When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate int

o individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
A) 1 L of 0.5 M NaClB) 1 L of 0.5 M glucoseC) 1 L of 1.0 M NaClD) 1 L of 1.0 M glucoseE) C and D will contain equal numbers of particles.

Answer:

The correct answer is C) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl

Explanation:

NaCl is a ionic compound so it dissociates in water into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. Glucose is a covalent solute so it does not dissociates into ions. So, when we dissolve NaCl we have twice the amount of particles in solution in comparison with glucose. According to this:

A) and B) are solutions with the same concentration (0.5 M) but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose.

C) and D) are solutions with more solute amount because they are more concentrated (1 M), but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose solution ( 1 mol of Na⁺ ions + 1 mol of Cl⁻ ions).

The solution with the greatest solute particle number is C).

How do ATP and ADP compare? A. ATP has one fewer phosphate group and is lower in energy than ADP. B. ATP has one fewer phosphate
Lady bird [3.3K]
D. ATP (Adenosine TRIphosphate) has one more phosphate group and is higher in energy than ADP (Adenosine DIphosphate). TRI means three, DI means two, so the names of the molecules tell you there's one more phosphate in ATP than in ADP. 

That extra phosphate makes ATP higher in energy (when the cell uses that energy to do something - contract a muscle fiber, for instance - the ATP's extra energy is used and it gets converted to ADP).

7. All the recolonizing species are autotrophs. How do they get their energy?
Tresset [83]

7. The correct answer is photosynthesis.

Autotrophs are organisms which produce food for themselves-from simple to complex molecules. In the case of photosynthesis, producers (plants or some algae) use the light energy to produce complex organic compounds (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins).

8. The correct answer is primary consumers.

Since the pioneer species are usually autotrophs because there is no other source of energy except light energy in the early stages of succession (after the eruption). Most likely, the primary consumer will appear next because they feed upon producers.

9. The correct answer is: they are different populations of fish.

Those two different kinds of fish have unique adaptations that enable them to survive and live in distinct environments. It is most likely that molecular changes underlie adaptation and speciation of those fishes.

Hoochie [10]

Apart from being activated when an individual performs a motor act or observes another individual engaging in the same act, mirror neurons in humans are also connected with empathy, the evolution of language and even autism. Mirror neurons make people react or feel the same as the person they are watching, and this is known as empathy. However, for people with autism, they may have reduced mirror neuron activity which causes difficulties for them to detect feelings or empathize with other people.
