Mumz [18]3 years ago

Answer:

Option 2= Glucose

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made up of two phospholipid layers and each contain phosphate head and fatty acid or lipid tails. the head is present between the outer and inner boundaries and tail is present in between. The small non- polar molecules can pass the membrane through simple diffusion. This lipid tail restrict the passage of polar molecules including water soluble substances like glucose. However, transmembranes are present that allow the molecules to inter that are blocked by the tails.

Facilitated diffusion:

it is a type of diffusion in which caries protein without using the cellular energy shuttle the molecules to the cell membrane. Glucose is bind on the carrier protein ,change the shape and transport it from one to another side of membrane. In order to absorb the glucose red blood cells use this kind of diffusion.

Primary active transport:

The cells that are present along small intestine use this type of transport to pump the glucose inside the cell. The primary active transport require energy to transport the glucose inside.

Secondary active transport:

It is another method of transport of glucose into the cell. This method can not use ATP but it is based on concentration gradient of the sodium that provide electro chemical energy for the glucose transport.

Calculate the specific heat capacity for a 15.3-g sample of gold that absorbs 87.2 J when its temperature increases from 35.0 °C
diamong [38]

Answer:

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold  = 15.3 grams

Heat absorbed = 87.2 J

Initial temperature = 35.0 °C

Final temperature = 79.2 °C

Step 2:

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q =the heat absorbed = 87.2 J

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 15.3 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 79.2 - 35.0 = 44.2 °C

87.2 J = 15.3g * c * 44.2°C

c = 87.2 / (15.3 * 44.2)

c = 0.129 J/g°C

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize
oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Classify the following substituents according to whether they are electron donors or electron acceptors relative to hydrogen by
igor_vitrenko [27]

Species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

<h3>What is resonance?</h3>

The term resonace has to do with the movement of electron pairs in a molecule. Inductive effects has to do with the drawing of electron density towards an atom or bond.

The two effects depends on the nature of a substituent. For instance, species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

The question is incomplete hence the exact nature of the substituents can not be determined.
