Answer:
An alcohol thermometer can measure the freezing point of a liquid that freezes at −80 °C.
Explanation:
A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. A thermometer must contain a thermometric substance. A thermometric substance is any substance having a particular physical property that changes with temperature.
For all liquid-in-glass thermometers, the property that changes with change in temperature is the height of the liquid. There are two kinds of liquid-in-glass thermometers; mercury-in-glass thermometer and alcohol-in-glass thermometer.
Alcohol-in-glass thermometer measures very low temperatures up to as low as -115°C. If it measures such a low temperature, then it can efficiently measure -80°C hence the answer.
Alcohol-in-glass thermometers have a narrower temperature range than mercury-in-glass thermometer. The later is well adapter for the measurement bof higher tempetures up to 357°C.
Answer:
c. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron.
e. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron ( Fe ) (Fe) atom.
f. Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer. The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried within myoglobin.
Explanation:
The differences between hemoglobin and myoglobin are most important at the level of quaternary structure. Hemoglobin is a tetramer composed of two each of two types of closely related subunits, alpha and beta. Myoglobin is a monomer (so it doesn't have a quaternary structure at all). Myoglobin binds oxygen more tightly than does hemoglobin. This difference in binding energy reflects the movement of oxygen from the bloodstream to the cells, from hemoglobin to myoglobin.
Myoglobin binds oxygen
The binding of O 2 to myoglobin is a simple equilibrium reaction:
Answer:
Plants and animals are pH sensitive. The growth of plants is dependent on the nature of the soil. If the pH of the soil is greater than 7 and is alkaline, then the plants cannot grow in the soil.
Explanation:
109.5
tetrahedral shape:
number of electron pair = 4,
number of bonded pair = 4,
number of lone pair = 0.
