The measurement 100.5 mL has how many significant figures?

Biology

kow [346]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The measurement 100.5 mL has 4 significant figures.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Significant figures are defined as the digits that provides information in order to maintain accuracy and precision of a measurement. <em>Any nonzero number, trailing zeros with a decimal point and zeros between two numbers are recognizes as significant digits. </em>

Whereas, the figures which do not contribute to sustain the accuracy and precision of the measurement are insignificant figures.

<em>The leading zeros in any digit and the trailing zeros without decimal are considered as insignificant figures. </em>

<em>As in 100.5 1, two zeros and 5 after a decimal is significant figure which are 4 in total.</em>

Endosymbiotic theory is a theory of evolution that eukaryotes came from prokaryotes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have the double membranes. Each of them also contain genetic material that are replicated with a separate cell cycle. Both organelles have their own ribosomes.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria

Describe how the functional units for beta carotene, xanthophyll, chlorophyll a, and chlorophyll b are different. be sure to ide
leonid [27]

The pigments have a similar structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls, hence move farthest in chromatography paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional units hence move slowly in chromatography.

Photosynthetic rates can be measured by either the amount of oxygen they consume per particular time period or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This is conducted while immersed in water so as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.

When autumn approaches, the amount sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis) during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from green to yellow-red.

It is believed that this is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic relationship between a protist and a eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over time.

What is the purpose of a vesicle
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:When a cell needs to move a molecule many times, it uses vesicles. Vesicles are cellular organelles that are composed of a lipid bilayer. You can think of vesicles as cellular envelopes that are used to transport materials from one place to another. Vesicles also function in metabolism and enzyme storage as well.
