Answer:

Explanation:

When there is difference between the concentration of the content of a cell and the solution surrounding the cell, there will be an Electrochemical gradient or Concentration gradient. Therefore, some solute will tend to move from the region of high concentration to the region of lower concentration through the cell membrane.

Such a movement is called Primary Active Transport

Answer: the membrane transport used is "facilitated diffusion"

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion transport (passive transport) is a spontaneous transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via membrane Proteins that act as mediators. These membrane Proteins (transporters or permeases) speed up the movement of solutes across the membrane by facilitating diffusion.

Sodium ion, glucose ions and some other ions need to be transported across d plasma membrane which is made of lipid bilayer that is impermeable. For this transport to occur, a mechanism of bypassing or creating an alternative path across the plasma membrane is needed. This mechanism is performed by permeases(membrane proteins).

The membrane proteins act as transport facilitator by lowering the activation energy for effective transport of polar compound and ions.

Calculate the number of atoms in 3mol helium
OleMash [197]
 <span>The chemical formula of Helium is He. 

Question 1 : 

Given n = 1.11 x 10^-6 

To get no. of the particle, 
No of particle = no. of mole x Avogadro Constant 
p = n x NA 

1 mol of Helium = 6.02 x 10^23 

No of atoms = (6.02 x 10^23) x (1.11 x 10^-6) 
= 6.66 x 10^17 

................................ 

Question 2 : 

Given p = 4.29x10^21 

p = n x NA 
4.29 x 10^21 = n x (6.02 x 10^23) 
(4.29 x 10^21) / (6.02 x 10^23) = n 
n = Approximately 7.126 x 10^-3 

Hope the answer is right :)</span>

Group-8 elements are inert and possess
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Group 8 elements are inert and possess :

1. Low Boiling Points

2. High ionization energies

3. Electronegativities is very low

4. No color, odor

Explanation:

Group 8 elements are also called as Noble Gases. They are unreactive.

They have low boiling points means they remains monoatomic  at room temperature.  Having high ionization energy means that it is very difficult to remove an electron from its valence shell.

How far can sound travel through rubber per second?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air. This is why whales can communicate over huge distances in the oceans. Sound waves travel about thirteen times faster in wood than air. They also travel faster on hotter days as the molecules bump into each other more often than when it is cold.
