Answer:
(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm
(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm
Explanation:
Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;
s = M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle
s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr
making r sbjct of formula, r = M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs
Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s
r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)
r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm
b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂
s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁
making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁
r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035
r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The first artificial use of a PGR was to stimulate the production of flowers on pineapple plants. They are now used widely in agriculture. Plant hormones are also used in turf management to reduce the need to mow, to suppress seedheads, and to suppress other types of grass.
