32P can be used to make any nucleotide (A, C, G, or T) radioactive. Which of the following explains why this is true?

1 answer:

3 0

B. The answer is: All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P.

Nucleotides contain a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and, at least, one phosphate group. Exactly that phosphate group in the nucleotide has the phosphorus atom. Therefore, the phosphorus atom in the nucleotide can be replaced with radioactive phosphorus-32 (32P).

6. What effect does an increase in blood hydrogen ion levels have on the pH of the blood?

Alexandra [31]

Answer: the two parameters change inversely; as hydrogen ion concentration increases, pH falls. due to the logarithmic relationship, a large change in hydrogen ion concentration is actually a small change in pH. For example, doubling the hydrogen ion concentration causes pH to fall by just 0.3.

A gas occupies 900.0 mL at a temperature of 27.0 ˚C. Assuming constant pressure, what is its volume if it is heated to 132.0 ˚C?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

new volume is 1215mL

Explanation:

using Charles law , the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provide that pressure is kept constant.

$\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2}$
