Answer:

3 ways to understand the differences between compounds and mixtures are described below in explanation.

Explanation:

1. In a mixture, no new product is formed. It is a simple tacking of two molecules without any chemical reaction occurring. For example water and sand. Compound is a new substance formed by chemical reactions occurring between various molecules. For example, carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide.

2. A compound is always homogeneous whereas a mixture can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

3. Compounds have a fixed boiling and melting temperature. Whereas, mixtures do not have a definite melting and boiling temperature.

Answer:

Lithotrophy uses inorganic molecules as the initial electron donors.

Explanation:

Lithotrophy is also referred to as chemolithotrophy is a diverse group of organisms using inorganic substrate of mineral origin to obtain reducing equivalents for use in biosynthesis or energy conservation. It acquires energy by oxidation of inorganic electron donors, although electron acceptors may be organic or inorganic. Lithotrophy uses inorganic molecules as the initial electron donors.

imagine a cell-surface receptor protein is being newly synthesized. How can it get into the membrane that it will ultimately be

motikmotik

Answer:

the steps for a new receptor synthesis:

Explanation:

Do not forget the steps vary from an eukarityc cell to prokarityc one.

IN AN EUKARYOTIC CELL:

1- Transcription: in the nucleus, mRNA is synthesized from the DNA sequence that codifies the protein. Exons are spliced if needed by spliceosomes.

2- From nucleus into cytoplasm: mRNA goes through nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm were ribosomes, substrates for protein synthesis and other organelles are.

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- (The mRNA has a signal that is recognized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum) The peptide goes into this reticulum (RER) and then into Golgi apparatus. (more chemical modifications are made if needed). By this moment the protein has an inserted portion in a lipid membrane.

6- The protein is transported in a vessel that finally fusions with cytoplasmic membrane and the receptor is in destiny. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

IN A PROKARYTIC CELL:

1- Transcription (no splicing is needed, there are not exons)

2- There are not nucleus and cytoplasm divided (no transport)

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- The mRNA has a signal that is guides the growing protein to cellular membrane. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.
