Compare the roles of mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant and animal cells

1 answer:

5 0

Mitochondria help take energy from sugar or glucose and convert it into a simpler form, called ATP, that the cell can more easily use. This process is called cellular respiration, and the mitochondria plays a central role in it.Mitochondria are composed of two membranes.An outer membrane covers the organelle like a skin, protecting it.An inner membrane, that is folded over again and again to create a layered structure called crista, which is studded with proteins. The fluid inside these folds is called the matrix.Chloroplasts are very similar to mitochondria, but are found only in the cells of plants and some algae. Like mitochondria, chloroplasts produce food for their cells. Chloroplasts help turn sunlight into food that can be used by the cell, a process known as photosynthesis.

If the moon is a full moon tonight what will be the moon one week later waxing or waning

tatiyna

-- Starting from nothing (New Moon), the moon's shape grows ('waxes')
for half of the cycle, until it's full, and then it shrinks ('wanes') for the next
half of the cycle.

-- The moon's complete cycle of phases runs 29.53 days . . . roughly
four weeks.

-- So, beginning from New Moon, it spends about two weeks waxing until
it's full, and then another two weeks waning until it's all gone again.

-- After a Full Moon, the moon is waning for the next two weeks. So it's
definitely waning at one week after Full.

Consider an electron with charge −e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$ , $2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electromagnetic force between the electron and the proton in the nucleus is equal to the centripetal force:

$k\frac{(e)(e)}{r^2}=m_e \frac{v^2}{r}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

e is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

e is the magnitude of the charge of the proton in the nucleus

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

v is the speed of the electron

$m_e$ is the mass of the electron

Solving for v, we find

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$

Inside an atom of hydrogen, the distance between the electron and the nucleus is approximately

$r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11}m$

while the electron mass is

$m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg$

and the charge is

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Substituting into the formula, we find

$v=\sqrt{(9\cdot 10^9 m/s) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)^2}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m)}}=2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$

A galaxy spectrum has a redshift of 70,000 km per second. If the Hubble constant is 70 km per second per Mpc (megaparsec), how f

gogolik [260]

Using the Hubble law v = H₀d where v = recessional speed = 70,000 km per second H₀ = hubble constant = 70 km/s/Mpc and d = distance of galaxy.

Making d subject of the formula, we have

d = v/H₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

d = v/H₀

d = 70000 km/s/70 km/s/Mpc

d = 1000 Mpc

So, the galaxy is 1000 Mpc away from us.

A resistor, an inductor, and ideal battery, and a switch are connected in series. Just after the switch is closed, which of the

Marianna [84]

Answer:

b) the current and the voltage across the resistor

Explanation:

As soon as we close the switch then the current in the circuit will be zero because the inductor connected in series will not allow to change the current through it due to its inertial property

Since initial current through the inductor is zero so after connecting the key the current will still remains zero and then it will start increasing

The equation for current is given as

$i = i_o(1 - e^{-Rt/L})$

so as soon as the key is closed the current in the circuit is zero and hence the voltage across the resistor is also zero as we know

$V_r = i R = 0$

so correct answer will be

b) the current and the voltage across the resistor
