Answer: Directly through the phospholipid membrane

Explanation:

The cell membrane consist of a phospholipid bilayers structure. In the interior of the membrane, the phospholipid tail are hydrophobic, which makes the cell membrane to be selectively permeable, it is permeable to non polar molecules and impermeable to polar molecules.

Because Steroids are fat soluble, non polar compounds, they can diffuse directly through the hydrophobic, non polar core of the phospholipid bilayer without the use of carrier proteins.

Have people considered that aliens could possibly live without oxygen and water and we are looking in the wrong direction for a
bija089 [108]
I have never heard anyone ever say anything about aliens only living by using the same metabolistic processes as humans... But.. there may likely be another planet out there that does use oxygen, although at a different percentage from Earths. Anyways, even if we do find "other" life forms, who's to say that they're on the same level as us? Have you ever considered the fact that ants to us are like we are to other life forms out there and maybe they don't want or can't communicate with us because they see themselves as superior?

Hope that helps!

Write the reaction that occurs when propyl methanoate is hydrolyzed in water and in NaOH
Free_Kalibri [48]

An ester , propyl methanoate ( HCOOC₃H₇) when reacts with sodium hydroxide( NaOH) forms sodium methanoate (HCOONa) as the main product and propanol (C₃H₇OH).

The reaction is as follows:

HCOOC₃H₇+NaOH ⇒HCOONa + C₃H₇OH

So when propyl methanoate is hydrolyzed in water and in NaOH then sodium methanoate (HCOONa) as the main product and propanol (C₃H₇OH) forms

A rigid container is filled with chlorine gas. The gas has a pressure of 2.75 bar. The tank is then cooled down to -20.0oC at wh
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C

Explanation:

Given:

Gas pressure (P1) = 2.75 bar

Temperature (T2) = - 20°C

Gas pressure (P2) = 1.48 bar

Find:

Original temperature (T1)

Computation:

Using Gay-Lussac's Law

⇒ P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

⇒ 2.75 / T1 = 1.48 / (-20)

⇒ T1 = (2.75)(-20) / 1.48

⇒ T1 = -55 / 1.48

⇒ T1 = - 37.16°C

Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C
