A contact lens is a lens placed on the cornea of the eye.


Importance of buffers in contact lens products:

Buffers: They aim to keep the pH of the solutions at values ​​between 6.6 and 7.8 in order to maintain the lens parameters and the effectiveness of the solutions. They are made by the combination of an acid and its sodium salt (phosphate and acetate for example). Borate and citrate buffers are used.


Importance of isotonicity in contact lens products:

The solution composed by isotonic saline solution.

Isotonia is expressed by osmolarity or cryoscopic lowering

- 0.236 to 0.446 mOsmoles / l (increases during the day)

- If the osmolarity of the mixture is different from that of the tears, it causes discomfort and irritation

• Increased tear secretion

• Increase the blink frequency

- If hypotonia, entry of water to the epithelial cells, if hypertonia: inverse

- Osmolarity restored 1 or 2 minutes after instillation

DNAase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would first happen
Free_Kalibri [48]

DNAase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the covalent bonds that join nucleotides together. What would first happen to DNA molecules treated with DNAase?

A) The purines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.

B) The pyrimidines would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.

C) All bases would be separated from the deoxyribose sugars.

D) The two strands of the double helix would separate.

E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.

Answer:

E) The phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribose sugars would be broken.

Explanation:

The purines and pyrimidines of two DNA strands of a DNA duplex are held together by hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are not covalent bonds. The enzyme DNAase targets the phosphodiester bonds. These are the covalent bonds that join two deoxyribonucleotides of a DNA strand together. therefore, when a DNA is subjected to digestion with DNAase enzyme, the phosphodiester bonds will be broken that hold the pentose sugars of two nucleotides by a phosphate group.

How do solar radiation effect the climate
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The Sun's rays warm our world, stir air and ocean currents, and catalyze chemical reactions in the atmosphere. The Sun-warmed surface evaporates water to form rain clouds that redistribute fresh water around the world. And sunlight is essential for most life forms that live at Earth's surface.
