Answer:

40.7% abundance of Ga-71

59.93% abundance of  Ga-69

Explanation:

Given data:

Average atomic mass of Ga = 69.72 amu

Atomic mass of Ga-69 = 68.9257 amu

Atomic mass of Ga-71 = 70.908 amu

Percent abundance of each isotope = ?

Solution;

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of Ga.

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 68.9257

1-x for isotopes having mass 70.908

we will use the following equation,

68.9257x +  70.908 (1-x) = 69.72

68.9257x +70.908 - 70.908x = 69.72

68.9257x -  70.908x = 69.72 - 70.908

-1.9823x =  - 1.188

x=  1.188/1.9823

x= 0.5993

0.5993 × 100 = 59.93 %

59.93 %  is abundance of Ga-69 because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of Ga-71.

(1-x)

1 - 0.5993 = 0.4007

0.4007× 100= 40.7 %

40.7 % for Ga-71.

Which of the following statements about steroid hormones is true?
Len [333]

Answer:

B. They bind to carrier proteins in order to be transported in the blood to

their target cells.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are belongs to the class of chemical compound called steroid. Steroid hormones are majorly secreted by three glands - ovaries, testes and adrenal cortex.

Steroid hormones are released in the blood and are allowed to bind to the specific carrier proteins such as corticosteroid-binding globulin and albumin which helps them to carry to the target cells for the functioning.

The steroid hormone binds to receptor proteins in the target cell and not in the plasma membrane

Hence, the correct answer is "B. They bind to carrier proteins in order to be transported in the blood to  their target cells."
