Answer:

Atmosphere

Explanation:

carbon dioxide is naturally released into the atmosphere by the decay and flatulance of animals. But you extract fossil fuels from the ground and burn them. The burning of fossil fuels is called combustion.

Which type of macromolecules is a steroid

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Steroids are also lipids but they have a carbon skeleton of four connected rings (no glycerol here) (3.9, pg 41). The different properties of different steroids are due to the attached functional groups. Cholesterol is a steroid that can be modified to form many hormones.

Study these diagrams. The dots represent valence electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom. Which diagram shows the valence elec

steposvetlana [31]

In the picture attached to this question, the two diagrams above did not show very well but I believe that the first diagram contain four dots, which means that the correct option is A.
Carbon has six electrons, that is why 6 is its atomic number is 6 . In writing electronic configuration, two electrons are usually placed in the most inner shell while the other shells will have 8 electrons each. In the case of carbon which has 6 electrons, only four will remain after 2 electron has been put in its inner shell. Therefore the number of electron in its outermost shell will be four.

assume that life on Mars requires cell potential to be 100mV, and the extracellular concentrations of the three major species ar

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV

By using Goldman's equation:

$E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF}In \Big (\dfrac{P_K[K^+]_{out}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{out}+P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{out} }{P_K[K^+]_{in}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{in}+ P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{in}} \Big )$

Let's take a look at the impermeable cell with respect to two species;

and the two species be Na⁺ and Cl⁻

$E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF} In \dfrac{[K^+]_{out}}{[K^+]_{in}}$

where;

z = ionic charge on the species = + 1

F = faraday constant

∴

$100 \times 10^{-3} = \Big (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{1\times 96485} \Big) \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \Big)$

$100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \Big)$

$3.981= \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \Big)$

$exp ( 3.981) = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \\ \\ 53.57 = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}$

$[K^+]_{in} = \dfrac{4}{53.57}$

$[K^+]_{in} = 0.0476$

For [Cl⁻]:

$100 \times 10^{-3} = -0.0257 \ \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}} \Big)$

$-3.981 = \ \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}} \Big)$

$0.01867 = \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}$

$[Cl^-]_{in} = \dfrac{120}{0.01867}$

$[Cl^-]_{in} =6427.4$

For [Na⁺]:

$100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}} \Big)$

$53.57= \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}} \Big)$

$[Na^+]_{in}= 2.70$

Answer:

Predator-prey relationship

Explanation:

A predator prey relationship is one in which interactions usually with consequential effects occurs between two different species. One species usually feed on the other. The species being fed on are the prey while the species being fed is the predator. In this context, the prey is the ant and the predator s are the ant lions.
