You plan to expose your chlamydomonas culture to 100 nM colchicine to inhibit new protein synthesis. You need to treat 1 x 108ce

lls. The density of your culture is 5 x 107 cells/ml. The molecular weight of colchicine is 399.44. Explain what you need to do. Show your calculations.

Answer:

mass(g) of colchicine = 3.99 × 10⁻⁵g

Explanation:

Given that;

the number of moles colchicine =  100 nM = 100 × 10⁻⁹M

Density of chlamydomonas culture = 5 × 10⁷ cells/mL

∴ In 1mL of chlamydomonas culture there are 5 × 10⁷ cells present.

To decide the number of one cell, we need to use \frac{1}{5*10^7} mL of the cellulose

However, 1 × 10⁸ cells will be present in 1*10^8*\frac{1}{5*10^7} mL , which in turn give us;

\frac{10^8}{5*10^7}mL

Afterwards, to get the required 1 × 10⁸ cells, 2mL(molarity, since molarity=  no of moles/litre) has to be taken

If colchicine has to be treated, we need to determine the mass of colchicine that is required in the process as well;

since,  the number of moles colchicine =  100 nM = 100 × 10⁻⁹M

And, the given molecular weight = 399.44;

we can determine the mass of colchicine as;

∴ numberofmoles = \frac{mass(g)}{molar mass(g)}

substituting the parameters given, we have:

100*10^{-9}= \frac{mass(g)}{399.4}

mass(g) = 399.4 × 100 × 10⁻⁹

            = 3.99 × 10⁻⁵g

Hence, the mass of colchicine that is required in the process to make 100 nM dissolve in the in 2mL of the culture in one Litre of water  is 3.99 × 10⁻⁵g.

How dose land use change as the human population increases

Answer:

Land use goes up as human population goes up. This is because the more people there are alive, the more land that people will be using. Hope this helps :)

In Experiment 5, how did the shape of the epidermal cells in the outer skin surface slide compare to the shape of the epidermal
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. <em>The cells in the outer skin surface appeared flat, whereas the cells in the cross section were not flat.</em>

Explanation:

The epidermis is made up of five cell layers, which have different functions: Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.  

  • <u><em>Stratum basale</em></u> is the <em>innermost germinative, single, basal layer of the epidermis </em>composed of basal cuboidal-shaped cells. These cells are the precursor of keratinocytes, this is why this layer is also called germinativum. In this basal layer, there are also Merkel cells as well as melanocytes.
  • <em><u>Stratum spinosum</u></em> refers to the keratinocytes which produce keratin.
  • <u><em>Stratum granulosum</em></u>, this is the layer where keratinization begins. Cells produce hard granules that change to keratin and lipids as they ascend.
  • <u><em>Stratum lucidum</em></u> is conformed of densely compressed cells, which begins to flatten and appear indistinguishable between each other.
  • <u><em>Stratum corneum</em></u> is the most external layer, composed of dead, flattened cells which are released regularly in a process known as desquamation.
