Aspirin is a weak acid with a pka of 3.5. it is absorbed into the blood through the cells lining the stomach and the small intes

tine. absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate of which is determined by the polarity of the molecule: charged and highly polar molecules pass slowly, whereas neutral hydrophobic ones pass rapidly. the ph of the stomach contents is about 1.5, and the ph of the contents of the small intestine is about 6. is more aspirin absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach or from the small intestine? clearly justify your choice. can you identify and describe other molecules whose absorption in the stomach is ph dependent?

Aspirin is a weak acid with a Pka of 3.5. With this Pka of 3.5, it is in a neutral or what is known as protonated  form at a pH below 2.5. At higher levels of pH, it becomes increasingly protonated or anionic, therefore, it is better absorbed in more acidic environment of the stomach. This is because absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate which  is determined by the polarity of the molecule. Charged and highly polar molecules pass, slowly, while the neutral hydrophobic ones pass rapidly.

Compare and contrast populations and communities
zloy xaker [14]
A population is essentially just a collection of all living things in one category. People are one population, insects are another, etc. Communities are "more organized" populations. Soccer players hang out with soccer players, spiders hang out with spiders. We split into "our people" within our population. 

I know that may be a little confusing, but if you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I hope I was able to help. Best of luck!

How is the information stored within the base sequence of DNA used to determine a cell’s properties?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The genetic material of most of the organism is Dexoxy-ribonucleic acid OR DNA which are formed of the monomer unit called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of a 5-C deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group and 4 types of nitrogenous bases mainly adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.

It is the sequence of these nitrogenous bases which determine the fate of a cell as these nitrogenous bases are read by the ribosome in the form of triplets called codons where each codon codes for specific amino acids. These amino acids bind to each other via peptide bonds to form proteins.

Thus, these nitrogenous bases control the important property of the cell.

What causes magnetic striping noticed about mid ocean ridges?
Bezzdna [24]

<span>
Magnetic Striping
<span> 

</span><span>The confirmation of the theory of plate tectonics relies on key insights and scientific experimentation.  One of these is the knowledge of the magnetic properties of ocean crust.</span><span>Early in the 20th century, Bernard Brunhes in France and Motonari Matuyama in Japan recognized that rocks generally belong to two groups based on their magnetic properties.  One group known as normal polarity has within its mineral composition a polarity similar to the Earth’s magnetic north.  The magnetic properties of the other group, called reversed polarity, is the opposite of the Earth’s present day magnetic field.   The reason, tiny grains of magnetite found within the volcanic basalt that make up the ocean floor behave like little magnets. These grains of magnetite can align themselves with orientation of the Earth’s magnetic field.  How?  As magma cools, it locks in a recording of the Earth’s magnetic orientation or polarity at the time of fooling. </span><span>The Earth’s magnetic field is similar to the field generated by a bar magnet with its north end nearly aligned with the geographic North Pole.  Yet the Earth’s field is the result of a more complex, dynamic process: the rotation of the planet’s fluid iron rich core.  Scientists have known for centuries that the Earth’s magnetic field is dynamic and evolving.  The magnetic field drifts slowly westward at a rate of 0.2 degrees per year. </span><span>However, over tens of thousands of years, this field undergoes far more dramatic changes known as magnetic reversals. During this reversal, south becomes north and north south apparently in a geological blink of an eye – perhaps over a period of a few thousands years.  What these reversals recorded were stripes on seafloor maps-- stripes of alternating normal and reversed polarities of ocean crust.  These “stripes” formed the pattern known as magnetic striping.</span><span>The ocean floor had a story to tell.  That story would unfold in the work of three scientists.  In 1962, two British scientists, Frederick Vine and Drummond Mathews, and Canadian geologist Lawrence Morley working independently suspected that this pattern was no accident.  They hypothesized that the magnetic striping was produced from the generation of magma at mid-ocean ridges during alternating periods of normal and reversed magnetism by the <span>magnetic reversals </span>of the Earth’s magnetic field. </span>

PLS SOMEONE DRAW ME Punnett square FOR THIS ASAP,
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Punnett square drawn below:

Explanation:

Sorry if it's messy. Since brown coat is dominant to black coat, that would mean that the genotype for brown is either Aa or AA. Since it says it's a pure breeding brown mouse and that all of the offspring are brown, that means that the genotype for the pure breeding brown mouse is AA. As for the black coated mouse, black is reccessive, meaning the genotype would be aa. So... AA x aa = 100% Aa
