Biological muscle cells can be thought of as nanomotors that use the chemical energy of ATP to produce mechanical work. Measurem

ents show that the active proteins within a muscle cell (such as myosin and actin) can produce a force of about 8.0 pN and displacements of 8.0 nm. How much work is done by such proteins?

Answer:

The answer is 6.4 × 10^{-20} Joules

Explanation:

This question wants to effectively test your knowledge of the names of the negative powers of 10, so first of all, before calculating, let me explain what each of the symbols in the units given in the question means:

Force = 8.0 pN = 8.0 × 10^{-12} N

displacement = 8.0 nm = 8.0 × 10^{-9} N

Now let us calculate the work.

work = Force × Displacement

work = 8.0 × 10^{-12}  × 8.0 × 10^{-9} = 64 × 10^{-21}

= 6.4 × 10^{20} Joules (in standard form)

in one sentence for each resource--water, food, and oxygen--explain how this resource helps provide power to the human body.
geniusboy [140]
Since our bodies are made up of 70 percent water, we need water to keep us from dehydrating, food is important because it has the nutrients and proteins that our bodies need to repair, grow, and  keep healthy, and oxygen is also important because it gets carried throughout our blood stream and oxygenates our muscles, without any of these, we would die within a few weeks

I need help on this biology question
vichka [17]

Limiting factors for snakes can include frogs, grasshoppers, farmers, pesticides, weather, climate, the environment, and various other abiotic and biotic factors.

Those specified however were also specified within the prompt. These are limiting factors because they can limit or help excel the snake population growth, yet in this prompt it is shown to greatly diminish the growth.

Hope this helps!
