If a small child were to release a balloon into the atmosphere, what would happen to the size of the balloon as it makes it way

higher in the sky?
A) The balloon would become smaller because the pressure of the surrounding air would crush it.
B) The balloon would become smaller because the air molecules inside the balloon would get closer together.
C) The balloon would become larger because the air molecules on the inside of the balloon would expand.
D) The balloon would stay the same because the pressure inside the balloon is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As we move higher in the sky, the atmospheric pressure decreases. The relationship of pressure with volume is given by Boyle's Law.

This law states that the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

Mathematically,

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

If the pressure of the gas decreases, the volume increases and vice-versa.

As written above, the pressure at higher levels decreases, which results in the increase of volume. Hence, the balloon expands.

therefore, the correct answer is option C.

stira [4]

Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-glycine-alanine. This change was most likely caused by a point mutation called a <u>substitution</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any protein is synthesized by joining a number of amino acids together. This amino acid is placed based on the sequences of the DNA , for every 3 sequence there is an amino acid that is synthesized and therefore it is called as a triplet codon, since there may be many sequence for a single amino acid we call it as degenerate codon.

Which of the following is correct? Which of the following is correct? Most of the ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphoryl
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Each FADH2 yields about 1.5 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Most of the ATP molecules are produced by oxidative phosphorylation, not by substrate-level phosphorylation. During glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules per glucose are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation. Similarly, Kreb's cycle also yields 2 ATP per glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation.

For each pair of electrons transferred to O2 from FADH2 via electron transport chain, 4 and 2 protons are pumped from matrix towards the intermembrane space by complex III and complex IV respectively. It generates the proton concentration gradient required to drive the synthesis of 1.5 ATP molecules. Since oxidation of FADH2 is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP, the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.

How do I calculate a heart rate?
olga_2 [115]

Explanation:

To check your pulse at your wrist, place two fingers between the bone and the tendon over your radial artery — which is located on the thumb side of your wrist. When you feel your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply this number by four to calculate your beats per minute.
