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.

A gas that exerts a pressure of ? bar in a container with a volume of 0.5650 L will exert a pressure of 715.1 bar when transferr
uranmaximum [27]
Robert Boyle, the 17th century British chemist, first noticed that the volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when kept at a constant temperature. When working with ideal gases we use PV = nRT, but remember n, R, and T are all constant. Therefore we have:

PV(before) = PV(after)

P(0.5650) = (715.1)(1.204)

An empty Erlenmeyer flask weighs 241.3 g. When filled with water (d = 1.00 g/cm³), the flask and its contents weigh 489.1 g. (a)
miskamm [114]

The answer is- Volume of flask = 247.8 cm^3 or 247.8 mL.

Density (d) is defined as mass of substance divided by its volume. Thus, if mass and density are known, then Volume can be determined.

What is the formula of volume in terms of density?

  • Let mass of substance be 'm' and volume be 'V'. Thus, as per the definition of density, it is expressed as-

d = \frac{m}{V}

Thus, volume can be expressed as-

V =\frac{m}{d}

  • Now, mass of empty flask = 241.3 g and the mass of  (flask + Water) = 489.1 g.

Thus, mass of water = 489.1\ g- 241.3\ g = 247.8\ g.

  • Thus, mass of water = 247.8 g and density of water =1.00\ g/cm^3. Its volume is calculated as-

V = \frac{247.8\ g}{1.00\ g/cm^3}=247.8\ cm^3

  • Hence, volume of flask = 247.8 cm^3 or 247.8 mL.

What should be done to investigate the cause of the contamination of well water?
elena-s [515]
One way is for <span>a landowner to gather as much information as possible about his or her private water well, to know how it works, as well as who has had the land before them. The landowner needs to see if anyone has used pesticides in the area, as it can contaminate the well water. This is the most common way. The landowner can also check to see if any other chemicals have been spilt in the area or even a gas or oil leak, as that too can cause the contamination of well water.

I hope this helps.</span>
