3 0

Sodium potassium pump is an active pump which transfer sodium and potassium ions across the membrane with the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP.

This kind of pump is generally used in nerve cells.

The pump works against the concentration gradient as the pump moves three Na+ ions outside the cell and two K+ ions inside the cell, though there is a high concentration of Na+ outside the cell and a low concentration of K+ outside the cell.

Some fats are called "saturated" fats because __________. Select one: a. their carbon skeleton is bent to form four fused rings

marin [14]

Answer:

All carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Saturated fats are class of compounds having all the fatty acids containing only single bonds. In other words, carbon skeleton has only single bonds.

Unsaturated compounds undergoes hydrogenation to form saturated fats.

In hydrogenation, hydrogen atoms are added to the carbon attached to double bond. After become saturated, no more hydrogen atoms can be added.

Therefore, it can be said that in saturated fats all carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

Answer:

the physical and chemical properties of the products are different from the reactants

Explanation:

A chemical reaction involves the chemical combination of two or more elements/compounds called Reactants to give one or more different elements/compounds called Products. A chemical reaction occurs in such a way that the atoms of the reactants are restructured to form product(s) that is/are entirely different from the reactants.

In a chemical reaction, the physical and chemical properties of the products differ from that of the reactants since different chemical compounds/elements are formed as products. The physical properties of a substance, which include colour, melting and boiling point etc. will differ in the reactants and products formed. Also, the chemical structure and identity of the reactants will be changed to give rise to a different chemical property in the products.

Use the periodic table to select the element that best fits each of the following descriptions. which element below has properti

xenn [34]

Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)

Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).

Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
