How is it possible to have thousands of different proteins when there are only 20 different amino acids?

Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins. 

In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.

What is the molar mass of water (H2O)?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The molar mass is: 18.02 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • Mass of two moles of Hydrogen atoms (H2) = 2x 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol.
  • Mass of one mole of water (H2O) = 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol.

1 mole of Hydrogen= 1.01, so if we have 2 moles of it here, that would be 2.02.

1 mole of Oxygen (that's all we have here)= 16.00

Once you add the two together (2.02+16.00), you will get 18.02.

I hope this made sense! Have a great day!

Thorium-234 has a half life of about 25 days. What percent of the thorium will remain after 125 days
solong [7]

Answer:

3.125% will remain after 125 days

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of Th-234 = 25 days

Percent of thorium remain after 125 days = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives = T elapsed / half life

Number of half lives = 125 days / 25 days

Number of half lives = 5

At time zero =100%

At 1st half life = 100%/2 = 50%

At second half life = 50%/2 = 25%

At third half life = 25%/ 2 = 12.5%

At 4th half life = 12.5% /2 = 6.25%

At 5th half life = 6.25% /2 = 3.125%

If an element has 10 protons and 11 neutrons and 10 electrons, which expression correctly identifies the element?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
When the number of protons and electrons are equal, that means the element is neutral. So, to know the element, find the element with an atomic number of 10. That would be Neon. Next, solve the mass number.

Mass number = protons +neutrons = 10+11 = 21

Thus, the expression should be written as shown in the attached picture.
