Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

           Number of protons = 8

           Number of neutrons = 8

          Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

    To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

           1 proton has a mass of  1.00728amu

           8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

          1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

          8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

                                   = 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

                                   = 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

                             = 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

                              = 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

Explain why facilitated diffusion may need to occur and in what direction the particles diffuse in. Identify the molecules that
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Sometimes molecules cannot move through the cell membrane on their own. These molecules need special transport proteins to help them move across the membrane. Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of substances with the help of transport proteins in the plasma membrane. These special proteins are called channel proteins or carrier proteins, and they are attached to the cell membrane. In fact, they go through the cell membrane, from the inside of the cell to the outside. Facilitated diffusion is used for molecules that cannot diffuse rapidly through cell membranes on their own, even when the molecules are moving from high to low concentration areas. An example is the sugar plants and animals use for energy, called glucose. Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient so it does not require the use of cellular energy.

The genetic fault that usually causes colour vision deficiency is passed on in what's known as an X-linked inheritance pattern.

This means:

1) it mainly affects boys, but can affect girls in some cases

2) girls are usually carriers of the genetic fault – this means they can pass it on to their children, but do not have a colour vision deficiency themselves

3) it's usually passed on by a mother to her son – the mother will often be unaffected as she'll normally just be a carrier of the genetic fault

4) fathers with a colour vision deficiency will not have children with the problem unless their partner is a carrier of the genetic fault

5) it can often skip a generation – for example, it may affect a grandfather and their grandson

6) girls are only affected if their father has a colour vision deficiency and their mother is a carrier of the genetic fault
