What would explain the change in the size of a gummy bear after it is placed in regular water?

Biology

salantis [7]4 years ago

Answer:

The change in size of a gummy bear when placed in water is due to the presence of gelatin in the gummy bears.

Explanation:

Most of the gummy candies, like the gummy bears are made up of gelatin. To make the gummy bears, water and gelatin are mixed and heated. Then, this mixture is allowed to cool. During cooling, the water evaporates leaving the gelatin in a chewy form.

When the gummy bear is placed in water, the water is absorbed by the gummy bear due to  osmosis. Hence, the gummy bears tend to increase in size.

Water is a hygroscopic substance i.e it tends to absorb water. So, this property of gelatin will enable it to absorb water and increase in size.

<span>The answer would be: as the bicarbonate ion in the plasma after first entering the red blood cells

Carbon dioxide will be changed into bicarbonate ion that released into the plasma. That is why the level of carbon dioxide will influence the pH of the blood. The process will produce hydrogen ion so higher carbon dioxide will result in acidosis. It is important to keep the carbon dioxide level at a certain point to prevent blood pH stable</span>

Which histone protein is not part of the nucleosome structure?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

H1

Explanation:

Histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 are known as the core histones which means that there are building nuclesome. H1 is known as the linker histone which binds to the "linker DNA" region between nucleosomes, helping stabilize the chromatin fiber.  The linker histone H1 binds the nucleosome at the entry and exit sites of the DNA, thus locking the DNA into place and allowing the formation of higher order structure.
