Biology

Travka [436]3 years ago

Solute potential of a solution is calculated using the formula,

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

Where,

Ψ_{s}is the solute potential of the solution,

<em>i</em> is the degree to which the solute ionizes(ionization constant) in solution = 1, as sucrose is a nonelectrolyte.

C is the concentration of the solution in molarity = 0.5 M

R is the gas constant or the pressure constant = 0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K)

T is the temperature in Kelvin scale = 30^{0}+273 =303 K

Calculating the solute potential of the surrounding sucrose solution:

Ψ_{s}=-(iCRT)

              = -(1 * 0.5 M * (0.0831 L.bar/(mol.K))* 303 K)

              = 12.6 bar

Therefore, the solute potential of the surrounding solution is 12.6 bar

The rate and direction of reactions are greatly influenced by
zlopas [31]

Answer:

reactions

Explanation:

Reactions occur when two reactant molecules effectively collide, each having minimum energy and correct orientation. Reactant concentration, the physical state of the reactants, and surface area, temperature, and the presence of a catalyst are the four main factors that affect reaction rate.

Arrange the order of events for the internalization of LDL particles into cells:
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The correct answer is "5-1-3-2-4".

Explanation:

Internalization of LDL particles into cells, is needed to form the intracellular vesicles known as endosomes. The order of events that allow for this process are:

5) LDL receptors migrate to the cell surface and cluster in clathrin-coated pits. Clathrin acts directing the receptors to the cell membrane region where endosomes are formed.

1) A combination of cholesterol and apolipoprotein binds to LDL receptors and becomes internalized as endocytotic vesicles. Once the receptors are in the proper cell membrane region, cholesterol and apolipoprotein are bound and internalized.

3) Several endocytotic vesicles fuse to form an endosome.

2) The environment of the endosome becomes acidic, which causes the LDL to dissociate from its receptor; additionally, the endosome fuses with a lysosome. LDL should be dissociated from its receptor since it is going to be degraded in the following step.

4) The LDL particle is degraded by the lysosome. This takes place after endocytosis, when LDL particles are transported into lysosomes once they are fused, cleaving the cholesterol esters into cholesterol and fatty acids.

Some interphase cells contain twice as much DNA as other interphase cells within the same tissue sample. Is this normal? Why?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Yes, Since the interphase cells in G2 would have twice the DNA as the interphase cells in G1 phase or start of S phase.

Explanation:

Interphase has three stages: G1, S and G2 phase. DNA replication occurs in the S phase and doubles the DNA content of the cell. So, the DNA content of the interphase cells of the same tissue depends on stages of interphase.  

The interphase cells which are in the G1 phase has half the DNA content as it is present in the interphase that has entered the G2 phase after completion of DNA replication in S phase.
