A spheroidal bacterium with a diameter of 1 mm contains 2 molecules of a particular protein. What is the molar concentration?

creativ13 [48]

Answer : The molar concentration is, $6.35\times 10^{-18}mol/L$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of protein.

$\text{Moles of protein}=\frac{\text{Number of molecules of protein}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}$

Number of molecules of protein = 2 molecules

Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}molecules/mol$

$\text{Moles of protein}=\frac{2\text{ molecules}}{6.022\times 10^{23}molecules/mol}=3.32\times 10^{-24}mol$

Now we have to calculate the radius.

Radius = $\frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{1mm}{2}=0.5mm=5.0\times 10^{-4}m$

Conversion used : (1 mm = 0.001 m)

Now we have to calculate the volume.

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (5.0\times 10^{-4}m)^3$

$V=5.23\times 10^{-10}m^3=5.23\times 10^{-7}L$

Conversion used : (1 m³ = 1000 L)

Now we have to calculate the molar concentration.

$Concentration=\frac{\text{Moles of protein}}{\text{Volume}}$

$Concentration=\frac{3.32\times 10^{-24}mol}{5.23\times 10^{-7}L}$

$Concentration=6.35\times 10^{-18}mol/L$

Thus, the molar concentration is, $6.35\times 10^{-18}mol/L$

Which means of particle transport is shown in Figure 7–4 above?

sattari [20]

The correct option is D.
When it comes to movement of particles in an out of cells, there are two basic types of transportation, these are passive and active transportation. The passive transportation of particles does not require the use of energy while the active transport system requires the use of energy in the form of ATP. From the diagram given in the question, it can be seen that energy is involved in the process. Energy is mainly needed to move the particles against the concentration gradient since the inside of the cell is highly concentrated while the outside has low concentration. <span />

12. Compare and Contrast the relationships between the speed of electromagnetic

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Compare and Contrast the relationships between the speed of electromagnetic and mechanical waves as they travel through different mediums is explained below in details.

Explanation:

As per the mechanism, the waves can be distinguished as electromagnetic and mechanical waves. Electromagnetic waves are those fluctuations that have no mechanism to progress whereas mechanical waves demand a mechanism for their communication. Electromagnetic waves progress in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves don't have.

____ 15. which excretory organ eliminates water and some chemical wastes in perspiration?

Nastasia [14]

I think the answer is skin. Skin contains sweat glands which secrete a fluid waste called sweat or perspiration; nonetheless, its primary functions are temperature control and release of pheromone. Its role as a part of the excretory is therefore minimal. Additionally, sweating also maintains the levels of salt in the body.

According to the phylogeny tree, which two phyla are most closely related? Chordata and Mollusca Cnidaria and Nematoda Annelida

devlian [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option C is correct.

C. Annelida and Arthropoda

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Annelida and Arthropoda are the phyla belong to the kingdom Animalia. In these both phylum animals are consist of segmented bodies. But the animals in Annelida consists of a hydrostatic skeleton whereas the animals in Arthropoda consist of exoskeleton made up of chitin.
