EDTA inhibits the activity of DNase during DNA isolation process.

DNase is an enzyme which degrades DNA using divalent metal ions like Mg^{2+} . These metal ions act as cofactor for the proper functioning of DNase.

EDTA chelates the divalent metal ions and thus does not allow DNase to access them.

Therefore in this way DNA is prevented from degradation during its isolation.

A student measured the mass and volume of an object using a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder. The sample has a mass
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

3.45g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of a substance/object can be calculated by using the formula:

Density = mass/volume

Where;

Density = g/cm³

Mass = grams

Volume = cm³

According to this question, a student measured the mass and volume of an object using a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder. The sample has a mass of 22.4 grams and a volume of 6.5cm³.

Hence, the density of the object can be calculated this;

Density = mass/volume

Density = 22.4/6.5

Density = 3.4461

To the nearest hundredth, the density of the object = 3.45g/cm³

Concentration of sodium (Na ) outside of the cell is lower than it is inside the cell. However, the cell utilizes a membrane pro
solong [7]

Answer:

True, by active transport

Explanation:

The influx and efflux of molecules through the cell membrane depend on the concentration gradient.

When the molecules down their concentration gradient that is from higher concentration to lower concentration are known as passive transport but sometimes the cell has to transport the ions against the concentration gradient.

When the ions move against the concentration gradient, they use energy in the form of ATP molecules and then transport the ions. This is known as active transport.

In the given question, since the sodium ions move inside the cell against the concentration gradient by the active transport.
