Answer:

A pure substance is different from a mixture in that <u><em>mixtures are made up of more than on component</em></u>

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance that is homogeneous and invariable (fixed), and it is not possible to separate or divide it into more substances. For example, water has the formula H2O and is always the same. This indicates that it is formed by molecules in which there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. If I changed that formula, it would be another different substance.

A pure substance cannot be broken down into other simpler substances using physical methods.

A pure substance has its own or defined characteristic properties.

A pure substance can be both a chemical element and a compound, which are formed by atoms or molecules of the same nature.

On the other hand, a mixture is the union of two pure substances or compounds (which have their individual properties), and have a variable chemical composition. They can be separated by chemical or physical means and obtain the components that form the mixtures. They are formed by atoms and molecules of different nature.

The mixtures can be homogeneous (whose composition and properties are uniform in any part of a given sample, such as sugar dissolved in water) or heterogeneous (those in which at a glance it is easy to identify the different components that make them up; for example water and oil or water and sand)

Given the above, it is possible to say that <u><em>a pure substance differs from a mixture in that mixtures are made up of more than on component</em></u>

b.) mixtures are made up of more than on component. A pure substance is like a diatomic element, like O2, while a mixture is more like a salad, and can be separated by physical means.

A protein that binds to glutathione can be purified using an affinity column where the solid phase is a cellulose matrix covalen

miskamm [114]

Answer:

High concentration of glutathione should be included in the elution buffer for the given experiment to remove protein from the column.

Explanation:

Affinity chromatography is one of important biochemical technique of chromatography which depends on the affinity of ligand for the receptor.Here the ligand is a protein mixture which act as mobile phase and the receptor is present in the wall of chromatography column act as stationary phase.When the protein mixture is applied on the top of the column the substances present within the protein that have high affinity for the receptor present in the walls of chromatography column binds to the later but rest of the protein pass away through the column.High concentration of ligand is used within an buffer solution to remove the desired protein from the column.

From this point of view it can be stated that in the given question high concentration of glutathione should be used to remove the desired protein from the column.

Compare and contrast cytokines in animal and plant cells

GarryVolchara [31]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Cytokinesis in animal cells occur by cleavage while in plants it occurs through the formation of a cell plate.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Cytokinesis refers to the process through which the cytoplasm divide in animal and plant cells.
It occurs after the division of the nucleus.
Cytokinesis in animal cells differs from that in plant cells in that, in animal cells it occurs by cleavage while in plant cells cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate.
In animal cells, cleavage occurs as a result of the activity of actin and myosin which results to dividing of cytoplasm in to two.
In plant cells, cell plate is formed by the fusion of golgi bodies on the equator which will generate cell wall and the plasma membrane between daughter cells.
