Answer:

To determine the effect of toxin binding, you perform a Competitive Binding Experiment

Explanation:

Competitive binding experiments are very relevant when matters relating to cellular and or molecular toxicity are concerned.

They are used to determine the binding of a single concentration of labeled ligand in the presence of various concentrations of unlabeled ligand.

They are important because:

1. Validate a direct binding assay

2. Confirm whether or not a drug binds to the receptor

3. determine and explore how low-affinity drugs and receptors interact and it's resultant effects

Nitrogen fixation is A. the conversion of gaseous nitrogen into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3). B. preplanned setting
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "the conversion of gaseous nitrogen into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3)".

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is a biological process at which gaseous nitrogen is converted into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3). Nitrogen fixation is performed in nature by microorganisms in the soil. Some of these microorganisms have a symbiotic relationship with plants. These microorganisms convert the gaseous nitrogen into ammonia, which is used by the plant as a source of nitrogen.

How many grams are NaCl are required to prepare 200 mL of a 3.10 M solution?
rodikova [14]

The mass (in grams) of NaCl required to prepare the solution is 36.27 g

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Molarity = mole / Volume

<h3>How to determine the mole of NaCl</h3>
  • Volume = 200 mL = 200 / 1000 = 0.2 L
  • Molarity = 3.1 M
  • Mole of NaCl =?

The mole of NaCl in the solution can be obtained as follow:

Molarity = mole / Volume

Cross multiply

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of NaCl = 3.1 × 0.2

Mole of NaCl = 0.62 mole

<h3>How to determine the mass of NaCl </h3>

We can obtain the mass of NaCl needed to prepare the solution as follow:

  • Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol
  • Mole of NaCl = 0.62 mole
  • Mass of NaCl = ?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Cross multiply

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of NaCl = 0.62 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 36.27 g

In the hypothesis that C. stellatus (a species of barnacle) is competitively excluded from the lower intertidal zone by B. balan
lord [1]
<h2>Competitive exclusion principle.</h2>

Explanation:

The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.

All the possible combination of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce is called its fundamental niche. Whereas, the more limited set of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce in the presence of competitors and predators is termed as its realized niche.

Competitive exclusion principle states that if two competing species coexist in a stable, homogeneous environment, then they do so as a result of differentiation in their realized niche.

<em>B. balanoides</em> can use a wider range of resources than<em> C. stellatus </em>because its fundamental and realized niches are identical . Hence thrives to exclude C.stellatus.
