The four classes of polymers are:

1. Nucleic acids. Examples are DNA and RNA

2. Protein. Examples are enzymes and hemoglobin

3. Carbohydrates. Examples as starch and glycogen

4. Lipids. Examples are triglycerides and phospholipids

The building blocks of nucleic acids are called bases and there are four types known as Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The building blocks of carbohydrates are glucose molecules.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

The building blocks of lipids are a combination of fatty acids and glycerol.

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 0.39 m and a speed

gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found by using the formula

$f = \frac{c}{ \lambda} \\$

where

c is the velocity

From the question

wavelength = 0.39 m

c = 86 m/s

We have

$f = \frac{86}{0.39} \\ = 220.512820...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A positively charged object is brought near but not in contact with the top of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope. The experime

Olin [163]

Answer:

The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.

Explanation:

This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.

Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.

So, the leaves move further apart.

(a) Two ions with masses of 4.39×10^−27 kg move out of the slit of a mass spectrometer and into a region where the magnetic fiel

sammy [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$R_1 = 0.072 m$

Part b)

$R_2 = 0.036 m$

Part c)

d = 0.072 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the radius of the charge particle in constant magnetic field is given by

$R = \frac{mv}{qB}$

now for single ionized we have

$R_1 = \frac{(4.39\times 10^{-27})(7.92 \times 10^5)}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.301)}$

$R_1 = 0.072 m$

Part b)

Similarly for doubly ionized ion we will have the same equation

$R = \frac{mv}{qB}$

$R_2 = \frac{(4.39\times 10^{-27})(7.92 \times 10^5)}{(3.2 \times 10^{-19})(0.301)}$

$R_2 = 0.036 m$

Part c)

The distance between the two particles are half of the loop will be given as

$d = 2(R_1 - R_2)$

$d = 2(0.072 - 0.036)$

$d = 0.072 m$
