The body uses atoms in different ways to accomplish different tasks. For example, one portion of the body's calcium supply stren

gthens bones, whereas another portion combines with proteins to stimulate blood clotting after tissue injury. Which of the following statements provides the most logical chemical explanation of calcium's ability to perform such different functions?a. The calcium in blood is a more reactive form of the atom and therefore has fewer protons than the calcium in bone.
b. there are many different isotopes of calcium, and the most reactive isotope is found in the bone.
c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.
d. the calcium in blood has a lighter atomic mass than the calcium in bone and is in a more reactive form.

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.

Explanation:

The most abundant metallic element found in the human body is calcium as it is present in the bones teeth and metabolism of the kidney

99 %  of the calcium in the human body are found in the bones while the remaining 1 % circulates in the blood as ions

The bones of the vertebrate are made up of calcium salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride.

How many molecules of water are there in 0.234 L of water
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

7.82x10^24 molecules of water

Explanation:

H2O=18.015 g/mol   Avogadro's #=6.022x10^23 molecules

0.234L x 1000g/1L x 1 mol H2O/18.015 g x 6.022x10^23 = 7.82x10^23 molecules of water

The value of h for the reaction below is -73 kj how many kj of heat are released
jarptica [38.1K]
If the value of H is positive, it means you have to add that much heat to complete the reaction. If H is negative, it means that much heat is released during the chemical process. Because it is -73 kJ, 73 kJ of heat are released in the reaction.

If further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate, then an enzyme is likely
igor_vitrenko [27]

Given what we know, we can confirm that if further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate, then an enzyme is likely saturated.

<h3>What does it mean for an enzyme to be saturated?</h3>

Enzymes work by binding to the substrate in specific zones of the enzyme. The zones are known as the active sites on enzymes. Since enzymes have a limited amount of these zones, once they are all bonded to a substrate, we can say that it is saturated.

Therefore, the saturation of enzymes allows us to explain how further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate.
