How do the three opsin molecules respond to different wavelengths of light when their retinal molecular structures are identical

?
Physics
1 answer:
Yuki888 [10]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The three opsin molecules respond to different wavelengths of light because of the different structure of the protein bound to the opsin molecules.

Explanation:

Opsin is a protein that is released by the action of light and forms part of the visual pigment rhodopsin. There are two groups of protein termed opsins,  type I opsins, which are employed by prokaryotes and by some algae  and fungi, and type II opsins which are used by animals.

Though the retinal molecular structures of the opsin molecules are identical, they respond to different wavelengths of light because of the different structure of the protein bound to the opsin molecules.

a ball on a string makes 30.0 revolutions in 14.4s, in a circle of radius 0.340m. what is its period.(unit=s)
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

0.480 seconds

Explanation:

The period is the time for 1 revolution.  Writing a proportion:

14.4 s / 30.0 rev = t / 1 rev

t = 0.480 s

The period is 0.480 seconds.

g A bowling ball with a mass of 3.86 kg and a radius of 0.161 m starts from rest at a height of 2.5 m and rolls down a 48.4 o sl
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

v=1.5m/s

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy gets transformed into translational and rotational kinetic energy, so we can write mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{I\omega^2}{2}. Since v=r\omega (the ball rolls without slipping) and for a solid sphere I=\frac{2mr^2}{5}, we have:

mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{2mr^2\omega^2}{2*5}=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{5}=\frac{7mv^2}{10}

So our translational speed will be:

v=\sqrt{\frac{10gh}{7}}=\sqrt{\frac{10(9.8m/s^2)(0.161m)}{7}}=1.5m/s

Which isotope has 16 neutrons and is used to study nucleotides and nucleic acids?
qaws [65]
When naming isotopes, the number beside it indicates the mass number. Now mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. 

We know that the mass number of a stable Sulfur atom is 32, so  we can rule out C as an isotope. The atomic number of Sulfur is 16 and that means that there are 16 protons. Now if we subtract 16 from 33, then that means there are 17 neutrons. So we can rule out D. 

Phosphorus on the other hand has an atomic number of 15. If we subtract 15 from 31 we will have 16. That means that Phosphorus-31 has 16 neutrons.

The answer would then be A. Phosphorus 31.

A 60kg student is sitting in a chair and is not moving. what is the force of a student acting on the chair? what is the force of
vazorg [7]

The force with which the student is acting in the chair and the force of the chair acting on the student is 588 N

Explanation:

  • There are two kinds of forces acting on you when you are sitting on the chair, they are the gravitational force and the force exerted by the chair on you.
  • The forces acting on the chair when you are sitting are the gravitational force and the force exerted by you.
  • As per  Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  • Hence, F = ma

        that is, F = 60 * 9.8

                       =588 N

  • So, 588 N force should be applied from both sides then only you can sit properly in the chair.
