Answer:
The person should not be concerned about radon.
Explanation:
<em>A person living on the sixth floor of an aparment probably should not be concerned about radon</em>. In the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere (temperature and pressure), radon exists as a gas. This gas has a density that is approximately 8 times higher than the density of air (9.73 g/L compared to 1.22 g/L). <em>This means that radon gas would not rise, and instead remain close to the ground</em>, meaning that an apartment on a sixth floor is too far away from the ground for radon gas to reach there.
A gas being denser than air is also the reason why if you blow into a balloon, it will fall to the ground, because CO₂ is denser than air.
Chromosomes have genes, and genes are segments of DNA.
Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of protein in a given sample. It is also known as the Piotrowski's test. This reagent consists of copper (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide. It detects peptide bonds by the reaction of the copper ions in an alkaline solution. The copper ions would form violet colored complexes when peptide is present in the solution. From this test, concentration can be calculated since the intensity of the color depends on the amount of peptide bonds and according to the Beer-Lambert law concentration and the absorption of light is proportional. The concentration is calculated by a spectrophotometric technique at a wavelength of 540 nm.
Answer:
1. There are so many ethical concerns about biotechnology, some Ethical issues that arise from the application of modern biotechnologies include:
Discrimination of individuals because of their health or health history as a result of knowing their genetic information, minimizing harms while maximizing benefits, Interference with nature, privacy.
2. a. Plants (maize, rice)
b. Fish (GloFish)
3. For individuals, biotechnology has helped in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. For society, biotechnology saves time, improves the health and quality of food through a reduction in the use of pesticides and it can create new viruses and bacteria that cause diseases. Biotechnology could address global change since more genetically modified plants are grown.
Answer:
Total Kcal energy produced in the catabolism of mannoheptulose = 1184 Kcal
Explanation:
The molecular formula of mannoheptulose is C₇H₁₄O₇.
The structure is as shown in the attachment below.
Number of C-C bonds present in mannoheptulose = 6
Number of C-H bonds present in mannoheptulose = 8
Since the each C-C bond contains 76 Kcal of energy,
Amount of energy present in six C-C bonds = 6 * 76 = 456 Kcal
Also, since each C-H bond contains 91 Kcal of energy;
amount of energy present in eight C-H bonds = 8 * 91 = 728 Kcal
Total Kcal energy produced in the catabolism of mannoheptulose = 456 + 728 = 1184 Kcal
