Answer:

Primary active transport                                                                                              

Explanation:

In a cell, the movement of molecules like calcium ions (Ca²⁺), <em>to a region having high solute concentration from a region having low solute concentration, through the cell membrane requires metabolic energy</em> and is known as Primary active transport.

It is given that the concentration of calcium in the cell (0.3%) is greater than the concentration of calcium in the fluid surrounding the cell (0.1%). <em><u>So the calcium ions move into the cell and the cell obtains more calcium. </u></em>

<u>Therefore, the cell obtains more calcium by the process of Primary active transport.</u>

The combustion of gasoline produces carbon dioxide and water. Assume gasoline to be pure octane (C8H18) and calculate the mass (
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

3.09kg

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C8H18 + 25O2 —> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Molar Mass of C8H18 = (12x8) + (18x1) = 96 + 18 = 114g/mol

Mass of C8H18 from the balanced equation = 2 x 114 = 228g

Converting 228g of C8H18 to kg, we obtained:

228/1000 = 0.228kg

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 16 x 44 = 704g

Converting 704g of CO2 to kg, we obtained:

704/1000 = 0.704kg

From the equation,

0.228kg of C8H18 produced 0.704kg of CO2.

Therefore, 1kg of C8H18 will produce = 0.704/0.228 = 3.09kg of CO2

If South America were not there, explain how the direction of South equatorial current would be different
forsale [732]

Explanation:

South America land mass serves as a deflector for the South equatorial current. This deflection the current causes them to move in a different direction. If the Continent were not present the direction of the South equatorial current would not change and it would continue to flow in the west.

3 Which statement is not correct?
Trava [24]

Answer:

D: When the acidity of a solution increases, the pH increases.

Explanation:

It is totally wrong to assert that when the acidity of a solution increases, the pH of the solution will increase

The right answer is that when the acidity of a solution increases, the pH value decreases.

  • The pH scale records the level of acidity and basicity of a substance.
  • It runs from 1 to 14
  • From 7 to 14 signifies increasing basicity
  • As the acidity of a substance increases, the pH value reduces.
  • For acids 1 is the highest acidity levels.
