By which mechanism would a steroid molecule diffuse into the cell?

Chemistry
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]3 years ago
5 0

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.

All of the following statements about solutions are correct Except?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A solution is a heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

This statement that a solution is a heterogeneous mixture is completely and totally wrong.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture.

Homogeneous mixtures have their constituents existing in just one phase.

  • It is a homogeneous mixture of solutes and solvents.
  • In a solution, the solutes particles are distributed uniformly in the solvent.
  • The solute is the substance that is dissolved to make the solution.
  • Solutes are usually present in a small amount than the solvent.
  • The solvent acts as the dispersing medium which allows the solute to go into the solution.
  • The solute can be solid, liquid or gas.

Which scenario best exemplifies the way a signal is passed down an axon coated with myelin sheath?
goblinko [34]

Runners sprinting short distances in a relay race and handing off a baton scenario best exemplify the way a signal is passed down an axon coated with a myelin sheath.

Axons are long extensions of neurons (or nerve cells) involved in the transmission of nerve impulses away from the cell body. Each nerve cell has an axon that is over a foot long. A nerve cell communicates with another nerve cell by transmitting signals from the branches at the ends of the axon.

Each neuron in the brain has long cables that meander from the body of the cell. These cables, several times thinner than human hair, are called axons and are where electrical impulses leave neurons and are received by other neurons.

In the reaction of nitrogen gas with oxygen gas to produce nitrogen oxide, what is the effect of adding more oxygen gas to the i
Alborosie
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Equilibrium would shift to produce more NO

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The reaction is;

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇆ 2NO(g)

  • When a reaction is at equilibrium then the forward reaction rate will be equivalent to the reverse reaction rate. Additionally, the concentration of the reactants and products are the same.
  • From Le Chatelier's principle, additional reactants favor the formation of more products while additional products favor the formation of more reactants.
  • For example, when more oxygen is added then more Nitrogen (II) oxide will be formed.
  • Oxygen is a reactant and when increased it favors forward reaction which leads to the formation of more NO which is the product.

Write a mechanism for the esterification of propanoic acid with 18O-labeled ethanol. Show clearly the fate of the 18O label. (b)
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

See explanation and images attached

Explanation:

a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.

b)  In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
