Answer:
C. Mutations are a change in DNA or a chromosome and can be helpful, harmful or may have no affect.
Explanation:
- Mutations are spontaneous random changes that occurs in the genetic make up of an organisms. Mutations are rare and their rate of occurrence is random.
- Mutations may occur on the gene level known as gene mutations or at chromosome levels called chromosomal mutations.
- Mutations may be beneficial, harmful or have no effect on a given organisms. Harmful mutations cause disorders that may lead to abnormality or death of an organisms. Beneficial mutations improve an organisms adaptability to the environment.
Answer:
0.85 Molar Na2O
Explanation:
Determine the moles of sodium oxide, Na2O, in 10 grams by dividing by the molar mass of Na2O (61.98 g/mole).
(10 g Na2O)/(61.98 g/mole) = 0.161 moles Na2O.
Molar is a measure of concentration. It is defined as moles/liter. A 1 M solution contains 1 mole of solute per liter of solvent. [200 ml water = 0.2 Liters water.]
In this case, we have 0.161 moles Na2O in 0.200 L of solvent.
(0.161 moles Na2O)/(0.200 L) = 0.85 Molar Na2O
Neon has filled its outer shells, therefore it is very stable and does not need to react with other elements and doesn’t form compounds.
Answer:
3). 1.30 × 10^(24) molecules
Explanation:
From avogadro's law which state that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.
We can relate it to this question as;
V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
Where;
V₁ is initial volume
n₁ is initial number of molecules
V₂ is final volume
n₂ is final number of molecules
Thus at STP, we have V₁ = V₂ and as such Plugging in the relevant values gives;
5/(1.30 x 10^(24)) = 5/n₂
n₂ = 1.30 x 10^(24) molecules
Answer:
The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)
Explanation:
Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.
Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..
