Answer:
<em>The correct option is C) OH</em>
Explanation:
In the field of chemistry, radicals can be described as atoms, molecules or ions which have at least one unpaired electron.
The formation of a radical occurs when a single covalent bond breaks so that each of the atoms that had been involved in the formation of the covalent bond can have an unpaired electron. Examples of radicals include OH, NH4+ etc.
Other option, like option B, is not true because a molecule of water does not have any unpaired electrons in its valence shell.
Answer:
depolarization leading to action potentials
Explanation:
The voltage-gated Na+ channels are responsible for rapid depolarization phase of the action potential. Action potential generation require depolarization of neuronal membrane which is acquired by influx of sodium ions through voltage gated sodium ion channels. If the Na+ channels are blocked, there will be no influx of sodium ions to cause depolarization hence action potential will not be generated.
Answer:
Calcium is a silvery-white, soft metal that tarnishes rapidly in air and reacts with water. Calcium metal is used as a reducing agent in preparing other metals such as thorium and uranium. It is also used as an alloying agent for aluminium, beryllium, copper, lead and magnesium alloys. Calcium is essential to all living things, particularly for the growth of healthy teeth and bones. Calcium phosphate is the main component of bone. The average human contains about 1 kilogram of calcium.
Explanation:
Answer:
The statement that is false is b)The nuclear envelope is continuous with the Golgi apparatus.
Explanation:
The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is not continuous with the Golgi apparatus; rather it is continuous with the exterior of the endoplasmic reticulum.
Nuclear envelope is a double-layered membrane built from lipid bilayer. The nuclear membrane consists of nuclear pores, which are made up of proteins and majorly function in the passing of selected substances in and out of the nucleus. Hence, all the other statements a,c,d are correct.
