The salt bridge prevents the direct mixing of one half-cell solution with the other and allows ions to migrate from one half-cell to another.
Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

Salt bridge is used to maintain the electrical neutrality in a cell as migration of ions from half cell to other half cell occurs to keep the balance in charges. In the absence of the salt bridge, the charges get imbalanced. After that, the cell stops working because ions will collected in both the electrolytes until the potential difference due to ions and potential difference from the reaction is just opposite to each other. Due to this, flow of electrons doesn't takes place and no current will flow.

Therefore, the function of salt bridge is to maintain the electrical neutrality in a cell.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with lipid solu- bility similar to that of O2 and CO2. Endothelial cells lining arteries
svp [43]

Answer:

NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, we must consider that O_2 and CO_2, NO passively diffuses through membranes. As it is produced by an enzyme and accumulates in the endothelial cell cytosol, NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Best regards

How many moles of solute are in 53.1 mL of 12.5M HCI?
Deffense [45]
Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.

From this relation, we can figure out the number of moles of solute by multiplying the molarity of the solution by the volume in liters.

We have 53.1 mL, or 0.0531 L, of a 12.5 M, or 12.5 mol/L, solution. Multiplying 12.5 mol/L by 0.0531 L, we obtain 0.664 moles. So, in this volume of solution, there are 0.664 moles of solute (HCl).

Continental crust is younger than oceanic crust.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The answer is true.

When a crust undergoes great tension, a crack opens and the oceanic crust begins to form. As the crack enlarges, the continent is splitting. Thus an oceanic crust forms. So the oceanic crust is younger than the earth's crust.

Increasing temperature can:
umka21 [38]

The answer would be A. You cannot decrease mass because of increasing temp so it can't be C and adding neutrons or protons would be changing the atom and therefore the element, and that is not possible through just an increase of temperature, so it can't be B or D. Hope this was helpful! ;)
