Answer:

The force of attraction between two different molecules

Explanation:

A great example of this is <u>transport of water in plants</u>.

As the water molecules travel up the xylem, there are forces of adhesion and cohesion that are present.

Cohesion is the force of attraction due to hydrogen bonds, of the water molecules to each other. Between one water molecule and another water molecule.

Adhesion is the force of attraction due to hydrogen bonds, of the water molecules being attracted to another object or surface, in this case, the wall of the xylem.

What are the four carbon macromolecules the body uses and makes?
aliya0001 [1]

Living things are made of types of molecules, known as macromolecules.

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules:

carbohydrates

lipids

proteins

nucleic acids

Each of these types of macromolecules performs a wide array of important functions within the cell; a cell cannot perform its role within the body without many different types of these crucial molecules. In combination, these biological macromolecules make up the majority of a cell’s dry mass. (Water molecules make up the majority of a cell’s total mass.) All the molecules both inside and outside of cells are situated in a water-based (i.e., aqueous) environment, and all the reactions of biological systems are occurring in that same environment.

"The total concentration of receptors in a sample is 10 mM, and the concentration of free ligand is 2.5 mM. Calculate the percen
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

16.66 %

Explanation:

The receptors that are bound with the ligand can be calculated by the formula as follows:

Kd = [R] [L]/[RL]

Here, Kd is dissociation constant = 1.5 mM

R is free receptor concentration = 10 mM

L is free ligand concentration = 2.5 mM

The values needs to be constitute to find the percentage  of receptors that are bound to ligand.

Put all the values

1.5 = 10 × 2.5 / RL or RL = 25 /1.5

So RL = 16.66

Hence 16.66 % of receptor is bound to substrate.

Thus, the answer is 16.66%
