Answer:

66986.51 g/mol

Explanation:

According to this question, Hemoglobin- an oxygen carrying compound in the blood, is found to contain 0.3335% iron (Fe) by mass.

* One molecule of hemoglobin contains four atoms of iron

If 1 atom of Fe = 55.85g/mol

Then 4 atoms = 4 × 55.85 = 223.4g/mol

So there are 223.4g/mol of Fe in one molecule of hemoglobin

If hemoglobin contains 0.3335% iron by mass, this mathematically means that:

223.4g/mol of Fe ÷ molar mass of hemoglobin = 0.3335%

That is;

223.4/M.M = 0.3335/100

Cross multiply

0.3335 M.M = 22340

M.M = 22340 ÷ 0.3335

M.M = 66986.51

Hence, the molar mass of hemoglobin is 66986.51g/mol.

The median is 12.6.



Explanation:

To find the median you list them from greatest to least then whatever number is in the middle is your median.


11.8, 11.9, 11.9, 12.2, 12.3, 12.9, 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, 13.7

So the middle two numbers are 12.9 and 12.3 so you would find the average by adding them together and dividing by 2.

12.3+12.9=25.2
25.2/2=12.6

True or false: Most muscles contain a combination of all three muscle types, slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic
kkurt [141]

Thanks to what we know about muscles and the fibers they contain, we can confirm that the statement in the question is in fact true.

Muscle is a type of tissue which due to coordinated systems that make up their composition, have the ability to contract. This ability allows for greater efficiency. In humans, the muscle systems are classified into three kinds:

  1. Cardiac muscle
  2. Skeletal muscle
  3. Smooth muscle

Despite the different classifications and functions of each muscle type, each of these muscles contains a combination of three types of muscle fibers, which are the fibers listed in the question:

  1. Slow oxidative
  2. Fast oxidative
  3. Fast glycolytic.
