Fullerenes (like the one shown) are made up of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms (like in graphite or graphene) and alternating pe

ntagonal and heptagonal carbon rings to allow curvature of the surface producing molecules that have a complete hollow shape.
The extremely small diameter of the nanoparticle fullerenes (which act like a cage) allows them to readily pass through cell membranes and be readily absorbed into the body.

What potential benefit does this have in the pharmaceutical industry as well as medicine?




A)
The very small fullerene molecules would keep cancer cells from invading other healthy cells. As a result, it would keep cancer from spreading.




B)
The very small fullerene molecules could allow surgeons to see the insides of cells with tiny cameras as they perform complex surgery.




C)
The very small fullerene molecules could obstruct hazardous chemicals from getting into absorbed into cells.




D)
The very small fullerene molecules could easily deliver drugs directly into cells in a highly controlled manner.

I think it’s 7.41 because you count up all the atoms and find out how many are x (the large grey ones) and you do 2/27 x 100 which gives you 7.41 :) (sorry if i counted wrong it’s kinda hard)

Rock samples, taken from the Moon, contain many of the same minerals as those found on Earth. Why might this be the case?
Feliz [49]
The moon used to be connected with Earth. A meteor hit several billion years ago and split the Earth and Moon apart. This explains why they share the Sam properties.
