What is the structure of hair?

The basic protein of hair is the keratin. Keratin is a fibrous protein which is insoluble in water. Fibrous proteins are long and narrow strands. Keratin molecules are held by hydrogen bonds, giving hair its structure.

Hydrogens bonds are easily broken and formed; [for example straightening curly hairs. Hydrogen bonds are broken when heated, hairs are straightened, the hydrogen bonds form again holding its stucture (straight) unless water is applied which disrupt the hydrogen bonds.]

Hope it helped!

A protective layer composed of overlapping cells, like fish scales or roof tiles, but facing downwards. The outer cuticle holds your hair in your hair follicle by means of a Velcro-like bond. It also minimizes the movement of water (moisture) in and out of the underlying cortex.

Is the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas are know, which can most likely be found by using the ideal gas law?

Fiesta28 [93]

The molar amount of gas can most likely be found by using the ideal gas law. This is because the ideal gas law states pV = nRT. P, V, and T are the pressure, volume, and temperature, which are the known variables. The R stands for the Universal Constant of Gases; also known. Therefore, the unknown is n, the number of moles (molar amount) of gas, and so you would solve for n from the law.

Answer: A) The molar amount of gas

Name two elements that you would expect to have properties very much like those of calcium

neonofarm [45]

Atoms in the same group (column) of the periodic table have similar properties. This is because all elements in the same group have the same amount of valence (outer) electrons.

So, any element directly above or below Calcium on the periodic table would have similar properties.

These would be Magnesium, Barium, Strontium, Radium, and Beryllium.
