What is the water potential of a .20 M solution of sucrose in an open beaker at 23 degrees Celsius?

Biology
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
3 0

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

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct? a. The two
Mandarinka [93]

Question is incomplete ,complete question is as follows :

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct?

1) The two proteins are very likely related evolutionarily.

2) The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a conservative change (such L for I).

3) The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a nonconservative change (such as D for A).

4) There is no correlation between the two proteins since they originate from very different species.

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct?

A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

B) Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct.

C) Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

D) All of the listed statements are correct.

Answer:

A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Explanation:

As the Human and sperm whale myoglobin  are very likely related evolutionarily hence option a is correct.

The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a conservative change (such as L for I) hence option b is also correct.

While all the other options are not correct.

suter [353]
Rickets is the disease in children in which an inefficient mineralization of the bone forming tissue causes deformities. This condition results in weak or soft bones in children, normally due to an extreme and prolonged deficiency of vitamin D. Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms include bowed legs, stunted growth, bone pain, large forehead, and trouble sleeping among others.

Why do you think it might be important to save plants that are in danger of being extinct
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Ecological importance

Healthy ecosystems depend on plant and animal species as their foundations. When a species becomes endangered, it is a sign that the ecosystem is slowly falling apart. Each species that is lost triggers the loss of other species within its ecosystem
