Answer:

The answer to your question is: i have to answer correct first number three and second number one.

Explanation:

1.-regulate cell processes : Nucleic acids are located inside the nucleus and the nucleus is the brain of the cell, it says what functions must be done, then I think this option is correct.

2.- provide structure : Nucleic acids are large molecules but very weak, the couldn't be able to give structure. This option is wrong.

3.- transmit genetic information : The main function of nucleic acids is transmit genetic information, so this option is correct.

4.- fight disease: Nucleic acids are useful to transmit genetic information, and saying the functions a cell must do but fight against diseases is not one of their functions.

How many water molecules are created when 32 grams of oxygen react completely with 4.0 grams of hydrogen?

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

d. 1.2 × 1024

Explanation:

From the equation of reaction

2H2 + O2= 2H2O

i.e 2mole(4g) of hydrogen requires 1 mole(32g) of oxygen to produce 2mole (2×6.02×10^23 molecules) of H2O= 1.2×20^24 molcules of water.

NB: 1 mole of H2O contains 6.02×10^23 molecules of H2O

If 15.0 mL of phosphoric acid completely neutralizes 38.5 mL of 0.150 mol/L calcium hydroxide, what is the concentration of the

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Let me give it a try.

H3PO4 + Ca(OH)2 = Ca3(PO4)2 + H2O

Balancing this reaction

2H3PO4 + 3Ca(OH)2 == Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O.

Moles= Molarity x Volume

Volume = 38.5ml = 0.0385L

Moles of Ca hydroxide = 0.150m/L x 0.0385L

(Notice the units canceling out...leaving moles).

=0.005775moles of Ca(OH)2.

From balanced reaction...

3moles of Ca(OH)2 completely reacts with 2moles of H3PO4

0.005775moles of Ca(OH)2 would completely react with....

= 0.005775 x 2/(3)

=0.00385moles of H3PO4.

Now we're looking for its Concentration in Mol/L

Molarity=Moles of solute/Volume of solution(in L)

Volume of solution assuming no other additions to the reaction = 15ml + 38.5ml =53.5ml =0.0535L

Molarity = 0.00385/0.0535

=0.072Mol/L.

If this is wrong

then Simply Try The formula for Mixing of solutions

C1V1 = C2V2

0.15 x 38.5 = C2 x (15+38.5)

C2 = 0.11M/L.

Why did most of the alpha particles go straight through the gold foil in Rutherford's experiment?

andre [41]

Answer:

The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is because the atom is mostly empty space.

Those that passed straight through did so because they didn't encounter any nuclei.

Cultures glowing under UV light annotate transformation of the original bacteria with the pGLO plasmid. Bacteria without the pGL

victus00 [196]

Answer: Contamination

Explanation: This is a known contrainst when performing transformation in the lab. Normally the Pglo plasmid asides glowing under UV, possess a Amp gene that codes for resistance to the antibiotics Ampicillin. Transform cells will survive while untransformed cells will normally die. If untransformed (non glowing, non Ampicillin resistant) cells thrive in the medium, it is definitely a case of contamination. Start again but this time, disinfect appropriately bad be cautious of any potential contamination.
