Answer:

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull Volcano

Explanation:

Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull Volcano eruption happened on March 20, 2010. It consisted of different stages:

  • The first eruption happened in an ice-free area (1660 m high), this eruption was little but it produced lava.
  • The next phase of the eruption, on 14 April, produced a 2.5 km wide caldera under the ice cap. This led to the melting of such ice, flooding the southern region, 800 people were evacuated. During this phase, the interaction between magma with water created a plume of volcanic ash and gas of over 10 km. This lasted from April 15th to April 21st.

Even though the eruption itself wasn't that big, the melting ice that flooded the surrounded area and the ashes column that blocked the air paths for almost a week, converted this event into one of the most disastrous eruptions.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is _______ ( 1mM = 10-3M)
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4

Explanation:

The pH of any solution is given by the following mathematical equation -

pH = -log[H_{+}]\\----------- Equation (A)

Where,

H_{+} = the concentration of hydrogen ion in the solution.

Given

H_{+}

= 0.1mM\\=0.1 * 10^{-3}\\= 10^{-4}\\

Substituting the given value in equation (A) , we get -

pH = -log[10^{-4}]

= -(-4)\\= 4

Hence, The pH of a solution containing 0.1 mM H+ is 4

A peptide has the sequence NH2-phe-pro-lys-gly-phe-pro-COOH. Which of the
Minchanka [31]

The correct answer is: C) 5ʹ TTT-CCC-AAA-GGG-TTT-CCC

phe-phenylalanine  codons: TTT, TTC

pro-proline       codons: CCT, CCC, CCA, CCG

lys-lysine      codons: AAA, AAG

gly-glycine    codons: GGT, GGC, GGA, GGG

phe- phenylalanine  codons: TTT, TTC

pro- proline       codons: CCT, CCC, CCA, CCG

The process of translation occurs in the cytosol, on the ribosome. The mechanism consists of the addition of one amino acid at a time to the end of the polypeptide being formed. Each amino acid should match to a three nucleotide subsequence of the mRNA (codone). During the process of translation (synthesis of proteins) ribosomes move from 5’ toward the 3' end of mRNA.
