Calcium chloride, a deliquescent salt, is used as a desiccant in laboratory desiccators to maintain a dry environment. Explain

Biology

dusya [7]3 years ago
3 0

Deliquescence refers to the characteristic of exhibiting a water vapor pressure lesser than the surrounding air. This signifies that a deliquescent is used to absorb water. The calcium chloride is utilized as a desiccant as it is hygroscopic in nature and easily absorbs moisture from the surrounding areas and keeps the system dry.  

CaCl2 + 2 H2O →Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Delivered small RNAs can inhibit protein A production through the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism, and thus impairs angiogenesis  

Explanation:

The pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A is a protease enzyme involved in the formation of new blood vessels by increasing insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) bioavailability. Moreover, small RNAs (<200 nucleotides in length, generally 18 to 30 nucleotides) are non-coding RNA molecules that function in RNA silencing through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Small RNAs are widely used in molecular biology laboratories because they can be delivered into specific cells in order to silence target mRNAs such as, in this case, the mRNA encoding protein A, by complementary base pairing and thereby inducing translational repression. In consequence, mRNAs complementary to delivered small RNAs are silenced through RNAi pathways, i.e., by cleavage of the target mRNA and/or mRNA destabilization.
