Answer:

THE BOHR SHIFT ON THE OXYGEN-HEMOGLOBIN DISSOCIATION CURVE IS PRODUCED BY CHANGES IN THE CONCENTRATION OF CARBON IV OXIDE.

Explanation:

The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shows the relationship between the saturated hemoglobin concentration and oxygen. It shows how the blood hold on to and releases oxygen. The Bohr shift can occur as a result of changes in concentration of carbon iv oxide and other factors such as acidity or pH, 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, exercise, also temperature of the body. These factors contributes to the right or left shift on the curve. Carbon iv oxide prevents the binding of oxygen to the hemoglobin. The is because hemoglobin has the same binding site for both oxygen and carbon iv oxide. Carbon iv oxide increase also leads to a change in the pH of the blood through the formation of bicarbonate ion. Bicarbonate ion formation causes reduced acidity and therefore lead a shift in the dissociation curve for more of the carbon iv oxide to be excreted as hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen reduces. And when the concentration of carbon iv oxide is low in the plasma, acidity increases and this provides more affinity for oxygen by the hemoglobin.

Answer:

6005803.83105 short tons

Explanation:

The definition of density is $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$ , and the volume of a pyramid is (confusingly written on the proposal) $V=\frac{1}{3} Ah$ , so we can write:

$m=\rho V=\rho V \frac{1}{3} Ah=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h$

Where s is the side of the base, being $s^2$ the area of that square.

We will write everything in S.I., and the best way to convert units is using conversion factors, for example, since 1m=100cm, we know that $\frac{1m}{100cm}=1$ , and we can use this factor to convert anything written in cm to anything written in m. Example:

$500cm=500cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=5m$

Here we just multiplied 500cm by something that is equal to 1 (as every conversion factor must), so it's not doing anything but changing the units.

We can use this tool like this:

$2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}=2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}(\frac{1Kg}{1000g})(\frac{100cm}{1m})^3=2100Kg/m^3$

Where we have used the fact that $1^3=1$ (we can elevate any conversion factor to any number and they still will be 1) and where we have placed strategically what is the numerator and what in the denominator so the units we don't want cancel out and the units we want appear.

Substituting then our values:

$m=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h=(2100Kg/m^3)\frac{1}{3} (230.34m)^2(146.7m)=5448373586.96Kg$

And now we will convert to short tons using two conversion factors at the same time:

$m=5448373586.96\ Kg(\frac{1\ lb}{0.45359237\ Kg})(\frac{1\ short\ ton}{2000\ lb} )=6005803.83105\ short \ tons$

Remember, their value is 1, and we place the units to cancel the ones we don't want and keep the ones we want, here Kg cancel out, and lb cancel out, leaving the short tones.

To get the number of unstable atoms:
Column 3: take 900 - 90 = 810 The numbers from column 2

To get the Number of decayed atoms:
take the 810 * 10% = 810 * .1 = 81

Follow the pattern for the rest of the table.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The answer is the top choice. (-1)

Explanation:

We are dealing with a negative number here, so we should start at negative five on the number line. From here we see that we are subtracting a negative number from it, which means we are really adding. (Review your rules for negative signs if this doesn't make sense.) So we add 4 to -5, and we get -1. Thus, we get the top choice.

What is the kinetic energy of a 2,000-kg boat moving at 5.0 m/s?

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

25kJ

Explanation:

K = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2 x 2000kg x (5.0m/s)^2

= 25 x 10^3 J = 25kJ
