Answer:

a. Earth casts a shadow on the moon.

Explanation:

Lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes in between sun and moon. The sunlight falling on moon is blocked by Earth and the shadow of earth falls on moon. This happens on full moon day when sun, earth and moon align in one line.The moon passes through the shadow of earth and appears dark.

Thus, the correct option is a.

The production of new skin cells to replace those that have been lost is an example of what characteristic of life?

Alchen [17]

The production of new skin cells is example of regeneration.

Regeneration is process of replacing or restoring not just skin cells, but also other cells in the human organism.

Skin regeneration is replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue.

There are two ways of skin regeneration:

1) reconstruction is a process of rebuilding of damaged skin cells

2) restoration is process of replacing broken cell skins

Epidermal stem cells are those who produces new daughter cell skins.

Epidermal stem cells are in the lowest layer of the skin.

The isotope of carbon used in archaeological dating is 14^6C . How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does an atom of 14^6C h

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Isotope given:

¹⁴₆C

In specie written as this;

Superscript = Mass number

Subscript = Atomic number

To find the protons, it is the same as the atomic number;

Protons = Atomic number = 6

Neutrons have no charges;

Neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number =

Neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8

The number of electrons is the same as the atomic number = 6

The equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction is 0.497 at 500K.PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)If an equilibrium mixture of t

Anestetic [448]

Answer: The equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl2(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ for above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times p_{PCl_3}}{p_{PCl_5}}$

We are given:

$K_p=0.497\\p_{PCl_3}=0.651atm\\p_{PCl_5}=0.471atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.497=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times 0.651}{0.471}\\\\p_{Cl_2}=0.360atm$

Hence, the equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm

Give the name for the strongest intermolecular interaction between the substrate and the following amino acids on the star prote

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The answer is IONIC BOND

Explanation:

Steroidogenic acute regulatory, (StAR) protein is a type of globular protein, which allows it act as an active catalyst on substrates. Because the substrates on which enzymes act usually have higher molecular weights of several hundred as compared to the enzymes, only a fraction of the enzyme's surface is in contact with the substrate. This region of contact called the active site, is as a result of the protein folding itself into a tertiary structure.

Once the correct substrate has bound at the active site of the enzyme, an enzyme-substrate complex is created. The substrate is usually held in the complex by combinations of electrical attraction, hydrophobic repulsion, or hydrogen bonding between and from the amino acid; the strongest of which is the ionic/electrostatic bonding due to larger amount of ionic "R" groups in the protein structure.

So whilst all these inter-molecular interactions are possible, the strongest would be ionic bond.
