The correct answer is correcting errors.

The prime activity of DNA polymerase is to synthesize DNA from nucleotides, that is, the building blocks of DNA. There are many kinds of DNA polymerase, which does an essential role in the replication of DNA and they generally function in pairs to duplicate one molecule of double-stranded DNA into two novel double-stranded molecules of DNA.

Apart from developing new copies of DNA, the DNA polymerase is accountable for proofreading the strand so that the misplaced or the wrong base pairs can be corrected. This maintains the veracity of the original strand of DNA, which is passed onto the daughter cells.

Chondroitin sulfate is abundant in the matrix of

3241004551 [841]

The correct answer to this is:

Chondroitin sulfate is abundant in the matrix of “Cartilage”.

A 1 unit of Chondroitin sulfate has a chemical formula of C13H21NO15S. It is usually found attached to proteins as part of a proteoglycan and is a vital structure of cartilage by providing much resistance to compression. Due to this, this chemical has found wide use as a dietary supplement for treatment of osteoarthritis.

Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions: Write an equation that gives the overall equilibr

RideAnS [48]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions:

$CH_3(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_2(g ) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_1$

$CO(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_2$

The net reaction is :

$CH_4(g) + 2H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + 4H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K$

Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant $K$ in terms of the equilibrium constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ . If you need to include any physical constants, be sure you use their standard symbols, which you'll find in the ALEKS Calculator.

Solution :

$CH_3(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_2(g ) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_1$

$K_1 = \frac{[CO][H_2]^3}{[CH_4][H_2O]}$ ...............(1)

$CO(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_2$

$K_2 = \frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}$ ...................(2)

$CH_4(g) + 2H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + 4H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K$

$K=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]^4}{[CH_4][H_2O]^2}$

On multiplication of equation (1) and (2), we get

$K_1 \times K_2=\frac{[CO][H_2]^3}{[CH_4][H_2O]} \times \frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}$

$K_1K_2=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]^4}{[CH_4][H_2O]^2}$ .................(4)

Comparing equation (3) and equation (4), we get

$K=K_1K_2$

Why does Australia get more UV light than the other parts of the world?

Nataly [62]

During summer, the Earth's orbit brings Australia closer to the sun (as compared to Europe during its summer), resulting in an additional 7% solar UV intensity. Coupled with our clearer atmospheric conditions, this means that Australians are exposed to up to 15% more UV than Europeans.
