The answer is; C

Radioactive waste is dangerous because it continues to decay releasing radioactive elements and harmful electromagnetic radiation  that can destroy genetic material – hence cause cancer. The waste, therefore, has to be stored safety, and avoiding any contamination to the environment, and also for long periods of time until there is enough time for decay into less harmful products.

Now we need to prepare a buffer that has a pH of 7.4. We need this specific pH to
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

b) By mixing weak base with its conjugate acid and then adjusting the pH with strong  acid.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that the buffer required a pH greater than 7 where the basic conditions are present, we need a weak base and its conjugate base in order to assure such pH greater than 7. Moreover, by using a strong acid, we can gently add it in order to decrease the pH up to 7.4 via a properly measured neutralization of the necessary moles of base up to a hydrogen concentration of 3.98x10⁻⁸ (pH). Therefore, answer is b) By mixing weak base with its conjugate acid and then adjusting the pH with strong  acid.

Best regards.

hypothesize a mechanism to explain how tissues respond to insulin in different ways, even tisses that have the same amount of re
soldi70 [24.7K]
<span>The major effects of insulin on muscle and adipose tissue are: (1) Carbohydrate metabolism: (a) it increases the rate of glucose transport across the cell membrane, (b) it increases the rate of glycolysis by increasing hexokinase and 6-phosphofructokinase activity, (c) it stimulates the rate of glycogen synthesis and decreases the rate of glycogen breakdown. (2) Lipid metabolism: (a) it decreases the rate of lipolysis in adipose tissue and hence lowers the plasma fatty acid level, (b) it stimulates fatty acid and triacylglycerol synthesis in tissues, (c) it increases the uptake of triglycerides from the blood into adipose tissue and muscle, (d) it decreases the rate of fatty acid oxidation in muscle and liver. (3) Protein metabolism: (a) it increases the rate of transport of some amino acids into tissues, (b) it increases the rate of protein synthesis in muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and other tissues, (c) it decreases the rate of protein degradation in muscle (and perhaps other tissues). These insulin effects serve to encourage the synthesis of carbohydrate, fat and protein, therefore, insulin can be considered to be an anabolic hormone.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

              Streak test is used to compare the properties of different minerals.  

Explanation:

                    Streak test is perform on rocks to check the properties of a mineral or rocks. If you have a piece of white floor tile, You can use it for the test. In this test we rub mineral on a piece of white tile Turn your tile so that the dull side faces up. Take your rocks one at a time and rub them back and forth over the surface of the tile and observe the color of the powder left behind which will tell about the type of mineral.
