We can calculate how long the decay by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.
</span><span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.
</span>
1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(30)
<span>k = 0.023
</span>
0.04Ao = Ao e^0.023(t)
<span>t = 140 sec</span>

What is the fate of glucose 6‑phosphate, glycolytic intermediates, and pentose phosphate pathway intermediates in this cell? Gly
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The Phosphorylated  glucose(glucose +inorganic phosphate), with the energy supplied from ATP hydrolysis formed glucose 6- phosphate, which is later converted to 2 molecules of fructose 6-phosphate- this is phosphorylation.And  represented the fate of  glucose -6-phosphate.

The fructose 6-phosphate are converted to triose phosphate- which is a 2-molecules of 3C compound. The latter is oxidized by NAD→ NADH+ to form intermediates in the glycolytic pathways .

These intermediates are converted to ribose 5-phosphates in the presence of transketolase  and transaldolase enzymes.And they are finally   converted to pyruvate in the glycolytic pathway with the production of 2ATPs per molecule of glucose.

Basically the phosphate pathway reaction is very slow due to enzyme catalysis.

A system gains 687 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to 156 kJ. How much work is done?
Maslowich

Answer:

w = -531 kJ

1. Work was done by the system.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat gained by the system (q): 687 kJ (By convention, when the system absorbs heat, q > 0).
  • Change in the internal energy of the system (ΔU°): 156 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the work done (w)

We will use the following expression.

ΔU° = q + w

w = ΔU° - q

w = 156 kJ - 687 kJ

w = -531 kJ

By convention, when w < 0, work is done by the system on the surroundings.

The ____ connects the left and right sides of the cerebrum
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The left and right hemispheres of the cerebrum are connected by the Corpus Collosum.

Explanation:

The corpus collosum is a thick band of neurons that divides the cerebral cortex lobes into the left and right hemisphere. The corpus callosum allows for both hemispheres to communicate and transfer information! The primary function of the corpus callosum is to integrate sensory, motor, and cognitive performance between the cerebral cortex.  

Ins severe cases of epileptic seizures, a corpus callosotomy is performed, which cuts the corpus callosum in half. This prevents the seizures from becoming more severe, and the brain can reprogram, through neuroplasticity.
