If a solution is undergoing a reaction where CO2 is being created a product, what color is the phenol red-containing solution sh
Fantom [35]

Answer:

YELLOW

Explanation:

Phenol red is a biological indicator used to monitor changes in pH. The phenol red indicator changes color ranging from yellow to pink with respect to changes in pH. In an acidic pH i.e. <7, the phenol red changes to a YELLOW color while in an alkaline pH i.e. >7, the phenol red changes to a PINK pH.

The presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) increases the hydrogen ion concentration (H+) of a solution (lowering its pH or making it acidic).

Therefore, in a reaction where CO2 is created as a product, it means the CO2 content of that solution increases. Hence, the phenol red solution will be shifting towards the YELLOW color in response to a decreasee in pH (acidic).

Hundreds of mutations have been identified in ryr1 that contribute to multiple muscular diseases. assume that a new mutation was
Brilliant_brown [7]
The RYR1 gene is responsible for producing the protein ryanodine receptor 1. This protein transport calcium ions to the cells for muscle contraction. When this receptor remains open for a long time, you would expect an excess of calcium ions which would result to muscle rigidity. The excess calcium ions would also increase body temperature and produce excess acid.

Enkephalins and endorphins are peptides that act like morphine. True or False
mariarad [96]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Enkephalins and endorphins are endogenous peptides while morphine is an exogenous peptide.

Enkephalins and endorphins are powerful analgesics 18 to 500 times more than morphine. Hence, morphine is less analgesic than enkephalins and endorphins.

Enkephalins and endorphins act on the  mu, kappa , delta receptors and morphine also acts on the same receptors. All of them has same effects on the body.

Hence, Enkephalins and endorphins are peptides that act like morphine.
