[Ca2+] within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is 10-3M. Cytosolic [Ca2+] is 10-7M. Lysosomes in mammalian cells have an internal

pH of 4.0. Cytosolic pH of a typical mammalian cell is 7.0. Which transport reaction has a greater (more positive) Delta Gc, H+ import into lysosomes or Ca2+import into the ER?A. H+ import into the lysosome because it has the steeper concentration gradient.B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient.C. H+ import into the lysosome because it is a monovalent cation.D. Ca2+ import into the ER because it is a divalent cation.E. Delta Gc is the same for both ions because their concentration gradients are the same.

Answer:

B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient

Explanation:

ΔGt =  RT㏑(C₂/C₁)

where ΔGt is the free energy change for transport; R = 8.315 J/mol; T = 298 K; C₂/C₁ is ratio of concentrations inside and outside each organelle.

For Ca²⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑(10⁻³/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt= 3.42 kJ/mol

For H⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑ (10⁻⁴/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt = 2.73 kJ/mol

From the above values, ΔGt is greater for Ca²⁺ import because it has a steeper concentration gradient

3. A helium laser emits light with a wavelength of 6.33 x 10^-7m. What is
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

4.52 x 10¹⁴ cycles/s

Explanation:

From c = f·λ => f = c/λ = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)/(6.63 x 10⁻⁷m) = 4.52 x 10¹⁴ cycles/s.

f = frequency = ?

λ = wavelength = 6.63 x 10⁻⁷ meter

c = speed of light in vacuum = 3.0 x 10⁸ meters/s

State one type of additional information that could be used to determine if these three species are closely related.
Luda [366]

Answer:

Study the bone structure of limbs.

Explanation:

Study the bone structure of limbs can be used to find out the relatedness and relationship among three species because the pattern of bones structure is similar but the structure is different from one another due to different environmental conditions. This study provides important and useful information whether the three species are closely related or not. If they have similar bone structure than we can say that there are more chances that they are closely related to each other.

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 319kJ during a certain chemical reaction, whi
hram777 [196]

Answer:

the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction is 227Kj

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 319kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that -92kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction. Calculate the change of energy of the gas mixture during the reaction in kJ.

From thermodynamics

ΔE= q + w

Where w= workdone on the system or by the system

q= heat added or remove

ΔE= change in the internal energy

q=+ 319kJ ( absorbed heat is + ve

w= -92kJ

If we substitute the given values,

ΔE= 319 + (-92)= 227 Kj

With the increase in enthalpy and there is absorbed heat, hence the reaction is an endothermic reaction.
