Problem 10.23 in book: There are 3.4 billion base pairs lined up end to end in one human DNA molecule, which contains the entire

genetic code for the makeup of an individual person. Each base pair measures approximately 350 pm in length, and almost every cell in the body contains two complete DNA molecules. (a) If one DNA molecule was stretched end to end, how far would it stretch

Solution :

The total number of the base pairs in a human DNA molecule is given as

= 3.4 billion

= 3,400,000,000

The length of each of the pair of DNA  = 350 pm

                                                            $=350 \times 10^{-12} \ m$

a). Therefore the maximum length of the DNA when it is completely stretched end to end can be found out as  $=350 \times 10^{-12} \times 3,400,000,000 $

                                                                  = 1.19 m

                                                                  = 0.00119 km

Now 1 km = 0.6213711 miles

∴ 0.00119 km would be = 0.00119  x 0.6213711

                                     = 0.000739432 miles.

The cells that make up muscle are specialized to do their job by having many ?
Len [333]
<span>it is Cardiac muscle tissue. Cardiac muscle tissue is an extremely specialized form of muscle tissue that has evolved to pump blood throughout the body. In fact, cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass. The heart beats powerfully and continuously throughout an entire lifetime without any rest, so cardiac muscle has evolved to have incredibly high contractile strength and endurance. And because the heart maintains its own rhythm, cardiac muscle has developed the ability to quickly spread electrochemical signals so that all of the cells in the heart can contract together as a team....</span>

What does the chlorplast do
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. By doing so, they sustain life on Earth. Chloroplasts also provide diverse metabolic activities for plant cells, including the synthesis of fatty acids, membrane lipids, isoprenoids, tetrapyrroles, starch, and hormones.
