 The  amount   that will remain after 3.7  hours  for isotope  chlorine that has a half  life   of 55.5  minutes  is 2.813  kg


 Explanation

Half  life  is the  time required for the  radio activity  of  a specified isotope  to  fall  to  a  half its  original value.

convert 3.7  hrs  into  minutes

= 3.7  x 60 = 222 minute

 find the number of half life  that chlorine  isotope undergo   in  222  minutes

=222  minutes /  55.5   minutes = 4  half life


therefore   45 kg after first half life  =45 kg /2=22 .5 kg

                  22.5  kg after second  half life =  22.5/2 =11.25  kg

                 11.25  kg after third half life  = 11.25/2 = 5.625 kg

                5.625  kg  after  fourth  half life =  5.625/2 = 2.813 kg

Enzymatic breakdown of which of the following compounds doesn’t begin until it reaches the stomach?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. Proteins

Explanation:

Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).

Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.

Why are the four macro molecules important?
adell [148]

These molecules - proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids - make up every component in living things. Lipids are used as energy and form making membranes that all living things have. Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for many living things. Proteins are used to build tissues or enzymes. Nucleic acids are used for the genetic material to be transferred to offspring.

What might be the effect of a mutation in the promoter sequence of a gene
xenn [34]
What happens is it alters the regulation of the expression of the gene. Sometime you will see a loss of function, or reduction of ability to work such as complete loss of a protien code. Or you can gain a function or to much. So it doesn't regulate what it needs well and keeps producing when it shouldn't.
