Answer:
Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)
Explanation:
Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.
Answer:
An <u>Orbital </u>is the probability distribution of an electron in an atom or molecule.
Explanation:
As we know atom consists of sub-particles commonly known as protons, neutrons and electrons. The outer space around the nucleus where the probability of finding electrons is maximum is known as orbital. As the electrons are not precisely ordered around the nucleus hence it is not easy to tell the exact position of an electron.
Hence, four quantum numbers are used to locate the position of electrons around the nucleus.
i) Principle Quantum Number:
This number explains the main energy level which tend to increase in energy as the distance of electrons from nucleus are increased. Principle Quantum Numbers are integer number ranging from one to infinity. Hence, increase in this quantum number results in increase of the size of orbital.
ii) Azimuthal Quantum Number:
This Quantum Number explains the direction of particular orbital in 3-dimensional space. Also it is responsible for the shape of an orbital.
iii) Magnetic Quantum Number:
This Quantum Number also tells the direction of orbital in 3D space with respect to x, y and z axis.
iv) Spin Quantum Number:
This Quantum Number tells about the spin direction of an electron about its axis which may be clockwise or anticlockwise.
Answer: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Explanation and answer:
The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 L at 0 deg. C.
So the molar mass of the gas is, by proportion,
0.16 g * (22400 mL)/(240 mL) = 14.93 g
The molar mass of (CH4)n = 12+4(1) = 16.
So n = 15.93/16 = 1, or the molecular formula is CH4.
Note: The temperature at which the volume was observed was not given. If 240 cm^3 was observed at 20 deg.C, then the volume at 0 deg.C would be
V=240*(273+0)/(273+20) = 223.6
The molar mass = 0.16*22400/(223.6) = 16.03
which gives n = 16/16.03 = 1 again, but more accurately.

We describe the luminescence spectral properties of CdS nanoparticles with multiphoton excitation. Three types of CdS nanoparticles were examined which were a CdS/dendrimer composite which displays high anisotropy, Cd2+-enriched nanoparticles which display two emission maxima, and polyphosphate-stabilized nanoparticles which display long wavelength emission. Illumination with long wavelengths near 700−790 nm resulted in two-photon excitation. Essentially the same emission spectra and intensity decays were observed with one-photon and two-photon excitation. Comparison with fluorescein indicates the NPs display large two-photon cross sections near 100 GM. The CdS/dendrimer and Cd2+-enriched CdS nanoparticles displayed large anisotropy values with two-photon excitation, substantially larger than with one-photon excitation. It appears that semiconductor nanoparticles are comparable to organic fluorophores which display the same spectral properties with one-photon and two-photon excitation.
