You have a large bottle of 2% saline solution in the lab (2% NaCl, which is sodium chloride). You need 5 ml of 0.1% saline for a

n experiment. Do the calculation for the dilution you would need to make (i.e., calculate the volume of 2% saline and the volume of water you would need to combine).

Answer:

volume of 2% saline (V₁) = 0.25ml

volume of water = 4.75ml

Explanation:

The requirement in the question is to obtain 0.1% of NaCl from 2% NaCl, and the process is dilution. The general dilution equation is guven by:

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

where:

C₁ = initial concentration = 2%

V₁ = initial volume = ?

C₂ = final concentration = 0.1%

V₂ = final volume = 5ml

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

calculating for V₁

∴ V₁ = (C₂V₂) ÷ C₁

= (0.1% × 5) ÷ 2%

V₁ = 0.25ml

Now, let us calculate the volume of water needed:

V₁ + Volume of water = V₂ (volume of 0.1% NaCl)

0.25 + volume of water = 5

volume of water = 5 - 0.25

volume of water = 4.75ml

Umnica [9.8K]

Rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cell membrane are structures that a protein that is destined to leave the cell would interact with on its journey from synthesis to exile from the cell of his birth.

The ribosomes, which are the molecules in charge of producing proteins, are what give the rough endoplasmic reticulum its name. A specific RNA fragment may instruct a ribosome to move to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and embed itself if it comes across there. The protein produced from this region will wind up inside the rough endoplasmic reticulum, where it will fold and be marked for transport to the Golgi apparatus through the process of glycosylation, which involves the addition of a tag molecule (often a carbohydrate).

Near the nucleus, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is continuous with the nuclear membrane, resembles a network of canals. Rough endoplasmic reticulum-produced proteins are either meant to form a membrane or to be released from the cell membrane. It would be much more difficult to discern between proteins that should exit the cell and proteins that should remain if there were no rough endoplasmic reticulum. As a result, the rough endoplasmic reticulum promotes cell specialization and increases organism complexity.

What does an atomic number tell you?
gtnhenbr [62]
An atomic number of an element tells you the number of protons in every atom of that element. The number of protons is generally the same as the number of electrons too.

The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons combined.
