The correct answer is A. When free hydrogen ions and free hydroxyl ions are removed from solutions of acids and bases, the acidic and basic properties disappear.
The strength of the acid or base depends upon its degree of ionization. Since different acids and different bases dissociate or ionize to different extent in water so their degree of ionization is also different. Strong acids and strong bases ionize in water completely while the weaker acids or bases ionize partially. Ionization of the weak acids in water are in equilibrium. The degree of ionization is the ratio of the number of ionized molecules to the number of molecules which are dissolved in water. In case of acids the ionized molecules are hydrogen ions and in case of bases hydroxyl ions.
Of the following given choices;
A. glacial erratics B. U-shaped valleys C. unusually shaped rocks D. mudslides.
The answer is; C.
The wind carries soil particles is it blows. These soil particle hit on rocks in their path and over time gradually erode the rocks. An example of this type of erosion is the aeolian process. Usually the bottom o the rock is eroded more than the top. This is because the bottom is hit by larger soil particles that are heavier to carry by the wind. An example of rock formed in this process is attached in the picture below.
Answer:
The correct answer is: d. REs activity is best preserved by freezing the RE and thawing it out for brief periods of time as needed.
Explanation:
- Restriction enzymes can be defined as endonucleases that can recognize specific nucleotide sequence in a DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence and cause breakage of phosphodiester bond in the DNA at the target site. Hence, it has the capacity of cleaving a DNA sequence.
- These are made up of proteins which are required to be present in the accurately folded conformation in order to function.
- Any form of alteration in the three-dimensional structure of the protein induced due to physical, chemical, mechanical or physiological factors can cause denaturation of the protein which in turn can render the protein non-functional.
- Freezing of restriction enzymes (REs) directly without the use of glycerol will cause the movement of water molecules within the proteins as well layering of water molecules on the protein surface.
- At low temperature these water molecules change to ice crystals which can alter the conformation of the protein or can cause breakage of peptide bonds in the proteins by physical force.
- This can cause the protein to get denatured and hence non-functional.
- Hence, it is never advisable to preserve REs by freezing directly without glycerol.
- Glycerol forms a layer around the protein molecules and prevents the protein molecules from coming into direct contact with the water molecules and hence prevents protein denaturation.
Answer:
I think the answer would be D,I'm not really sure though,hope I'm right,sorry if I,m not :)
Explanation:
Passive Transport: Simple Diffusion. Diffusion across a cell membrane is a type of passive transport, or transport across the cell membrane that does not require energy. ... Molecules that are hydrophobic, just like the hydrophobic region, can pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion.
