You made a "cell" using dialysis tubing and a concentrated sugar solution tinted red. You then placed the cell in distilled wate

r in a beaker. When the "cell" has 0% sucrose, did you expect the cell to gain water, lose water, or stay the same?

Answer:

When the cell has 0% sucrose I expect the cell to stay the same.

Explanation:

First of all, this question should not be confused for the statement "When the "cell" has 0% sucrose, did you expect the cell to have gained water, lost water, or stay the same. In this case, the correct answer would have been; gained water.

But, in this question, we are asked what happens to the cells at 0% sucrose concentration. At 0% (no solute) concentration, there is no net movement of water or solute into or out of the cell, because the cell is isotonic to the external environment (distilled water). Osmosis, a special kind of diffusion, is the movement of water, from areas of lower solute concentration to area of higher solute concentration, or from areas of higher water concentration to areas of lower water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. If the water moves into the cells (hypertonic cells), then the cell gains water and increases in size, but if the cell loses water (hypotonic cell), then it reduces in size

Describe the action mechanism of labile toxin by placing the steps in the correct order.
vaieri [72.5K]
I cannot found the exercise anywhere, so I will just explain how the toxin works.

A toxin is a toxic substance made by a living organism such as a bacterium, a fungus, a plant or an animal.

Labil toxins are toxins which are by easily degraded. among these toxins, there is the toxin of Escherichia coli and the cholera toxin of <span>Vibrio cholerea.
</span>
The intracellular target of cholera toxin is adenylate cyclase, one of the most important eukaryotic cell regulatory systems. This enzyme is involved in the conversion of ATP into a cyclic AMP (cAMP), a crucial intracellular messenger in a wide variety of cellular processes.
Cholera toxin catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) to a specific arginine residue of the Gsa protein, resulting in the activation of adenylate cyclase and consequently the increase of the intracellular level cAMP. AMPc activates a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which leads to phosphorylation of the protein, modification of ion transport and finally diarrhea.

Iron-55 has a half-life of 3 years. How much of a 40 gram sample will remain after 12 years? A. 0 grams B. 4 grams C. 2.5 grams
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ 2.5 \ grams }}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how much of a 40 gram sample remains after 12 years.

Iron-55 has a half-life of 3 years. Therefore, after 12 years, 4 half-lives have been completed.

  • 12 years/3 years = 4 half-lives

Every time a half-life is completed, half of the sample's mass decays. Remember we start with a 40 gram sample.

  • 1 half- life: 40 g / 2 = 20 g
  • 2 half-lives: 20 g / 2= 10 g
  • 3 half-lives: 10 g / 2 = 5 g
  • 4 half-lives: 5 g / 2 = 2.5 g

There is also a formula that can be used to solve this problem.

A= A_o(\frac {1}{2})^{\frac{t}{hl}

Where A₀ is the initial amount, t is the time, and hl is the half-life.

We know 40 grams is the inital amount, 12 years is the time, and 3 years is the halflife.

  • A₀= 40 g
  • t= 12
  • hl= 3

A= 40 \ g (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{3}

A= 40 \ g (\frac{1}{2})^4

A= 40 \ g * 0.0625

\bold {A= 2.5 \ g}

After 12 years, <u>2.5 grams </u> of Iron-55 will remain.

Which happened when an essential amino acid is missing from the diet
anastassius [24]

You need amino acids in your diet every day, since your body doesn't store excess amino acids consumed.  If essential amino acids are missing from your diet, your body will start breaking down muscle tissue to access the amino acids that is contains so they can use them elsewhere.
