Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Steroids are the hydrophobic molecules that can be structurally characterised by the fused rings and -OH group. The steroids since are hydrophobic therefore are kept with the phospholipids.

A sterol which is present as a component of the lipid layer is known as the cholesterol. The cholesterol acts as a precursor to a variety of steroid hormone-like estrogens,  glucocorticoids, progestagens and many others.  The cholesterol also acts as precursor to vitamin D and bile acids in the body.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

Answer:

C.sterols

Explanation:

Sterols or steroid alcohols are type of lipids. In plants they are present as phytosterols and in animals as zoosterols. They maintain the fluidity of cell membrane, act as signalling molecules and also form the skin oils in animals.

Cholesterol is an important zoosterol. It is a fatty waxy substance. It is present in cell membrane. It is also a precursor for vitamin D. It is precursor for steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. When it is non esterified, it gets converted to bile.

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of N (7 electrons): 1s² 2s² 2p³.

The orbital 1s is filled with two electrons and their spinning direction is opposite and also electrons of 2s.

3p contains (3 electrons) should fill the 3 orbitals firstly. Every orbital contains 1 electron and be in the same spin direction.

So, the right choice is c.

A is wrong because 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.

B is wrong because the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and also 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.

D is also wrong the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and the electron in the second orbital of 3p are in opposite direction of the other 2 electrons.

How many atoms are in 5.2 moles of Na ?
Nastasia [14]

One mole of a substance is defined by Avogadro as consisting of 6.022 x 1023 atoms. This is Avogadro's number. To calculate the number of atoms in two moles of sodium, use dimensional analysis. 2.0 moles Na x 6.022⋅1023g1mol=1.20⋅1024 atoms of Na

a sample of helium occupies a volume of 101.2 mL at a pressure of 790 mmHg. at what pressure would the volume be 120 mL?
AveGali [126]

Answer : The final pressure will be, 666.2 mmHg

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure = 790 mmHg

P_2 = final pressure = ?

V_1 = initial volume = 101.2 mL

V_2 = final volume = 120 mL

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

790mmHg\times 101.2mL=P_2\times 120mL

P_2=666.2mmHg

Therefore, the final pressure will be, 666.2 mmHg
