Pressure, in the physical sciences, the perpendicular force per unit area, or the stress at a point within a confined fluid. ... In SI units, pressure is measured in pascals; one pascal equals one newton per square metre. Atmospheric pressure is close to 100,000 pascals.

Answer:

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distribute.

The SI unit for pressure is the pascal, equal to one newton per square metre. Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (Ibf/in2), bar and atmosphere, are also in common use.

babymother [125]

Answer: So basically we have to know does the material's characteristics/compositions affect its density?

Explanation: Density is defined as the ratio of the mass of a material to its volume at a specific temperature and pressure. The Density of material is changed by changing its mass to volume ratio or by changing its temperature or by changing its pressure, the density of material changes. The Density of material is changed by changing its mass to volume ratio or by changing its temperature or by changing its pressure, the density of material changes. From the above description, it can be inferred that a material's composition or chemical characteristics may remain unchanged if density changes by changing the pressure or temperature of the material.

All proteins have a primary structure. Fibrous and globular proteins have a secondary structure: α helix or β pleated. Globular
NeTakaya

The correct answer is secondary structure of proteins is formed by the hydrogen bonding between amino acid chains.

Explanation:

The secondary structure of protein is generally stabilized by peptides bond along with hydrogen bonding between hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom such as oxygen.

     The secondary structure both alpha helix and beta pleated sheet are stabilized by hydrogen bonding beside the presence of peptide bonds.

The end result of metabolism is a cellular energy unit called
stepladder [879]


The best answer is ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).

Metabolism is a term referring to the overall processes by which  energy is obtained by an organism. In man it begins with the digestion process, and ends with cellular respiration.

Food molecules are broken down into their monomer units through the digestive process. Carbohydrates are broken into glucose units. Glucose is taken in by cells and used in cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the form of energy that cells use.

Cellular respiration involves three stages namely glycolysis , Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.  From one molecule of glucose, the number of ATP molecules generated through cellular respiration  is 36 to 38 molecules.
