Answer:
Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of first isotope = 21 amu
Abundance of first isotope = 62%
Mass of second isotope = 22 amu
Abundance of second isotope = 38%
Average atomic mass = ?
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
Average atomic mass = (62×21)+(38×22) /100
Average atomic mass = 1302 +836 / 100
Average atomic mass = 2138 / 100
Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.
The condition which is most likely to cause death of a botulism patient is Respiratory failure.
Explanation:
The causal organism of Botulism is the bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>
It is usually found in canned food and causes a very severe food poisoning.
The bacteria release botulinum toxin on reaching the intestine of the person and from their the toxins are absorbed into the blood.
Botulism mainly effects the neuromuscular system of the body. .
The basic symptoms of botulism is characterised by weaknes in limbs , jaws and eyes.
A decreased muscular activity sometimes causes constipation due to slowed down peristalsis.
Sometimes nausea , vomiting and diarrhea may occur.
If left untreated and in severe cases, the toxins may proceed to effect the respiratory muscle thus hindering the proper breathing and gaseous exchange.
A further damage could result in the respiratory failure.
Answer: After the experiment in step 5
Explanation:
In a scientific investigation, first step is to formulate a question. Second step is to do background research. In third step after background research, a hypothesis is constructed. In order to test hypothesis, an experiment is designed and performed. In the fifth step, data is collected from the experiment and in the last step, conclusions are drawn from the collected data.
The sequence and number of amino acids is different (each protein has a unique sequence and arrangement of amino acids).
