What is a consequence of the specific heat capacity for liquid water, ice and water vapor

Biology

Arisa [49]2 years ago

<em>Water has unique chemical characteristics in all three states—solid, liquid, and gas—thanks to the ability of its molecules to hydrogen bond with one another. Since living things, from human beings to bacteria, have a high water content, understanding the unique chemical features of water in its three states is key to biology. </em>

<em>In liquid water, hydrogen bonds are constantly being formed and broken as the water molecules slide past each other. The breaking of these bonds is caused by the energy of motion (kinetic energy) of the water molecules due to the heat contained in the system. </em>

<em>When the heat is raised (for instance, as water is boiled), the higher kinetic energy of the water molecules causes the hydrogen bonds to break completely and allows water molecules to escape into the air as gas. We observe this gas as water vapor or steam. </em>

<em>On the other hand, when the temperature drops and water freezes, water molecules form a crystal structure maintained by hydrogen bonding (as there is too little heat energy left to break the hydrogen bonds). This structure makes ice less dense than liquid water.</em>

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus are the organelles where the post-translational modifications of proteins take place like folding of proteins.

Sometimes few proteins fail to fold properly and are a waste to the cell so has to de degraded. The misfolded proteins move from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol through a process called "Protein dislocation".  

Although the process is not properly misunderstood the protein degradation in the cytosol take place through deglycosylation and proteasomal ubiquitination.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Toxins are non-living biological agents produced by living plants, animals, or bacteria. an example of a toxin is:
zaharov [31]

Answer: Botulinum toxin

Toxins are non-living biological and chemical agents produced by living microorganisms from animals and plants that can cause harm to humans, plants and animals. An example of toxin is botulinum toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium, which is a neurotoxic protein that prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction and causes flaccid paralysis.

Moreover, toxin are more closely related to chemical warfare agents that can only affect those who are exposed to the agent and that they are not considered as transmissible disease.
