explanation:

Without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the problem above. To calculate the wavelength of the line in the absorption line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron from an orbital with n = 2 to an orbital with n = 8, there is the need to make use of the change in energy equation.

The change in energy = 2.18 × 10⁻¹⁸ [ 1/2² - 1/8²] =  2.18 × 10⁻¹⁸ × [0.25 - 0.015625] =  2.18 × 10⁻¹⁸ × 0.234375 = 5.11 × 10⁻¹⁹.  

Therefore, the wavelength = plank's constant × speed of light/ change in energy = 6.626× 10⁻³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸/ 5.11 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.9878 × 10⁻²⁵/  5.11 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 0.389002 × 10⁻⁶ = 3.89002 × 10 ⁻⁷m = 389.002nm.

You would like to induce a transversion mutation into a sequence of dna. Which type of chemical mutagen would give you the best
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The type of chemical mutagen to choose depends on the intended effect. In this case, the best ones are acridines and nitrous acid.

Explanation:

Brenner et al. proposed that acridines induce mutations by causing deletions or additions of single base pairs during replication. Acridines bind to DNA by intercalation between adjacent base pairs. Acridines inactivate extracellular phage  by photodynamic action but the necessary conditions for this killing

are avoided in the procedure for acridine-induced mutation of reproducing phage. The lack of reported acridine-induced mutation in organisms other than phage raises some questions as to the generality of its

mutagenesis, thus making it a good type of compounds to induce specific mutations.

In the other hand,  nitrous acid deaminates the amino bases adenine, cytosine  (and hydroxymethylcytosine) , and guanine in nucleic acids.

Analysis of the effect of differences of pH during nitrous acid treatment  

of phage DNA showed that the rate of killing was affected similarly to

the rate of guanine deamination, and that the rates of induced r mutation was affected similarly to the rates of adenine and hydroxymethylcytosine deamination. Ascribing the induced mutations to deamination of adenine and cytosine is reasonable in terms of the hydrogen  bonding of their products and the Watson-Crick base pairing schemes. Since this inorganic acid is molecule-specific, it would also be used to induce certain mutations in bacteria without causing transition mutations.
