Explain why the Cell A (nerve cell) and Cell B (red blood cell) cannot switch jobs

1 answer:

4 0

Red blood cells carry a specific type of protein, called hemoglobin, which is able to bind oxygen and release it in other tissues. A nerve cell doesn't have this protein because it doesn't need to bind oxygen. Instead, the nerve cell uses other proteins that help it transmit signals to other cells.

That is copied from “gene expression” article

But all in all, the cells have different structures and different jobs. This means that they are produced for that one job and cannot be made to do another job that they aren’t specifically made for. As well the dna make up will produce these cells specifically and in different cells than the other.

Hopefully this helps some. Have a nice day!

Answer:

Limestone caves are formed when acid rain occurs.

Explanation:

When chalk pieces which is made of calcium carbonate react with acetic acid, it produces carbon dioxide, calcium acetate, and water. When calcium carbonate react with Carbonated Water produces calcium bicarbonate. Limestone cave forms when the dissolution of limestone occur when rainwater which is acidic due to the addition of carbondioxide in the air react with limestone. This dissolution removes the lime from the rock and caves are formed.

Briefly describe bohr's model postulates and its limitations.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Bohr's Model postulates-

I postulate - The electrons in an atom orbit around the nucleus in definite circular paths called orbits or shells.

II Postulate - Each shell or orbit represents a specific amount of energy.

III Postulate - By emitting or absorbing energy, an electron may shift from one stationary energy orbit to another.

Three main Limitations -

1- It adjusts to the hydrogen atom's spectrum but not to the spectra of other atoms.

2 - In the definition of the electron as a tiny particle that spins around the atomic nucleus, the wave properties of the electron are not described.

3- Bohr is unable to understand why classical electromagnetism is inapplicable to his model. That is why, when electrons are in a stationary orbit, they do not emit electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

About Bohr's postulates-

1 - The electron spins in circling circles around the nucleus, emitting no energy. The orbital angular momentum is constant in these orbits.

Only certain radii of orbits, corresponding to certain given energy levels, are required for electrons in an atom.

2- Not every orbit is possible. However, whenever an electron is in a legal orbit, it is in a state of unique and constant energy and does not emit energy (stationary energy orbit).

For example - The energies allowed for electrons in the hydrogen atom are given by the following equation: The Rydberg constant for the hydrogen atom is $-2.8\times10^-^1^8$ in this equation, and n = quantum number will range from 1 to ∞. For each of the values of n, the electron energies of a hydrogen atom produced by the above equation are negative. As n rises, the energy becomes less negative and thus rises.

3- By emitting or absorbing energy, an electron may shift from one stationary energy orbit to another.

The energy difference between the two states would be equal to the energy released or consumed. This energy E is in the form of a photon, and it can be measured using the following formula:

$E=h$ $v$

E is the energy (absorbed or emitted) in this equation, and h is the Planck constant (its value is $6.63\times10^-^3^4 Js$ ) and v denotes the frequency of light, which is calculated in 1/ s.

Ter the symbol for the isotope used in blood flow analyses.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

The symbol of isotopes used for blood flow analysis is $\begin{array}{c}{141} \\ {58}\end{array} C e.$

Explanation:

Isotopes are the substances that exhibit the same atomic number but has a different mass number of an element.
The atomic number explains the number of protons present in the element and mass number explains the number of neutrons available in the element.
For blood flow analysis, the isotope element is cerium-141 and it is used in the chemical examination of blood flow particles.
Symbol used for this isotope is $\begin{array}{c}{141} \\ {58}\end{array} C e$ , where 141 indicates the amount of mass present and 58 indicates the proton number and 83 indicates neutron number present in that element.
The amount of mass in an atom is calculated by the sum of protons and neutrons present in it. Thus mass of isotope is 141 obtained by the sum of 58 protons and 83 neutrons present in that isotope.

The whiye pigment TiO2 is prepared by the reaction of titanium tetrachloride, TiCl4, with water vapor in the gas phase:

omeli [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{62.1 kJ}}$

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products is

$\Delta_{\text{r}}H^{\circ} = \sum \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} (\text{products}) - \sum\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} (\text{reactants})$

TiCl₄(g) + 2H₂O(g) ⟶ TiO₂(s) + 4HCl(g)

ΔH°f/kJ·mol⁻¹: -763.2 -241.828 -939.7 -92.307

$\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta_{\text{r}}H^{\circ} & = & [-939.7 + 4(-92.307)] - [-763.2 + 2(-241.828)\\& = & [-939.7 - 369.228] - [-763.2 - 483.656]\\& = & -1308.928 + 1246.856\\& = & \mathbf{-62.1}\\\end{array}\\\text{The amount of heat evolved is } \boxed{\textbf{62.1 kJ}}$
