Answer:

The attachment of a signal molecule to a plasma membrane receptor.

Explanation:

The attachment of a signal molecule to a plasma membrane receptor initiates a signal transduction pathway.

Once the target cell receives the signal molecule it converts the signal to a form that can bring about a specific cellular response. This often occurs in a series of steps called a signal transduction pathway. Signal molecules bind to receptor protein, in cell membranes, and generally cause a conformational change in the proteins. This change in conformation is transmitted to the cytoplasmic domain or part of the receptor molecule. The transformed molecule interacts with the information-relaying molecules in the cytoplasm. These molecules are small molecules present in the cytoplasm known as secondary messengers. Calcium ions and Cyclic AMP (cAMP) are examples. This further starts a series of chain reactions, which ultimately reaches the target gene and causes its expression or repression.

An object with a mass of 78kg is lifted through a height of 6 meters. How much work is done?

g100num [7]

Work = force x distance.

force = mass x acceleration

work = mass x acceleration x diastance

use acceleration of gravity in this problem

W (J) = m (kg) x a (m/s/s) x d (m)
W = 78 x 9.8 x 6
W = 4586.4

A telephone pole has three cables pulling as shown from above, with F⃗ 1=(300.0iˆ+500.0jˆ) , F⃗ 2=−200.0iˆ , and F⃗ 3=−800.0jˆ .

A) Net force in component form: $F=100.0i-300.0j$

B) Magnitude of the net force: 316.2, direction: $-71.6^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The three forces given in this problem are:

$F_1=300i+500j$

$F_2=-200i$

$F_3=-800 j$

The three forces are given in component form, where the components with unit vector i is the component along the x-direction, while the components with unit vector j is the component along the y-direction.

In order to find the net force in component form, we just need to add the components of the three forces along each direction. Therefore:

- Along the x-direction:

$F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}+F_{3x}=300+(-200)+0=100$

- Along the y-direction:

$F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}+F_{3y}=500+0+(-800)=-300$

So, the net force in component form is

$F=100.0i-300.0j$

The magnitude of a vector F is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

$|F|=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

where in this problem,

$F_x=100$ is the x-component

$F_y=-300$ is the y-component

Substituting,

$|F|=\sqrt{(100)^2+(-300)^2}=316.2$

The direction instead is given by

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-300}{100})=-71.6^{\circ}$

where the negative sign means the direction is below the positive x-axis.

Give two example for push or pull to change the state of motion of time two examples

dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

An Example of push as a force would be to push on a swing. The force moves the swing in a particular direction and the harder that you push the further the swing will go.

An example of pull as a force would be opening a door. ...

An example of pressure as a force is when you push down on a pile of grapes. is this what you mean

A car traveling at 22m/s is in an accident, and the 81 kg driver is brought to a stop in 1.4 s by in inflating airbag. What forc

larisa86 [58]

Here, F = m * a
F = m * v/t
Here, m = 81 Kg
v = 22 m/s
t = 1,4 s

Substitute their values,
F = 81 * 22/1.4
F = 81 * 15.71
F = 1273 N
So, Closest value from your options is 1300 N

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

a 20 of of ice at 0c is dropped into water at boiling point, specific heat capacity of water =4200 J/kg•c, sepesific latent heat

Contact [7]

Answer:

15 KJ

Explanation:

The quantity of heat (Q) required is given as:

Q = mcΔθ + mL

where m is the mass of ice, c is its specific heat capacity, L is its specific latent heat andΔθ is the change in temperature.

Given: m = 20g, temperature of ice = 0 $^{o} C$ , specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg $^{o} C$ , latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.3 x 10^(5) J/kg, temperature of water = 100 $^{o} C$ .

Q = m (cΔθ + L)

= 0.02(4200 x (100) + 330000)

= 0.02(420000 + 330000)

= 0.02 (750000)

Q = 15000

Q = 15000 Joules

Q = 15KJ

The quantity of heat needed to complete the conversion is 15 KJ.
