Answer:

1. succession

2. exponential growth

Explanation:

1. Ecological succession is how biological communities change, re-structure and re-assemble over time, usually after some change or disturbance, or occupation of a new habitat. Ecological succession usually starts with a very simplistic structure, with some founder species that begin, then over time (it could be 10 years, it could be millions of years), the population grows in complexity and develops.

2. Exponential growth refers to a specific pattern of growth that occurs when resources are not limited. This pattern is when the size of the population is always increasing at a greater and greater rate. The best example is in bacteria. When they are in favourable conditions, the cells keep dividing, doubling every day, leading to exponential growth until nutrients become limited and growth slows.

A binding protein binds to a ligand L with a Kd of 400 nM. What is the concentration of ligand when Y is (a) 0.25, (b) 0.6, (c)

Mrac [35]

Answer:

(a) 133.33nm

(b) 600nm

Explanation:

The concentration of Y can be determined by using the formula:

$Y = \dfrac{[L]}{k_d+[L]}$

where;

[L] = concentration of the binding ligand.

kd = 400 nm

Thus:

When Y = 0.25; we get :

$0.25 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}$

0.25 (400 + [L]) = [L]

100 + 0.25[L] = [L]

100 = [L] - 0.25 [L]

100 = 0.75 [L]

[L] = 100/0.75

[L] = 133.33 nm

At, Y = 0.6

$0.6 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}$

0.6 (400 + [L]) = [L]

240 + 0.6[L] = [L]

240 = [L] - 0.6 [L]

240 = 0.4 [L]

[L] = 240/0.4

[L] = 600 nm

At, Y = 0.95

$0.95 = \dfrac{[L]}{400+[L]}$

0.95 (400 + [L]) = [L]

380 + 0.95[L] = [L]

380 = [L] - 0.95 [L]

380 = 0.05 [L]

[L] = 380/0.05

[L] = 7600 nm

water is conductor or insluator? nails are conductor or insulator? key chains are conductor or insulator?

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water is a conductor if it has solutes/ions dissolved in it(tapwater for example)

but pure water is not a good conductor of electricity.

Nails and keychains(made of metal) are conductors of electricity.

A student listed the characteristics of chemical and nuclear reactions.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

D. It is a chemical reaction because the total mass remains the same when new substances are formed.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation which show the reactant and products. Reactants are written on left side of arrow while products are written on right side. The number of atoms are remain same however arrangement of atoms is different on both side.

For example:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen. The number of atoms are same on both side however arrangement of atoms is different.

While in case of nuclear reaction small change in mass take place.

please help!!!!!! What is the mass of 1 mole of magnesium (Mg)? Express your answer to four significant figures. The mass of 1 m

Semmy [17]

I believe you just look at your periodic table for this value. I don't think there is any math involved.
Therefore one mole of Mg = 24.305g.

Predict whether ΔS° is greater than, less than, or approximately zero for each of the following reactions, and explain your choi

inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .

If in a reaction , more number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

If in a reaction , less number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will decrease , i.e. Δ°S < 0

From the question ,

( a ) NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 5 = 6

Product - 4 + 6 = 10 ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

( b ) CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 2 = 3

Product - 1 + 2 = 3 ,

Since ,

Both the side the value of gaseous atoms are , hence , Δ°S = 0 .

( c ) CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant = 0

Product - 0 + 1 = 1 ,

Since ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
