6 0

Answer:

1. antibodies

2. hormones

3. kidney stones

4. transport proteins

5. protein-energy malnutrition

6. coenzymes

7. buffer

8. kwashiorkor

Explanation:

1. ANTIBODIES are proteins that aid the immune system in its fight against bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substance by binding to them and helping to inactivate or destroy them.

2. HORMONES are substances made of protein or lipid released into the bloodstream in order to direct physiological activity in the body.

3. A high-protein diet can increase the risk of KIDNEY STONES because the body will have an increased acid level.

4. TRANSPORT PROTEINS carry many substances through the blood or allow movement of substances in and out of cells.

5. PROTEIN-ENERGY MALNUTRITION is the phenomenon used to describe an inadequate intake of proteins and/or calorie content.

6. COENZYMES are molecules that play vital roles in the function of an enzyme. Coenzyme in form of vitamins are utilized by enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.

7. Proteins can act like BUFFER (a substance with a stable pH) in order to regulate the acid-base balance in the body.

8. KWASHIORKOR is a malnutrition deficiency that result from the insufficiency of dietary protein, resulting in swelling in the feet, legs, and stomach among other symptoms.

The jet stream is influenced by what?
Nutka1998 [239]
Hello!

Jet streams are large currents of air that travel around the planet. The ocean does not control the wind. The Sun does not control the wind. Hurricanes do not either. Mountain breezes can influence and are influenced by the jet stream.

I hope this helps!

Describe the process of chromatographic separation. You need to include both the equilibrium model to predict retention times an
Kay [80]

Answer:Chromatography is actually a way of separating out a mixture of chemicals, which are in liquid or gas form, by letting them flow slowly past another substance, which is either a solid or a liquid. It consist of a stationary phase and a mobile phase.

Explanation: All chromatographic systems rely on the fact that a substance placed in contact with two unmixable phases, one movable phase and one stationary phase, will equilibrate between them. A selectivity (or separation) factor (α) is used to 'chemically' distinguish between sample components. It is usually measured as a ratio of the retention (capacity) factors (k) of the two peaks in question and can be visualized as the distance between the apices of the two peaks. reproducible fraction will partition into each phase, depending on the relative affinity of the substance for each phase. A substance which has affinity for the moving or mobile phase will be moved rapidly through the system. A material which has a stronger affinity for the stationary phase, on the other hand, will spend more time immobilized in that phase, and will take a longer time to pass through the system. Therefore, it will be separated from the first substance. By definition, chromatography is a separation technique in which a sample is equilibrated between a mobile and a stationary phase. A theoritical plate or tray is used to produces the best possible difference between the liquid and vapour phases in equilibrium with it

Chromatographic separations are best done with a small amount of analyte (substance to be separated during analysis), which keeps either phase from becoming saturated with analyte, so that the concentrations in the two phases are directly proportional. Overloading the column with sample causes one of the phases to become saturated, leading to a loss of column efficiency, and poorly shaped peak profiles.

The retention volume in chromatographic separation (Vr) is the volume of the mobile phase required to carry the solute through the column to elution, is related to the column flow (Fc) and the retention time (tr). Likewise, the volume of the mobile phase(Vm), is related to the flow and the time the void volume takes to pass through the column.

Band broadening using the kinetic model is a phenomenon that reduces the efficiency of the separation being carried out, leading to poor resolution and chromatographic performance. This is problematical in terms of both the quality of the separation obtained and the accuracy with which sample components can be quantified.The wider band results in a dilution effect that produces a decrease in peak height accompanied by a loss in sensitivity and resolution. The eddy dispersion, accounts for the source of band broadening related to any flow unevenness in the column.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

A. 50, 88, 145, 227

Explanation:

The correct option would be option A.

<u>When something grows exponentially, it means the growth increased at a high rate. More specifically, each rate of increase results in more or less doubling of the preceding rate. For example, if the current value of growth rate is 2 for a substance that is growing exponentially, the next growth rates will be 4, 8, 16, etc.</u>

<em>In this particular illustration, the only option that best fit into an exponential system is option A in which the growth rate more or less doubles each time from 50 to 88, from 88 to 145, and then from 145 to 227.</em>
