How does the structure of the steroid EXPLAIN the function of the steroid?

Chemistry
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Steroids have two principal biological functions: as important components of cell membranes which alter membrane fluidity; and as signaling molecules. Hundreds of steroids are found in plants, animals and fungi. All steroids are manufactured in cells from the sterols lanosterol (opisthokonts) or cycloartenol (plants).

If iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days, how much of a 64.0 g sample of iodine-131 will remain after 32 day?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

4 g OF IODINE-131 WILL REMAIN AFTER 32 DAYS.

Explanation:

Half life (t1/2) = 8 days

Original mass (No) = 64 g

Elapsed time (t) = 32 days

Mass remaining (Nt) = ?

Using the half life equation we can obtain the mass remaining (Nt)

Nt = No (1/2) ^t/t1/2

Substituting the values, we have;

Nt = 64 * ( 1/2 ) ^32/8

Nt = 64 * (1/2) ^4

Nt = 64 * 0.0625

Nt = 4 g

So therefore, 4 g of the iodine-131 sample will remain after 32 days with its half life of 8 days.

For any microscope, the size of the smallest observable object is one-half the wavelength of the radiation used. For example, th
vlabodo [156]

The smallest observable object for an electron microscope is 6.6nm.

<h3>Calculation of smallest observable object for an electron microscope :</h3>

Given,

Speed of electron (u) = 5.5 x 10⁴ m/s

De Broglie's formula,

wavelength, λ =h/mu

where,  

h = Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10^{-34} Js

m = mass of electron, 9.11 x 10^{-31} kg

λ =h/mu

= 6.626 x 10^{-34} Js /9.11 x 10^{-31} kg x 5.5 x 10⁴ m/s

= 0.132 x 10^{-7} m

= 13.2 x 10^{-9} m

It is well known that the smallest thing that can be observed under any microscope is identical to the radiation's wavelength for the smallest object that can be seen under an electron microscope.

Therefore, 13.2 x 10^{-9} m/2

= 6.6 x 10^{-9} m

= 6.6 nm

Hence, the smallest observable object for an electron microscope is 6.6nm.
