Explanation:

Each has one chlorin ring- chlorin is a form of porphyrin.

Chlorophylls are comprised of a ringed molecule, chlorin, a hydrogenated form of porphyrin which contains a magnesium ion at the center, bonded to four atoms of nitrogen. Varying types of Chlorophyll have side chains, which affect the absorption spectrum of the molecule for instance A has a methyl group bonded to the C7 position, while B has an aldehyle (CHO) group at this location.

Embedded within the thykaloid membrane of chloroplasts, chlorophyll a and B mainly absorb orange-red and violet-blue wavelengths and convert light energy into chemical energy for the process of photosynthesis. This occurs in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, within chloroplasts of plants. The range of wavelengths absorbed by a pigment is its absorption spectrum while it reflects those outside of this range. Plants appear green as this region of light is reflected by the pigments.

Cellulose is another long polymer of glucose. Plant cells make their cell walls out of cellulose. In fact, 100 billion tons of cellulose is made every year on earth. Cellulose is indigestible in most animals, including us. Ever eat a cardboard box? You get the picture. We simply lack cellulase, the enzyme that can break it down. Some bacteria, some single-celled protists, and fungi have the enzyme. Animals that feed on cellulose harbor these microbes that help them digest it. Even though, we cannot break down this molecule, we do need cellulose in our diet. We call it “fiber”. Cellulose stimulates the colon to produce regular bowel movements and helps make the stools large and soft. A diet rich in fiber can prevent a painful intestinal disorder called diverticulosis. Hard impacted stools can sometimes cause the walls of the colon to form blind outpockets called diverticula which can periodically inflame. So what makes cellulose different from starch? Isn’t it made of glucose? Well it is but the glucose monomers are organized in an interesting fashion. The orientation of the glucose molecules alternates. So if the first one is right side up, the next one is upside down and then the next is right side up and the next one is upside down. Apparently this is a tricky arrangement for an enzyme to break.

Answer:

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, non-irritant, odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels such as wood, petrol, coal, natural gas and kerosene. Its molecular weight is 28.01 g/mol, melting point −205.1 °C, boiling point (at 760 mmHg) −191.5 °C (−312.7 °F), density 1.250 kg/m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm and 1.145 kg/m3 at 25 °C and 1 atm, and relative density (air = 1) 0.967 (1,2). Its solubility in water at 1 atm is 3.54 ml/100 ml at 0 °C, 2.14 ml/100 ml at 25 °C and 1.83 ml/100 ml at 37 °C.

The molecular weight of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air (28.01 vs approximately 29). It mixes freely with air in any proportion and moves with air via bulk transport. It is combustible, may serve as a fuel source and can form explosive mixtures with air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen, acetylene, chlorine, fluorine and nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is not detectable by humans either by sight, taste or smell. It is only slightly soluble in water, blood serum and plasma; in the human body, it reacts with haemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb).

The relationship of carbon monoxide exposure and the COHb concentration in blood can be modelled using the differential Coburn-Forster-Kane equation (3), which provides a good approximation to the COHb level at a steady level of inhaled exogenous carbon monoxide.

Conversion factors

At 760 mmHg and 20 °C, 1ppm = 1.165 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.858 ppm; at 25 °C, 1 ppm = 1.145 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.873 ppm.

Can someone send me their table for 3.13 meaning of mitosis assignment plz

Firlakuza [10]

Mitosis, a procedure of cell duplication, or multiplication, amid which one cell offers ascend to two hereditarily indistinguishable girl cells. Carefully connected, the term mitosis is utilized to depict the duplication and dissemination of chromosomes, the structures that convey the hereditary data.

A concise treatment of mitosis pursues. For a full treatment, see development: In cells; cell: Mitosis and cytokinesis.

Preceding the beginning of mitosis, the chromosomes have imitated and the proteins that will frame the mitotic axle have been incorporated. Mitosis starts at prophase with the thickening and curling of the chromosomes. The nucleolus, an adjusted structure, shrivels and vanishes. The finish of prophase is set apart by the start of the association of a gathering of strands to frame a shaft and the breaking down of the atomic layer.

The chromosomes, every one of which is a twofold structure comprising of copy chromatids, line up along the midline of the cell at metaphase. In anaphase every chromatid pair isolates into two indistinguishable chromosomes that are destroyed to inverse closures of the cell by the shaft strands. Amid telophase, the chromosomes start to decondense, the axle separates, and the atomic films and nucleoli re-structure. The cytoplasm of the mother cell partitions to frame two girl cells, each containing indistinguishable number and sort of chromosomes from the mother cell. The stage, or stage, after the consummation of mitosis is called interphase.

P.S. You're a mean person. You ought to pursue different people groups bearing and don't simply answers something for focuses. Fortunately, I revealed you and your answers got delted and afterward erased the 50 points that you escaped your focuses. Try not to do that or else no one's going to like you. Bye....
