Rzqust [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The building blocks or monomers of proteins are called amino acids. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids. The amino acids form long chains that are proteins. Therefore, proteins are polymers of amino acids.

Proteins are very important for the body because they have many different roles. They provide structure for tissues, act as enzymes, hormones and antibodies, aid in transportation and fluid regulation.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. a polymer of amino acids.

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is:
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

energy

Explanation:

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is energy and this energy is released during de-excitation process.

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

Describe how cells are organized into larger and larger groups to help living things survive
mestny [16]
Cells are organized into tissues. Tissues carry out specific functions. Groups of tissues can then form organs that also have specific functions to carry out. Lastly groups of organs form organ systems that regulate many functions in a specific part of the body.

Given the following data:
bagirrra123 [75]

176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}

As long as the equation in question can be expressed as the sum of the three equations with known enthalpy change, its \Delta H can be determined with the Hess's Law. The key is to find the appropriate coefficient for each of the given equations.

Let the three equations with \Delta H given be denoted as (1), (2), (3), and the last equation (4). Let a, b, and c be letters such that a \times (1) + b \times (2) + c \times (3) = (4). This relationship shall hold for all chemicals involved.

There are three unknowns; it would thus take at least three equations to find their values. Species present on both sides of the equation would cancel out. Thus, let coefficients on the reactant side be positive and those on the product side be negative, such that duplicates would cancel out arithmetically. For instance, 3 + (-1) = 2 shall resemble the number of \text{H}_2 left on the product side when the second equation is directly added to the third. Similarly

  • \text{NH}_4 \text{Cl} \; (s): -2 \; a = 1
  • \text{NH}_3\; (g): -2 \; b = -1
  • \text{HCl} \; (g): 2 \; c = -1

Thus

a = -1/2\\b = 1/2\\c = -1/2 and

-\frac{1}{2} \times (1) + \frac{1}{2} \times (2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (3)= (4)

Verify this conclusion against a fourth species involved- \text{N}_2 \; (g) for instance. Nitrogen isn't present in the net equation. The sum of its coefficient shall, therefore, be zero.

a + b = -1/2 + 1/2 = 0

Apply the Hess's Law based on the coefficients to find the enthalpy change of the last equation.

\Delta H _{(4)} = -\frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(1)} + \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(2)} - \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(3)}\\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = -\frac{1}{2} \times (-628.9)+ \frac{1}{2} \times (-92.2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (184.7) \\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = 176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}
