5 Facts about cell division

Chemistry
1 answer:
julia-pushkina [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Cell division is the process by which a cell, called the parent cell, divides into two cells, called daughter cells.[1] When the cell divides, everything inside it divides also. The nucleus and the chromosomes divide, and the mitochondria divide also.

In mitosis, an ordinary body (somatic) cell divides to make two daughter cells.

In meiosis, a cell divides twice, to produce four gametes (sex cells). The first division of meiosis is a special kind of cell division called a reduction division because the number of chromosomes is halved. The second division of meiosis is similar to mitosis.[2]

Three types of cell division: left is binary fission as in bacteria; right are mitosis and meiosis as in eukaryotes.

Cells are the 'building blocks' of life, and cell division is a basic feature of life. For simple unicellular organisms like Amoebozoa, one cell division reproduces the entire organism. On a larger scale, cell division can create offspring from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. But most importantly, cell division enables organisms that are able to sexually reproduce to develop from the one-celled fertilised egg (zygote). Cell division also allows for continual renewal and repair of the organism.

1.24 moles of magnesium arsenate are dissolved in 1.74 kg of solution. Calculate the molality of the solution.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Molality of the solution = 0.7294 M

Explanation:

Given:

Number of magnesium arsenate = 1.24 moles

Mass of solution = 1.74 kg

Find:

Molality of the solution

Computation:

Molality of the solution = Mole of solute / Mass of solution = 1.74 kg

Molality of the solution = 1.24 / 1.7

Molality of the solution = 0.7294 M

1. How does protein substance in animal hide or skin be preserved from bacterial infection during tanning?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1. By being cured

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

3. The cathode will be bronze while the anode will be the silver

4. i) Wastes from industrial processes

ii) Waste waters and sewage

iii) Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5) Three methods to reduce air pollution includes

i) Promote the use of recycled of materials

ii) Promote and use renewable sources of energy

iii) Limit activities that involve the burning of fuels such as encouraging the use of mass transit buses, preventing the occurrence of fires in forests

Explanation:

1. In order to preserve the proteins in the hides of animal skin from putrefaction they are cured with salt to remove by, osmotic pressure difference,  the water content present in the animal hide

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

The calcium oxide obtained from the decomposition of calcium carbonate undergoes a chemical reaction with the sand impurities in the mineral, haematite, to form calcium silicate or s l a g

3. Electroplating involves charging the metal to be electroplated negatively that is making it the cathode and placing it in an electrolytic cell that has a solution of the metal ions containing the metal salts

Therefore, the bronze medal to be plated with silver will be made the cathode while the silver from which we obtain the silver ions will be made the anode

4. Three causes of water pollution includes

Wastes from industrial processes

Waste waters and sewage

Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5.  The major causes of air pollution are the oxides produced from the combustion of fossil fuels such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide as well as chemical gases from industrial processes.

Balance:<br>n² + h² ➡️ nh³ <br>​
seropon [69]

Answer:

N₂ +  3H₂    →       2NH₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

N₂ +  H₂    →       NH₃

Balanced chemical equation:

N₂ +  3H₂    →       2NH₃

Step 1:

N₂ +  H₂    →       NH₃

left hand side:                       Right hand side

N =  2                                     N = 1

H = 2                                      H = 3

Step 2:

N₂ +  3H₂    →       NH₃

left hand side:                       Right hand side

N =  2                                     N = 1

H = 6                                      H = 3

Step 3:

N₂ +  3H₂    →       2NH₃

left hand side:                       Right hand side

N =  2                                     N = 2

H = 6                                      H = 6
