1. The sodium-iodide symporter plays a role in the accumulation of iodide in the thyroid gland. Here, one iodide gets converted

to one iodine, which is utilized for the formation of either of the two types of thyroid hormones, T3 and T4. T3 and T4 are named after the number of iodines found in each of these hormones. To produce a single molecule of T3, a total of ____________ sodium ions must move down their concentration gradients by secondary active transport. The movement of iodide ions occurs in the _________________ direction as sodium ions.

Answer:(1) 6 sodium ions

(2)The movement of iodide ions occurs in the same direction as the sodium ions.

Explanation: Sodium-iodide symporter actively transports 2 sodium ions together with one iodide ions across the basement membrane into the thyroid follicular cells.(therefore for production of a single molecule of T3 3×2=6 sodium ions)This system utilises the concentration of sodium ions so that iodide ions can move against its concentration gradient.

The mass percent of oxygen is 32.82%.

<h3>What is a noble gas?</h3>

A noble gas is member of group 18 in the periodic table. The members of this group are known not to be reactive and they do not easily form compounds. However, there have been few compounds of the members of group 18 that have been reported.

Let us now calculate the relative molecular mass of xenon tetraoxide.

Xe + 4 (O)

131 + 4(16) = 195

Given that the mass of oxygen in the compound is 64, the mass  percent of oxygen in xenon tetroxide is obtained from;

64/195 * 100/1

= 32.82%

Which trends appear as the elements in Period 3 are considered from left to right?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the organization of the periodic table, we can see that from left to right, the electronegativity increases as nonmetals are able to attract electrons more easily than metals.

Moreover, in contrast to the previous periodic trend, the metallic character decreases from left to right because the elements tend to decrease the capacity to lose electrons and consequently start attracting them.

Thus, the answer would be: "Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases".

Best regards!

Convert a speed of 259 cm/s to units of inches per minute. Also, show the unit analysis by dragging components into the unit‑fac
igomit [66]

Answer:

6118.11\frac{in}{min}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm and 60 seconds equals 1 min, the resulting value results:

=259\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1in}{2.54cm}*\frac{60s}{1min}\\   \\=6118.11\frac{in}{min}

Best regards.
