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.

When sugar crystals dissolve in water the level of water does not rise appreciably why?
Vlad [161]
Water molecules have space in between them. They are not packed tightly in liquid form. So the dissolved sugar molecules fill the intermolecular space in between the water molecules. This is why you cannot really see a rise in water level.

What interpretation can be made from an igneous rock body (such as granite) that has baked or metamorphosed the adjacent rocks?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Igneous rocks are constructed due to the cooling and solidification of molten magma. For example, Granite, Basalt, and Diorite. This solidification or crystallization process can take place below the earth's surface or at the earth's surface. These are often known as the intrusive (when magma crystallizes at a certain depth) and the extrusive (when crystallizes at the surface) igneous rocks.

Before the crystallization of magma and turning into granitic rocks, the molten magma present below the earth's surface, heats up the surrounding country rock, resulting in the alteration of its constituent minerals and rocks. When this radiated heat from the magma is extremely high, then it slowly leads to the changing of a rock type into metamorphic rocks.
