Answer:

-4.92 bars

Explanation:

<em>The water potential of a solution is the sum of the pressure potential and the solute potential of the solution. This can be mathematically expressed as;</em>

Фw = Фp + Фs, where Фw = water potential, Фp = pressure potential, and Фs = solute potential.

For a solution that is in an open beaker, the Фp = 0. hence

Фw = -Фs

Also,

Фs = iCRT, where i = number of particles the molecule will make in water (1 for sucrose), C = molar concentration, R = pressure constant (usually 0.0831 liter bar/mole K), and T = temperature (in kelvin).

In this case, i = 1, C = 0.20 M, R = 0.0831, T = 273+23

Фs = 1 x 0.20 x 0.0831 x 296 = 4.92 bars

Therefore,

Фw = -4.92 bars

Answer:

To summarize what we know to this point, the cellular process of transcription generates messenger RNA (mRNA), a mobile molecular copy of one or more genes with an alphabet of A, C, G, and uracil (U). Translation of the mRNA template converts nucleotide-based genetic information into a protein product. Protein sequences consist of 20 commonly occurring amino acids; therefore, it can be said that the protein alphabet consists of 20 letters. Each amino acid is defined by a three-nucleotide sequence called the triplet codon

leonid [27]

Answer:

A The mating of two particular sheep to produce thicker wool

Explanation:

Selective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is the process in which people will choose two parent organisms to breed and create offspring with desired characteristics. In this case we want the sheep to breed and produce thicker wool.

What is the relationship between the rate at which molten material cools and a minerals crystals

worty [1.4K]

The answer is; The slower the cooling the larger the crystals

Slow cooling allows the aqueous molecules of the compound to find a perfect geometry and grow into a large crystal. Fast cooling causes impurities to be incorporated into the growing lattice hence atagonizing the growing crystals.
