Explain how the terms atom, compounds, element, and molecules all relate to one another

Biology
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]4 years ago

For starters, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter- they make up elements, molecules and compounds. Elements most often combine with other elements as compounds. Whilst molecules are particles found in both elements and compounds. I hope that wasn't too confusing, but bottom line is that they are all linked together in this way! Helpful? :)

This is a molecule of glucose, a simple carbohydrate. If this molecule were broken down, would it provide all of the elements ne
xeze [42]

Answer:

No, it wouldn't provide all the elements needed to assemble lipids, nucleic acids or proteins.

Explanation:

As it can be seen from the diagram, the breakdown of glucose molecules will release hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. All these elements are needed to make lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. But apart from these elements, other elements are also required for the making of these compounds. For example, nucleic acid would require the elements nitrogen and phosphorus apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for its making. Proteins would need nitrogen, sulphur and selenium apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

I hope this works

Which organs are responsible for destroying old red blood cells?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Spleen is also known as the graveyard of RBC, if it helps u 

1.Stem cells in bone marrow make all blood cells. RBC lives about 120 days. 
RBC are destroyed in Spleen. This process takes place as: 
- RBCs are ruptured. 
- Heme and globin portions separated. 
- Globin > amino acids. 
- Iron transferred in transferrin into the blood > into bone marrow for reuse. 
- Heme > Biliverdin > Bilirubin > liver >small intestine. 



2.Reticuloendothelial cells participate in the destruction of senescent RBC's. The spleen is a well suited site of RBC destruction given that cells must course through 2-3 micron apertures in the walls of splenic sinusoids, which is an ultimate test of cell pliability. Rigid cells are entrapped and phagocytosed. Intra-erythrocyte inclusions are removed during splenic circulation. 
Destruction of RBCs happens within reticuloendothelial cells – NOT in the circulation. Globin and heme get recycled, porphyrin is degraded to bilirubin which is conjugated by the liver and excreted in the gut. Rate limiting step is conjugation. Indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin is result if this doesn’t happen. 
Normally ~10% RBCs lyse while in circulation Þ Hgb gets released into circulation and rapidly disassociates into alpha and beta dimers which are bound by haptoglobin. The Hgb/haptoglobin complex is transported to the liver. If haptoglobin is depleted, free Hgb circulates and is filtered by the kidney. Free Hgb is either reabsorbed by renal tubular cells or excreted as free Hgb in the urine. 


3. Another site reported that 
RBC destroyed in liver and spleen, by macrophages. 2 million destroyed per second. 
Hb is released and iron is recovered and returned to bone marrow.</span>

Which are factors of rock types that affect the rate of weathering?
lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answers are:

- Porosity;

- Moisture;

- Temperature;

The weathering is a process that manages to break up the rocks into smaller pieces. This process and its effectiveness and intensity are dependent on multiple factors.

The porosity of the rock can result in a very quick process of weathering. The reason for that is that the water will be able to get inside the rock, thus reacting chemically, but also if the temperatures are very low and it freezes, it will create a pressure inside the rock that will result in cracking.

The moisture is also important factor because the more water vapor there is in the air, the more the chemical reaction with the rocks.

The temperature is very importation because it can affect the rock with both very high and very low temperatures, to widen it little and than to tighten it little, which will eventually cause the rock to break up.
