Describe how phospholipids form a barrier between water inside the cell and water outside the cell

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Phospholipids would have to form a phospholipid bilayer in order to achieve water on the outside and water inside. This is because the nonpolar tails of the phospholipids are facing each other in a water environment because they cannot interact with the water, only their own tails, while the phosphate heads of the molecule face the periphery of the tails and interact with water. Micelles are the simplest examples of these.</span>

The vapor pressure of liquid pentane, C5H12, is 40.0 mm Hg at 244 K. A sample of C5H12 is placed in a closed, evacuated containe

Rudik [331]

Answer:

b. The pressure in the container will be 100mm Hg.

d. Some of vapor initially present will condense.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure of liquid Pantene rises when there is container where evacuation of water molecules is restricted. The pressure inside the container rises to 100 mm Hg and then liquid molecules start condensing. These molecule form vapors.

What is the overall charge of the compound frfr

matrenka [14]

Answer:

As any molecular or ionic compound, 0 net charge, as a hypothetical diatomic cation, 2+

Explanation:

The question states that this is a compound, and any molecular or ionic compound would have a net charge of 0.

However, such a compound doesn't exist. Francium generally exists in nature having a 1+ charge in its cation form. Combining two francium ions would result in a $Fr_2^{2+}$ species which is simply a diatomic ion but not a compound.

As illustrated, the below manometer consists of a gas vessel and an open-ended U-tube containing a nonvolatile liquid with a den

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

Explanation:

The difference in heights in the two sides is because of the difference in pressure of the enclosed gas and the atmospheric pressure. This difference is in mm of the nonvolatile liquid. The difference in mm Hg is:

32.3mm * (0.993g/mL / 13.6g/mL) = 2.36mmHg

As atmospheric pressure is 765mm Hg and assuming the gas has more pressure than the atmospheric pressure (There is no illustration), the pressure of the gas is:

765mm Hg + 2.36mm Hg = 767.36 mmHg

In atm:

767.36 mmHg * (1atm / 760 mmHg) =

1.01atm is the pressure of the gas

Which statement describes the trend in first ionization energy for elements on the periodic table?

snow_tiger [21]

The statement that best describes the trend in first ionization enery of elements on the periodic table is:

<span>It generally decreases down a group because valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.

The first ionization energy measures how difficult is to release an electron from the outermost shell. The higher the ionization energy the more difficult it is to release an electron, the lower the ionication energy the easier to release an electron.

As the atomic number of the atom increases (which is what happens when you go down a group) the furthest the outermost shell of electrons will be (the size of the atoms increases) and so those electrons require less energy to be released, which means that the ionization energy decreases.

A strand of messenger RNA coding the synthesis of a protein with 146 amino acids must have a string of___________ bases along it

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Since the relationship between amino acid and codon bases would be the values of 3 nitrogenous bases per 1 amino acid.

knowing this relationship what you would do is simply multiply 146 x 3 to find the number of codon bases which would be C. 438.
