Answer:The characteristics of red blood cells is that they are usually concave in shape, and usually have a fair bit of surface area on them. Immature red blood cells like reticulocytes are more squashed like. The function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen, and/or carbon dioxide to various portions of the body.

Answer:

<u>Cellulose</u> - It is described as a complex carbohydrate that forms the main constituent of the cell wall in most plants and is important in the manufacture of numerous products like pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.

<u>Chlorophyll</u> - Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.

<u>Chloroplast</u> - An organelle found in the cells of green plants and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place.  

<u>Bryophyte</u> - Any plant of the division Bryophyta, defined "sensu lato" to comprise the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and corresponding to all embryophytes that are not vascular plants.

<u>Pterophyte</u> - It is characterized as any fern(seedless plant) that is a division of Pteridophyta.

<u>Gymnosperm</u> - Any plant such as a conifer whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovary or those who don't bear seeds or fruits. Example; Cycads.

<u>Cone</u> - A cone-shaped flower head of various plants like banksias and proteas.

<u>Angiosperm</u> - Any flowering plant characterized by having ovules enclosed in an ovary and thus, produces fruits, as well as, seeds.

<u>Flower</u> - A reproductive structure in angiosperms and often conspicuously colorful and typically including sepals, petals, and either or both stamens and/or a pistil.

<u>Cuticle</u> - A noncellular protective covering outside the many invertebrates and plants.

<u>Vascular tissue</u> - The complex tissues that consist of various cell types and primarily responsible for transporting liquid and other nutrients throughout the plant or animal body.

<u>Xylem</u> - A vascular tissue in the land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals that are taken up by the roots and also the key component of the wood.

<u>Phloem</u> - A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of sugars and the nutrients manufactured in the shoot.

<u>Roots</u> - The part of the plant which is generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body. It absorbs and stores water and nutrients, and in some plants is able to perform vegetative propagation.

<u>Root hairs</u> - The rhizoid of a vascular plant or a tabular outgrowth of a trichoblast, hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.

<u>Stems</u> - The above-ground stalk of a vascular plant that supports individual parts of a plant like leaves, flower, fruits, etc.

<u>Leaves</u> - The green and flat organ that represents the most prominent feature of the most vegetative plants.

<u>Photosynthesis</u> - The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. For example; Plants use air, water, along with sunlight to synthesize their food(carbohydrates and waste oxygen).

Which of the following samples will have the greatest volume at STP?a. 22 g Neb. 22 g Hec. 22 g O2d. 22 g Cl2 e. All have the sa
sammy [17]

Answer:

22g of He

Explanation:

Volume of gas at STP is given as :

Volume occupied(dm³) = number of moles x 22.4dm³mol⁻¹

In order to solve this given problem, we would first find the number of moles from the different masses of atoms and molecules given.

Number of moles = \frac{mass }{Molar mass}

Now, let us obtain the molar mass of the given atoms and elements:

For Ne; molar mass is the atomic mass = 20gmol⁻¹

      He = 4gmol⁻¹

      O₂ = (16 x2)gmol⁻¹  = 32gmol⁻¹

      Cl₂ = (35.5x2)gmol⁻¹ = 71gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Ne = \frac{22}{20} = 1.1mol

Volume occupied by Ne at STP = 1.1 x 22.4 = 24.64dm³

       

Number of moles of He = \frac{22}{4} = 5.5mol

Volume occupied by He at STP = 5.5 x 22.4 = 123.2dm³

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{22}{32}  = 0.688mol

Volume occupied by O₂ at STP = 0.688 x 22.4 = 15.4mol

Number of moles of Cl₂ = \frac{22}{71} = 0.3099mol

Volume occupied by Cl₂ at STP = 0.3099 x 22.4 = 6.94dm³
