Answer:

A mutation in the DNA results in a change in the mRNA and, ultimately, to a different protein structure. The DNA sequence found within a gene controls protein synthesis. If the DNA sequence is altered, this can alter the amino acid sequence within a protein

Explanation:

Your DNA is the blueprint used to make proteins. Your DNA is used to make a strand of mRNA (Messenger RNA.) This is sent to a ribosome where it is read. The codons in the mRNA instruct the ribosome which amino-acid to attach to the end of the protein chain and when to let it go.

If your DNA mutates then the mRNA copied from it will be different. When that gets to the ribosome the effect depends on just what the altered codon(s) are. The ribosome will blindly follow the instructions it has been given. This might be to add a different amino-acid to the chain or to prematurely release it.

During photosynthesis, how many moles of water (H₂O) are needed to produce 150 grams of glucose

Nuetrik [128]

During photosynthesis, 5 moles of water are needed to produce 150 grams of glucose. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

It is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for photosynthesis.

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

Step 2: Convert 150 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ to moles.

The molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 180.16 g/mol.

150 g × 1 mol/180.16 g = 0.833 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of water required to form 0.833 moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

The molar ratio of H₂O to C₆H₁₂O₆ is 6:1.

0.833 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ × 6 mol H₂O/1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ = 5.00 mol H₂O

During photosynthesis, 5 moles of water are needed to produce 150 grams of glucose. The correct option is D.

The solubility of carbon dioxide in water is 0.161 g CO2in 100 mL of water at 20ºC and 1.00 atmCO2. A soft drink is carbonated w

Sedbober [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of carbon dioxide at 5.50 atm is $0.886g/100mL$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{A}=K_H\times p_{A}$

Or,

$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{2}}=\frac{p_{1}}{p_2}$

where,

$C_1\text{ and }p_1$ are the initial concentration and partial pressure of carbon dioxide

$C_2\text{ and }p_2$ are the final concentration and partial pressure of carbon dioxide

We are given:

$C_1=0.161g/100mL\\p_1=1.00atm\\C_2=?\\p_2=5.50atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.161g/100mL}{C_2}=\frac{1.00atm}{5.50atm}\\\\C_2=\frac{0.161g/100mL\times 5.50atm}{1.00atm}=0.886g/100mL$

Hence, the solubility of carbon dioxide at 5.50 atm is $0.886g/100mL$

How is a pure substance different from a mixture?

Sauron [17]

The answer is A.
Pure substance is either an element or a compound, which elements in compund is chemically combined together. They cannot be separated by physical methods such as filtration or evaporation. Compounds can only be separated by chemical methods, which include using electricity (electrolysis) or applying heat.
