What are four characteristics of a good extraction solvent?

Biology
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
4 0

A good extraction solvent should have a strong solubilizing capability for the compound of interest, it should be immiscible or only weakly misciblewith the matrix solvent ( the first solution or mixture containing the compound from its natural source, e.g., water/ether. water/ chloroform, etc. If possible the extraction solvent should be non-flammable, non-toxic or of low toxicity, reasonably volatile, and of low eco-impact. Inexpensive and available, of high purity , and shelf stable. If one is determining the compound of interest by UV/Vis spectrophotometry or fluorescence, the solvent should have extremely low absobance or emission at the wavelength of analysis

• high solubility for the solute and low solubility for the carrier liquid.

• density difference vs. the carrier liquid greater than 150 kg/m. ...

• mid-level interfacial tension (5–30 dyne/cm)

• high resistance to thermal degradation.

Answer: 1) DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) is considered as the genetic material of living organisms ( that is passed from parents to next generation). It determines the structure of protein that carry out essential function of life.

  • For this, DNA possesses instructions in the form of specific nucleotide sequences. First it undergoes transcription, in which genetic information from DNA is passed to mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is finally converted to specific protein through translation.

2) The importance of DNA determining proteins is that the proteins, which are formed, corresponds to specific cellular activities ( such as digestion of proteins, fats, carbohydrates) as well as the characteristics/ traits ( like color of skin, color of eyes) of the organism.

In this way, traits are passed from parents to their offspring through genetic material.

Which of the following best describes a human egg cell? (2 points)
Kobotan [32]
The answer is a<span> haploid cell formed in the female ovary.

A human egg cell is actually gamete cell. It is known that gamete cells are produced in the process of meiosis and, thus, they are haploid. So, a human egg cell must be haploid. Gametes are produced in gonads, which can be either female ovary or male testes. Females have ovary which produces egg cells.</span>
