First, let calculate the volume of the rod shaped-bacteria:

S = length of the bacteria * surface of its side = 4.1 * (0.45 *0.45 * 3.14) = 2.6 µm3

Now, let's convert the moles into molecules (with Avogadro's law):

0.0037mol/L = 0.0037 * 6.023 *10^23 = 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L

Now let's convert The volume and the concetrnation into µm3 (molecules / µm3)

1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000000 mm3 = 10^9 µm3

so 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L = 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

The answer is  2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

1.what did magnesium and oxygen atoms had to do to bond ?
devlian [24]

Answer:

1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).

2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.

3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.

Happy Holidays!

How do enzymes work?
motikmotik
Enzymes speed up all of the reactions that happen inside cells. They help with digestion and our metabolism. Enzymes can do a few different things like:

Break up big molecules into smaller pieces, so they can be absorbed more easily by the body.

Enzymes also are very picky catalysts, and will only “speed up” certain types of reactions.

Hope this helps you!! (:

Describing a plant and what it needs. Include descriptions of the stems, roots, leaves, flowers, buds. Describe why photosynthes
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Taproot systems feature a single, thick primary root, called the taproot, with smaller secondary roots growing out from the sides. The taproot may penetrate as many as 60 meters (almost 200 feet) below the ground surface. It can plumb very deep water sources and store a lot of food to help the plant survive drought and other environmental extremes. The taproot also anchors the plant very securely in the ground.

Fibrous root systems have many small branching roots, called fibrous roots, but no large primary root. The huge number of threadlike roots increases the surface area for absorption of water and minerals, but fibrous roots anchor the plant less securely
