Well Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. And Diffusion<span> is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.</span>

Suppose an alkane had 8 carbon atoms. How many hydrogen atoms would it have? a. 18 atoms c. 10 atoms b. 16 atoms d. 12 atoms
Delvig [45]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em>18 hydrogen atoms </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
  • <em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.

Dioxin, produced as a by-product of various industrial chemical processes, is suspected of contributing to the development of ca
Degger [83]

Answer: Transcription factors

Explanation:  

The dioxin enters the blood stream and the fat cells and liver cells store it.

While moving inside the cell the dioxin binds to the protein called Aryl hydrocarbon which then binds to the second receptor.  

The complex is then carried to the nucleus of the cell. This tends to on and off certain genes.

This turning on and off of the genes in the cell can lead to serious diseases like cancer, decreased immune function, et cetera.
