The long "tail" on a detergent molecule is made up mostly of carbon atoms bonded to other carbon atoms. Why would you expect the

tail to be no polar?

Answer:

A detergent molecule consists of a polar ionic head and a non polar hydrocarbon tail. Polarity of a molecule is due to difference in electronegativities of constituting atoms. For example O-H bond is polar because oxygen is very electronegative compared to hydrogen (3.44 vs 2.2) so O acquires a partial negative charge and H acquires a partial positive change making the bond polar.

Detergent tail molecule is non polar because it is made of hydrocarbons i.e. hydrogen and carbon atoms. Carbon atoms are bonded to each other and to hydrogen atoms. Electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen are almost same ( 2.55 and 2.2 respectively ). The difference is not much to induce polarity in C-H bond also hydrocarbon tails have maximum C-C bonds which have no polarity because both the atoms are same.Hence, the tail of detergent molecule is non polar.

The sun's chromosphere emits radiation in an electromagnetic band that gives humans skin cancer.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer;

The above statement is true.

Explanation;

-The sun's chromosphere emits radiation in an electromagnetic band that gives humans skin cancer.

-The chromosphere is the region of sun's atmosphere just above photosphere .

-The most inner to the outer layers of the sun are the core, radiation zone, convection zone, photosphere, chromosphere, transition zone, corona, and solar wind.

-The chromosphere produces emission spectrum and visible UV & X-ray lines from highly ionized gases.

Your friend is a pioneer in ES cell research. In her research, she uses an ES cell line that originated from an inbred strain of
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Organ transplantation requires that the donor organism and recipient be genetically close so that the graft or transplant will not be attacked by the immune system of the recipient leading to rejection and damage. Squeaky is likely to be made up of a different genetic configuration compared to laboratory inbred FG426 mouse

b) ips (induced pluripotent stem cell) on the other hand can benefit squeaky since the cells are somatic cells such as B cells, Keratinocytes, neuronal progenitors cells, kidney and muscles gotten from the donor that are reprogrammed by reactivating silent genes through fusing of another different cell such as ES (embryonic stem cell) and introduction of some transcriptional factors such oct4, sox2,kf4, and k-myc leading to transcriptional activity and DNA methylation.  This induced pluripotent stem cells can be grown into organ that can be transplanted to the recipient who was initially the donor of the reprogrammed somatic cells. Because it is from the host, the transplanted organ is not likely to trigger immune response compare to those grown from ES from other bred.
