E = mc2 Meaning

At the beginning of the 20th century, the notion of mass underwent a radical revision. Mass lost its absoluteness. One of the striking results of Einstein’s theory of relativity is that mass and energy are equivalent and convertible one into the other. Equivalence of the mass and energy is described by Einstein’s famous formula E = mc2. In words, energy equals massmultiplied by the speed of light squared. Because the speed of light is a very large number, the formula implies that any small amount of matter contains a very large amount of energy. The mass of an object was seen to be equivalent to energy, to be interconvertible with energy, and to increase significantly at exceedingly high speeds near that of light. The total energy of an object was understood to comprise its rest mass as well as its increase of mass caused by increase in kinetic energy.

In special theory of relativity certain types of matter may be created or destroyed, but in all of these processes, the mass and energy associated with such matter remains unchanged in quantity. It was found the rest mass an atomic nucleus is measurably smaller than the sum of the rest masses of its constituent protons, neutrons and electrons. Mass was no longer considered unchangeable in the closed system. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together. According to the Einstein relationship (E = mc2) this binding energy is proportional to this mass difference and it is known as the mass defect.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unicellular organisms basically classified into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In case of bacteria the nucleus was completely absent but the replication and translation process were combined together. so there is no need of complexity. The genome is under control of one replication of origin i.e. the replication of DNA and translation for proteins synthesis takes place simultaneously and again no complexity. The organism is depend on these proteins and DNA for different purposes like fission, energy production etc.

If we think about Eukaryotes there is separate boundary for DNA and protein synthesis Nucleus and rest of cytoplasm with organelles. The complexity increases because of functional variations and functions occur at different times. So the whole genome replication is not needed every time and there are separate Origin of replications for segments of DNA (genes). Along with these there are non-functional DNA segments (introns functionally they won’t give proteins). To eliminate them there is a separate process after mRNA synthesis called post transcriptional modifications. After this protein synthesis takes place at cytoplasm. There is one more check point called post translation modification where protein modification (functional diversity) allocated. To adapt the changing environment, stress, reproduce and for any functions there is a wide diversity if we compare prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
