The statements are;

A) All waves travel at the same speed if no medium is present.

B) Electromagnetic waves require a medium, but mechanical waves do not.

C) All waves travel at the same speed through any medium.

D) Mechanical waves require a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Answer:

Statement D is true.

Mechanical waves require a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Explanation:

The two types of waves are;

Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves require a medium, such as an atmosphere or water, to enable it transport its energy. For example sound waves occur when you clap and thereby distort the air around.

Whereas, Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to enable it transport its energy. A good example would be light. Normally, Electromagnetic waves are usually formed when the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.

So electromagnetic waves can transmit without a medium because electric and magnetic fields can exist independently without a medium.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that the electron carriers move inside the inner mitochondrial membrane and consequently move electrons from one to another. In such a way, they are mobile, therefore they are largely hydrophobic as long as they are inside the membrane.

For instance, the cytochrome c is a water-soluble protein in a large range, therefore, the answer is: C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic.

Best regards.

Which of the following is altered by a catalyst?
Vika [28.1K]
<span>In chemistry, a catalyst can speed up the reaction (or make it initiate easier) by altering the activation energy, lowering it enough to allow the reactants to react more easily. Some negative catalysts or inhibitors can do the same by increasing the activation energy.

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.612 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
