Why do water molecules and the materials dissolved in water move through the plasma membrane slowly ?

1 answer:

4 0

Nonpolar and small polar molecules can pass through the cell membrane, so they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are two molecules that undergo this simple diffusion through the membrane. The simple diffusion of water is known as osmosis.

The bond dissociation energy to break 4 bond(s) in 1 mole of CH₄ molecules is:_____ **Any help would be greatly appreciated!**

frozen [14]

Answer:

The bond dissociation energy to break 4 bonds in 1 mol of CH is 1644 kJ

Explanation:

Since there are 4 C-H bonds in CH₄, the bond dissociation energy of 1 mol of CH₄ is 4 × bond dissociation energy of one C-H bond.

From the table one mole is C-H bond requires 411 kJ, that is 411 kJ/mol. Therefore, 4 C-H bonds would require 4 × 411 kJ = 1644 kJ

So, the bond dissociation energy to break 4 bonds in 1 mol of CH₄ is 1644 kJ

For IR radiation with û = 1,130 cm 1, v=__THz

Dmitry [639]

<u>Answer:</u> The frequency of the radiation is 33.9 THz

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Wave number of the radiation, $\bar{\nu}=1130cm^{-1}$

Wave number is defined as the number of wavelengths per unit length.

Mathematically,

$\bar{\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}$

where,

$\bar{\nu}$ = wave number = $1130cm^{-1}$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1130cm^{-1}=\farc{1}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1130cm^{-1}}=8.850\times 10^{-4}cm$

Converting this into meters, we use the conversion factor:

1 m = 100 cm

So, $8.850\times 10^{-4}cm=8.850\times 10^{-4}\times 10^{-2}=8.850\times 10^{-6}m$

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given as:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

c = the speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\nu$ = frequency of the radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{8.850\times 10^{-4}m}$

$\nu=0.339\times 10^{14}Hz$

Converting this into tera Hertz, we use the conversion factor:

$1THz=1\times 10^{12}Hz$

So, $0.339\times 10^{14}Hz\times \frac{1THz}{1\times 10^{12}Hz}=33.9THz$

Hence, the frequency of the radiation is 33.9 THz

In what way may drugs be used to affect neurotransmitters?

Orlov [11]

Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons. Although these drugs mimic the brain’s own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they lead to abnormal messages being sent through the network.

Other drugs, such as amphetamine or cocaine, can cause the neurons to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters or prevent the normal recycling of these brain chemicals by interfering with transporters. This too amplifies or disrupts the normal communication between neurons.
