Histamines are an important chemical in the body . what is their purpose in the immune system

Chemistry
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Histamine is a protein produced by <u>mast cells</u> in the body. It plays a very important role in the immune system of the body. Histamine is released in the body when <u>affected by an allergen</u>, e.g, pollen or animal dander. The immune system of the body will respond to such allergen by <u>making more mucus in the nose by releasing histamine</u>. There will be sneezing, itching, coughing and runny nose in response. This is a <u>basic defense of the body's immune system</u> to not enter any particle inside the body.

What is the reaction used to join the fatty acid to the glycerol molecule?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The reaction that is used to join fatty acid and glycerol is known as Lipogenesis.

Explanation:

Lipogenesis is an important anabolic pathway that helps in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol by joining glycerol with fatty acid by ester linkage.Lipogenesis occur in liver and adipose tissue .

             Lipogenesis takes place in our body to store excess fatty acid in form of triacylglycerol which is a complex lipid molecule.

What is the molarity of a 1.44 (m/v)% solution of an HCOOOH (Formic acid)?
AlexFokin [52]

This problem is providing the mass-volume percent of a formic acid solution so its molarity is required and found to be 0.313 M after the following calculations.

<h3>Molarity</h3>

In chemistry, units of concentration provide a measurable understanding of the relationship between the relative amounts of both solute and solvent. In the case of molarity, one must relate moles of solute and liters of solution as follows:

M=\frac{mol\ solute}{Volume\ solution \ in \ L}

In such a way, when given this mass-volume percent of 1.44% for the formic acid in the solution, one can assume there is 100 mL of solution and 1.44 g of solute (formic acid), which means one must convert the volume to liters and the mass to moles with:

mol\ solute=\frac{1.44g}{46.03g/mol} =0.0313mol\\\\Volume\ in \liters: 100mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=0.100L

Finally, we plug in these numbers in the equation for the calculation of molarity:

M=\frac{0.0313mol}{0.100L}\\\\M=0.313M

How many moles are in 8.2 x 10^22molecules of N2I6?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

First, find out how many moles of N2I6 you have. Then convert that to grams.

molar mass N2I6 = 789 g

moles N2I6 = 8.2x1022 molecules N2I6 x 1 mole/6.02x1023 molecules = 1.36x10-1 moles = 0.136 moles

grams N2I6 = 0.136 moles x 789 g/mole = 107 g = 110 g (to 2 significant figures)

In which step of a four-stroke engine cycle does the car release CO2, H2O, and CO?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{exhaust stroke}}

Explanation:

The four strokes are

  1. Intake: The mixture of air and fuel enters the cylinder.
  2. Compression: The mixture is compressed by a factor of about 11.
  3. Ignition: A spark ignites the fuel, which burns and produces CO₂, CO, and H₂O.
  4. Exhaust: The combustion products are expelled from the cylinder.

\text{The cylinder releases CO$_{2}$, CO, and H$_{2}$O during the }\boxed{\textbf{exhaust stroke}}
