Answer:

b. 2.25 x 10^-3 M

Explanation:

Please remember that according to Beer´s, law the absorbance is given by

A = Acl where A = absorbance, A is the molar absorptivity, c is concentration (M) and l is the path length of the cubette of used.

Now it follows from this equation that the absorbance is linearly related to concentration and what we are being told is that experimentally the linear equation obtained during calibration was:

A = 195 c + 0.079

We have all the information required to solve this question to solve for c:

0.517 = 195 c + 0.079 ⇒ c = (0.517 - 0.079) AU/ 195 AU/M = 2.25 x 10⁻³ M

What is the type of mutation represented by the amino acid sequence below?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Substitution mutation

Explanation:

A substitution mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is replaced by another in a sequence. This will result in the replacement of one or more amino acid in the amino acid sequence.

This is the case in this question where the original amino acid sequence was given as: Leucine – Alanine – Glycine – Leucine. After mutation, the following mutated sequence was produced: Leucine – Alanine – Valine – Leucine.

As illustrated above, one would notice that there is replacement of GLYCINE amino acid by VALINE in the mutated sequence, hence, it is an example of SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.

PLEASE HELP!! EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER PLEASE! :)

The formula for force is F=ma. Because weight is a measure of force, then we can substitute the weight of the meteor, 3204 N, for F in the the equation for force. We also know that the acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s^2. To find the mass, simply divide both sides of the equation by the value of acceleration to get
m =   \frac{f}{a}  =  \frac{3204}{9.8}  = 326.9
Therefore, the value of the mass of the meteor is 326.9 kg.

Name 3 things that rainforest and deserts have in common
Arturiano [62]
Some similarities between deserts and rainforests are that they support complex ecosystems, are powered by the sun/photosynthetic plants, are dangerous/mostly uninhabitable for humans, due to both conditions and wildlife, and are found mostly in the tropics
