Answer:

65 L

Explanation:

It is assumed that the temperature is constant at both the sea level and the altitude.

<em>According to the gas law, at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.</em> Mathematically:

P1V1 = P2V2 where P1 = pressure at initial volume, V1 = volume at initial pressure, P2 = pressure at final volume, and V2 = volume at final pressure.

In the illustration, V1 = 15 L, P1 = 100 kPa, V2 =?, P2 = 23 kPa

V2 = P1V1/P2 =  100 x 15/23 = 65.22 L

<u>The volume of the hot air balloon at the altitude would be 65 L</u>

What are the similarities and differences between carrier proteins and channel proteins​
kvv77 [185]
* Channel proteins- these are proteins with a hydrophilic pore where specific ions are able to pass through the membrane. Each channel protein is specific to an ion. This is the only way ions can travel through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

* Carrier proteins- these are proteins which allow larger or polar molecules through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

Carrier proteins essentially “carry" signals that are not soluble in aqueous solution through the blood stream to their target cells. Carrier proteins for hydrophilic signals prevent degradation of the signal. Channel proteins are embedded in cell membranes. They often are receptors (though not always), and when activated, allow specific ions to pass through the membrane.

A channel protein is a special arrangement of amino acids which embeds in the cell membrane, providing a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions. Like all transport proteins, each channel protein has a size and shape which excludes all but the most specific molecules

The carrier protein facilitate diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. The protein is imbedded in the cell membrane and covers the entire membrane. This is important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.

What elements are rearranged to make glucose in plants?
Deffense [45]
GLUCOSE IS CONVERTED INTO CELLULOSE FOR MAKING CELL WALLS. GLUCOSE IS COMBINED WITH NITRATES (COLLECTED FROM THE SOIL) TO MAKE AMINO ACIDS, WHICH ARE THEN MADE INTO PROTEINS. GLUCOSE IS TURNED INTO LIPIDS FOR STORING IN SEEDS.

How is sunlight used in photosynthesis? Sunlight controls the amount of water in plant cells. Sunlight is a nutrient for plants.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Just looking at these answers none of them seem particularly right as sunlight is used as the energy source to make glucose meaning that it is used as energy to bond hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. The most right answer however i think is that it is converted into chemical energy.
