What are 5 fun facts about cytoplasm?

1 answer:

5 0

You could google it... but here are some facts anyway:
1. cytoplasm is about 80% water but also contains dissolved carbs, proteins and fats.
2. the nucleus has its own type of cytoplasm that is slightly different than that of the rest of the cell. it is called nucleoplasm.
3. when cytoplasm is in a watery state, it is called cytosol and when it's more jelly-like, it is called cytogel
4. in an animal cell, cytoplasm gives the cell its shape.
5. cytoplasm is a good conductor of electricity.

A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is

avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

$P=IV$

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

$E=Pt=VIt$

Where

$It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s$

So the energy delivered is

$E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J$

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

$t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h$

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Tema [17]

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s

nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s
