Using the particulate model of matter explain why gases can be compressed easily?​

Biology
1 answer:
Karolina [17]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Use the particle model of matter to explain why solids have a fixed shape, but gases fill the shape of the container they are in. ... The particles in a gas have very large spaces between them, so the particles can be 'squashed' closer together, meaning the gas can easily be compressed to take up a smaller volume.

Cite particularly the difference in the synthesis of the two biomolecules in animals and plants.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The preceding section reviewed the major metabolic reactions by which the cell obtains and stores energy in the form of ATP. This metabolic energy is then used to accomplish various tasks, including the synthesis of macromolecules and other cell constituents. Thus, energy derived from the breakdown of organic molecules (catabolism) is used to drive the synthesis of other required components of the cell. Most catabolic pathways involve the oxidation of organic molecules coupled to the generation of both energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADH). In contrast, biosynthetic (anabolic) pathways generally involve the use of both ATP and reducing power (usually in the form of NADPH) for the production of new organic compounds. One major biosynthetic pathway, the synthesis of carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O during the dark reactions of photosynthesis, was discussed in the preceding section. Additional pathways leading to the biosynthesis of major cellular constituents (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) are reviewed in the sections that follow.

Carbohydrates

In addition to being obtained directly from food or generated by photosynthesis, glucose can be synthesized from other organic molecules. In animal cells, glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis) usually starts with lactate (produced by anaerobic glycolysis), amino acids (derived from the breakdown of proteins), or glycerol (produced by the breakdown of lipids). Plants (but not animals) are also able to synthesize glucose from fatty acids—a process that is particularly important during the germination of seeds, when energy stored as fats must be converted to carbohydrates to support growth of the plant. In both animal and plant cells, simple sugars are polymerized and stored as polysaccharides.

Gluconeogenesis involves the conversion of pyruvate to glucose—essentially the reverse of glycolysis. However, as discussed earlier, the glycolytic conversion of glucose to pyruvate is an energy-yielding pathway, generating two molecules each of ATP and NADH. Although some reactions of glycolysis are readily reversible, others will proceed only in the direction of glucose breakdown, because they are associated with a large decrease in free energy. These energetically favorable reactions of glycolysis are bypassed during gluconeogenesis by other reactions (catalyzed by different enzymes) that are coupled to the expenditure of ATP and NADH in order to drive them in the direction of glucose synthesis. Overall, the generation of glucose from two molecules of pyruvate requires four molecules of ATP, two of GTP, and two of NADH. This process is considerably more costly than the simple reversal of glycolysis (which would require two molecules of ATP and two of NADH), illustrating the additional energy required to drive the pathway in the direction of biosynthesis.

6. In Chicago "Smiling Gus" Winkler met up with some of Chicago's most famous gangsters. They included:
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Al Capone, Fred "Killer" Burke, and Bugsy Moran.

Explanation:

Augustus "Smiling Gus" Winkler was a big-time gangster who had his fingerprints surgically altered so as not to be identifiable through fingerprint technology. He was part of Eagan's Rats gang and would participate in some of the most notorious crimes such as the St. Valentines Massacre in 1929.

When he moved up north, he met up with some of the world's famous gangsters like Al Capone, Roger Touhy, Fred Burke, and Bugsy Moran. But in 1933, to secure himself, he turned evidence against his friends and accomplices. But he was not to be safe for long, for he was gunned down by unknown assailants rumored to be ordered by Frank Nitti on October 9, 1933.
