Which type of RNA helps to build the protein chain by bringing amino acids to the ribosome?

Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

If you were designing a lander to work on mars, where on earth would you test it? Why?

emmasim [6.3K]

Hmm good question. Well I would have to test it for where there are no living life. I would have to build another NASA in the County because there is plenty of room there. Mars is made out of Dusty Crust that is about 30 miles thick. And let's say that the desert's Dusty Crust is about 5 miles - 15 miles thick. That will give about the same amount of surface that mars has. So we would know what to build for a perfect lander to work on Mars. This isn't much but it is something.

What characteristics make pteridophyta different from seed bearing plants

larisa [96]

Differences Between Pteridophytes and Seed Plants

Pteridophytes don't produce cones, flowers, or fruit, unlike these seed plants. Instead, Pteridophytes produce spores. Spores are living, single-celled structures that are essential to the life cycle of many plants.

Based on the information in the chart, what can we conclude about the functionality of various sized beaks.

denis23 [38]

The correct answer is - B. Beak size determines what the bird can eat.

The beak of a bird can come in many different shapes and sizes. It can be pointy, long, short, rounded, scythe-like, thin, thick... All of those shapes and sizes have a specific role, and that role is to enable the bird to feed itself with certain type of food source. Every food source requires certain type of beak in order for the bird to be efficient in getting its nutrition, so depending on hat the bird eats, we can easily see a pattern in the beaks, where birds that eat nuts have one strong and shorter beak, the ones that eat warms and insects have thin, pointy one, the predator birds have claw like, sharp beak...

I dont know what to do can someone please help me ASAP

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

In the explanation. :)

Explanation:

Human powered generators are the best source for the rescue team. We cannot always depend on the sun. What if the sun is not out that day? What if it's a rainy day? What if the sun is what's causing the rescue team to come out? Human powered generators are sometimes untrustworthy, but at the same time we know that at least it's a step away. We don't have to wait all-day for the sun to help out. Of course, the energy from the sun is always going to be there and won't cause anybody hurt, harm, or danger, but at the same time we can always convert to human powered generators and they'll work just as perfect.

Hope this helps, have a great day!
