Answer:

The correct answer will be option-sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the membrane bound endoplasmic reticulum of the muscle cell which stores a large amount of Ca⁺² ions.

The reticulum contains Calsequestrin- a calcium binding protein which binds around 50 Ca⁺² ions to itself and helps store more calcium. These calcium ions are released when the signals through T-tubules are carried to the reticulum which leads to the opening of the calcium channels.

Thus, sarcoplasmic reticulum is the correct answer.

In order for matter or energy to be conserved, one must have a ____ system.

Leya [2.2K]

Closed system. If the system is not closed, matter or energy can escape from the system. an example of this is if you react magnesium and hydrochloric acid in a open system. The H₂ gas is going to escape making it look like some of the mass disappeared . in that same reaction some in an open system will also loose heat to the surrounding which will make it look like less heat was produced.

I need help solving this!

Answer: Moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, $CH_{4}$ .

Explanation:

Given: Mass of methane = 146.6 g

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of methane (molar mass = 16.04 g/mol) are calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{146.6 g}{16.04 g/mol}\\= 9.14 mol$

The given reaction equation is as follows.

$C + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{4}$

This shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gives 1 mole of methane. Hence, moles of hydrogen required to form 9.14 moles of methane is as follows.

$Moles of H_{2} = \frac{9.14}{2}\\= 4.57 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, $CH_{4}$ .

Why do we crack molecules?

tino4ka555 [31]

We need to crack molecules in order for us to get the desired molecule. For example, in the extraction of crude oil, after entering the fractional distillation, it will give products base on their molecular structure. The products are gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, wax, asbestos,kerosene.
