The building  blocks of protein are amino acids.

Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.

Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks  from which proteins are constructed.

The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH  group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH-  is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.

What types of mixtures are these? (Homogeneous Mixture Hetergeneous Mixture)
salantis [7]

Explanation: A <u>homogeneous mixture</u> is a solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample. The components that make them up are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout.

A<u> heterogeneous mixture</u> has components whose proportions vary throughout the sample. The components of a heterogeneous mixture are visible and not uniform throughout. A heterogeneous mixture is simply any mixture that is not uniform in composition.

a) Peanuts and almonds mixed  together in a bowl  : The components(Peanuts and almonds) are visible in a bowl and are not evenly distributed and also not uniform throughout. So this is a 'heterogeneous mixture'.

b) Bucket full of sand and gravel  : The components(sand and gravel) are visible in a bucket and are not evenly distributed and also not uniform throughout. So this is a 'heterogeneous mixture'.

c) Cup of tea and sugar  : The components(tea and sugar) are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout. So this is a 'Homogeneous mixture'.

d) Food coloring dissolved in water : The components(Food coloring and water) are evenly distributed and the appearance of the solution is uniform throughout. So this is a 'Homogeneous mixture'.

3. describe natural sources of radiation. infer some of the dangers that radiation can impose.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

All of us are exposed to radiation every day, from natural sources such as minerals in the ground, and man-made sources such as medical x-rays. According to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the average annual radiation dose per person in the U.S. is 6.2 millisieverts (620 millirem).

determine the number of possible product for treating the following compound with NBS adligh(Hv). Countsterioisomers as a single
lord [1]

Two distinct products of the reaction could emerge, both of which might turn out to be stereoisomers of one another.

<h3>What is the number of products?</h3>

We now understand that the chemical as demonstrated can experience monobromination, and the resulting compound is the same compound. However, due to the reaction's nature, we would have two steroisomers.

Given the reaction's process, we are aware that there are two distinct reaction products that may turn out to be stereoisomers of one another.

Uranium-238 undergoes radioactive decay according to the incomplete below. 238
Darina [25.2K]

The decay product represented by X : Thorium (Th) : ²³⁴₉₀Th

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Decay reaction

²³⁸₉₂U ⇒ ⁴₂He + X

Required

The decay product

Solution

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

In a decay reaction, <em>the sum of the mass number and atomic number of the elements in the reactants and products must be the same</em>

So the mass number of the element X = 238 - 4 = 234

Atomic number of the element X = 92 - 2 = 90

If we look at the periodic system, then the element with atomic number 90 is Thorium (Th)
