Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that consists of same or different type of atoms in a fixed ratio by mass. Whereas an element is a substance that contains same type of atoms.

For example, both CH_{4} and C_{4}H_{10} are compounds that consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

In CH_{4} compound, there is only one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.

On the other hand, in C_{4}H_{10} compound there are four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement they are compounds made of the same two elements, but each contain different numbers of atoms, best compares the given chemicals.

They are compounds made of the same two elements, but each contain different numbers of atoms.

CH4 means "One C, and four H's are in this molecule"
C4H10 means "Four C, and ten H's are in this one."

Which statement about fungal cell walls is false? Fungal cell walls are similar in function to the cell walls of many protists,
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Cell walls prevent cells from dying in hypertonic conditions.

Explanation:

The cell wall is a rigid structure, essential for the survival of fungi, and knowledge of its composition may be useful for the development of new antifungal drugs. This wall does not alter the characteristics of the fungus, it stimulates and presses the fungus to flourish.

The fungal cell walls are similar in function to the cell walls of many protists, bacteria and plants. They prevent cells from bursting in hypotonic environments, but are unable to prevent cells from dying in hypertonic conditions. These cell walls also provide the cell with a degree of physical environmental protection and differ in the molecular composition of plant cell walls, as the fungal cell walls are chitin, while the plant cell walls are formed by cellulose.

What characterizes depolarization, the first phase of the action potential? The membrane potential changes to a less negative (b
svp [43]

Answer:

Option (2).

Explanation:

The cell potential or membrane potential may be defined as the difference in the electric potential between inside and outside of the cell. The membrane potential of the cell changes during the propagation of action potential.

The resting membrane potential is -70mV. The influx of sodium ions causes the depolarization of the cell membrane. The cell potential changes from -70mV to + 30mV. The membrane potential becomes more positive during the depolarization phase.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
