Answer:
C. 17 grams.
Explanation:
∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.
mass of solute (NaCl) = ??? g & mass of solution = 140.0 g.
<em>∴ mass of NaCl = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100 </em>= (12.0)(140.0)/100 = <em>16.80 g ≅ 17.0 g.</em>

Answer: Glycolysis is stimulated by a high concentration of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, and the gluconeogenesis is stimulated by a low concentration of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate.
Explanation: Fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate (F2, 6P) is an allosteric activator of the key enzyme in the glycolysis cycle, phosphofructokinase (PFK). F2, 6P also acts as an inhibitor of fructose bisphosphate phosphatase (FBPase) in gluconeogenesis. The concentration of F2, 6P is governed by the balance between its synthesis and breakdown, catalysed by phosphofructokinase-2 (PFK-2) and fructose-bisphosphatase-2 (FBPase-2), respectively. These enzymes are found in a dimeric protein and are controlled by a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms. Phosphorylation of the dimeric protein results in an increased concentration of FBPase-2, leading to a decreased concentration of F2, 6P, thus activating the gluconeogenesis cycle. The concentration of PFK-2 is increased when the dephosphorylation of the dimeric protein takes place, leading to the increased concentration of F2, 6P, thus stimulating glycolysis cycle.
Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is ![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B2%7D)
.
And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.
As 
has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of is 
.
According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.
As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.
Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the ground-state ion.
