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.

Cobalt-60 is produced by neutron activation. in this process, one neutron is absorbed by the nucleus of the parent isotope. what
kkurt [141]

The parent isotope is cobalt-59 (see the picture below).

The mass number is 59 and atomic number is 27 of the parent isotope.

Neutron activation is the process in which atomic nucleus capture free neutron or neutrons.

Cobalt-60  is produced in nuclear reactors in process of neutron activation from parent isotope cobalt-59 (see the picture below).

Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 are the isotopes of chemical element cobalt.

Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

Mg(OH)2+2 HCI = MgCI2+ H2O
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCI ⇒ MgCI2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

In order to balance a chemical equation you need to make sure both sides of the equations are equal.

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCI = MgCI2 + H2O

Mg = 1

Oh = 2

HCI = 2

Products:

Mg = 1

CI = 2

H = 2

O = 1

2H20 = 1 × 2 = 2

2 × 2 = 4

2HCI

1 × 2 = 2

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCI ⇒ MgCI2 + 2H2O

Hope this helps.

What label is given to an orbital with quantum numbers n=4 and l=1?
shtirl [24]

The principal quantum number, <span>nn</span>, designates the principal electron shell. Because n describes the most probable distance of the electrons from the nucleus, the larger the number n is, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the larger the size of the orbital, and the larger the atom is. n can be any positive integer starting at 1, as <span><span>n=1</span><span>n=1</span></span> designates the first principal shell (the innermost shell). The first principal shell is also called the ground state, or lowest energy state. This explains why <span>nn</span> can not be 0 or any negative integer, because there exists no atoms with zero or a negative amount of energy levels/principal shells. When an electron is in an excited state or it gains energy, it may jump to the second principle shell, where <span><span>n=2</span><span>n=2</span></span>. This is called absorption because the electron is "absorbing" photons, or energy. Known as emission, electrons can also "emit" energy as they jump to lower principle shells, where n decreases by whole numbers. As the energy of the electron increases, so does the principal quantum number, e.g., n = 3 indicates the third principal shell, n = 4 indicates the fourth principal shell, and so on.
