How does the skin protect your internal organs from the outside world?

Your skin protects your internal organs in so many different ways. I will name a few for you! :)

Protects from damage - Your skin protects your internal organs from damage such as cuts and bruising. Our skin is not incredibly strong, but it does make a huge difference compared to our organs being bare.

Protects from bacteria - Your skin blocks most bacteria from directly having contact with your internal organs. Most people get sick because bacteria is let into contact with internal organs through our mouths, noses, etc. Our skin does not let bacteria in. 

Keeps internal organs warm - Skin is not fur, it does not provide significant resistance to cold. However, it does make a big difference compared to bare organs. It protects our internal organs from heat by sweating, as well as cold by preventing too much cold from reaching our organs.

I hope this helped. Have a great day!

Which five statements about hemoglobin and myoglobin structure are true? Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen.  

TRUE

By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom.  

TRUE

Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to Fe²⁺ in heme.  

False. It binds reversibly with heme.

Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom.  

TRUE

Hemoglobin and myoglobin are heterotetramers.

False. Hemoglobin is a tetramer. Myoglobin a monomeric protein.

Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom.

TRUE

Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule.

TRUE

Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] is an ingredient in some antacids. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to neutralize the acid in
Allushta [10]

Answer:

1.95g of Mg(OH)2 are needed

Explanation:

Mg(OH)2 reacts with HCl as follows:

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O

<em>Where 1 mole of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 moles of HCl</em>

To solve this question we must find the moles of acid. Then, with the chemical equation we can find the moles of Mg(OH)2 and its mass:

<em>Moles HCl:</em>

158mL = 0.158L * (0.106mol / L) = 0.01675 moles HCl

<em>Moles Mg(OH)2:</em>

0.01675 moles HCl * (2mol Mg(OH)2 / 1mol HCl) = 0.3350 moles Mg(OH)2

<em>Mass Mg(OH)2 -Molar mass: 58.3197g/mol-</em>

0.3350 moles Mg(OH)2 * (58.3197g / mol) =

<h3>1.95g of Mg(OH)2 are needed</h3>

When the oxide of generic metal m is heated at 25.0 °c, only a negligible amount of m is produced. o2m(s ----&gt; m(s o2(g delta

(1) MO₂(s) + C(s) → M(s) + CO₂ (g),  ΔG₁ = 288.9 kJ/mol
(2) C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g),   ΔG₂ = -394.4 kJ/mol
By adding both equations 1 + 2 we get the coupled reaction:
MO₂(s) + 2 C(s) + O₂(g) → M(s) + 2 CO₂(g)
ΔG⁰ = ΔG₁ + ΔG₂ 
       = 288.9 + (-394.4) = -105.5 kJ/mol = -105500 J/mol
Temperature T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Molar gas constant R = 8.314 J/mol.K
K = e^{ \frac{-dG0}{RT} }
   = e^{ \frac{105500}{8.314 x 298.15} } 
    = 3.05 x 10¹⁸
