What is the approximate hydronium ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration in a cup of tea?
Natasha2012 [34]

The hydronium ion is an oxonium ion whose chemical formula is H3O + or H + (aq). It is found in the solid, gaseous or liquid state (protonation of a molecule of water).


The concentration of hydronium ion is directly linked to the pH of the tea (or any solution) by this equation.:

C° (hydronium) = 10^(-pH)


if the pH of the tea is 6 for example, than:

C° (hydronium) = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-6).

Which of the following is NOT a function of a glycocalyx?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

  The incorrect assertive is letter C. it forms pseudopodia for mobility.

Explanation:

  The glycocalyx or glycocalyx is a wrapper outside the plasma membrane present in animal cells and some protozoa. The term glycocalix derives from the Greek glykys, sugar, and the Latin calyx, bark, a sugar peel. It consists of lipid-associated carobhydrates, commonly called glycolipids, and protein-associated caroboidates, called glycoproteins.

  According of all functions we have about glicocalix, the assertive letter C is the only is not a function about this structure. The other ones, like allows bacteria to stick to a host or the environment, biofilm formation and protection a bacteria about the drying out process are function of the glycocalix.

Regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and digestive functions are carried out by the ______________________.
Svetach [21]

Regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and digestive functions are carried out by the <u>autonomic nervous system</u>

<u></u>

What is autonomic nervous system?

The peripheral nervous system's autonomic nervous system (ANS), originally known as the vegetative nervous system (VNS), provides smooth muscle and glands, which in turn affects how internal organs work. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that regulates body processes like the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, and urination mainly subconsciously. The fundamental mechanism in charge of the fight-or-flight response is this system.

Through the brainstem, the spinal cord, and the organs, integrated reflexes control the autonomic nervous system. Control of respiration, cardiac regulation (the cardiac control center), vasomotor activity (the vasomotor center), and other reflex acts including coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting are all examples of autonomic functions.
