lithium chloride or licl is a salt It is an ionic compound because the Lithium atom readily releases its lone valence electron to the chlorine atom thus forming an ionic bond

An ionic bond is found between a metal and a non-metal, or a cation and anion. The metal always gives electrons away, and the non-metal  always gains electrons. So in the bond for lithium chloride, the lithium ion gives away one electron (giving it a 1+ oxidation number) and the chloride ion takes the electron (giving it a 1- oxidation number) so the chemical formula is written as a 1:1 ratio, since they give and take the same number of electrons. The chemical formula is written as LiCl. This gives you 1 - lithium and 1- chlorine.

1. What type of response will a red blood cell have when placed in a hypertonic solution?
GalinKa [24]
Hypertonic solution means the solution with a lower water potential than the cell cytoplasm, such as salt water.

When the red blood cell is put into it, since the cell has a higher water potential than the solution, water molecules will flow from the cell back into the water due to osmosis.

Osmosis is always where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to lower, through a semi permeable membrane (Whcih is the red blood cell membrane in this case.)

Since water flowed out of the cell, the cell lose water and shrinks.

Hypotonic solution is where the solution that has a higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm.

So when the red blood cell is put in that solution, the water will flow from the solution into the cell this time, by osmosis.

The red blood cell will then gain so much water that the cell membrane cannot hold all and therefore burst.

How is the shape of an enzyme related to its function?
erastova [34]
Function of an enzyme is to lower reaction's activation energy and to increase speed of a reaction, but to make it happen, enzyme and substrate must fit spatially. The shape of an enzyme is essential to make enzyme-substrate complex - if active site of an enzyme doesn't fit to substrate, there won't be a enzyme-catalised reaction.

<span>The discovery of thornless plants was made around the turn of the 20th century. To name one such thornless plant, particularly, the Blackberry plant, the deviation from the thorned blackberry canes were discovered in the United States. Since then, several different thornless blackberry varieties have been cultivated for fruit gardens.</span>
