Answer:

Alkaloids

Explanation:

Alkaloids are organic compounds that are rich in nitrogen which are commonly found in plants though some may be prepared artificially.

Alkaloids helps in protecting plants against pathogens and animals. However they could also be useful in human and veterinary medicine. They have various pharmacological effects. Example of alkaloids include:

Morphine:They can be used to cure and relief pain

Quinine:fight malaria infection

Chelerythrine: fight bacteria .

All these are found in various plants.

Answer: Alkaloids

A class of substances known as alkaloids are used for their medicinal properties.

Explanation:

Alkaloids are small but complex organic substances with at least one nitrogen atom in its ring structure. Hence, they have strong basic properties, and are produced in naturally by some plants.

Examples of alkaloids and their medicinal properties are as follows:

- caffeine, used in certain drug and drinks to stimulate the nervous system

- morphine, used to reduce pain and induce sleep in humans.

- cocaine, nicotine etc

A buffer is a solution that is a mixture of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Whe
babymother [125]

Answer:

b. The weak base of an alkaline buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution

d.The conjugate acid of an alkaline buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resist pH change, it shows minimal change upon addition of small amount of strong acid or strong base. An alkaline buffer will have a  basic pH, above 7. It is made by mixing a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. An example of an alkaline buffer is carbonate-bicarbonate buffer that is prepared using varying amount of anhydrous sodium carbonate and volume of solution of sodium bicarbonate to get pH range between 9.2 to 10.7

Within the buffer,the salt is completely ionized while the weak base is partly ionized. on addition of acid, the released protons will be removed by the bicarbonate ion to form sodium carbonate; on addition of base, the hydroxide ion released by the base will be removed by the hydrogen ions to form water and the pH remains relatively the same

The lattice structure in a metal is _____ than the lattice structure of an ionic compound.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
<span>The lattice structure in a metal is weaker than the lattice structure of an ionic compound. This is because the metals have free electrons which can freely move around while ionic compounds are strongly bonded. Hope this answers the question.</span>

1. Which of the following statements is a consequence of the equation E=MC2
finlep [7]

Answer:

D. All of the above​

Explanation:

E = MC² is a common equation in physics.

E is energy

M is mass

C is the speed of light

The law was stated by Albert Einstein.

  • From this law, it was shown that energy is released when matter is destroyed.
  • Mass and energy are equivalent as seen in nuclear reactions where mass is converted to energy.
  • Mass and energy is usually conserved in any process and this is a subtle modification of the law of conservation of matter and energy.
  • Most of these postulates apply to nuclear reactions which generally do not follow some precepts of chemical laws.
