What is Prochirality

1 answer:

7 0

Prochirality is an important concept in biological chemistry because enzymes can distinguish between the two ‘identical’ groups bound to a prochiral carbon center due to the fact that they occupy different regions in three-dimensional space.

One of the great upcoming sports in the Olympics is the sport of curling. Write a brief essay on the uses of momentum collisions

Usimov [2.4K]

The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.

You are carefully watching the temperature of your melting point apparatus as it is heating up. At 132 C it is still a white sol

Lisa [10]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Since the experiment is set out to determine the melting point of the white solid, after missing the melting point due to distraction, there are two possible solutions and both involves a repeat of the experiment.

1. The first one is to allow the molten substance to solidify again and then repeat the experiment. This time around, a critical attention should be paid to be able to notice the melting point temperature once the temperature gets to 132 C.

2. The second solution would be discard the molten substance and repeat the experiment with the a new solid one. Similarly, critical attention should be paid once the temperature gets to 132 C since it is sure that the melting point lies within 132 and 138 C.

Do all cells have the same internal structures

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Each eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, a nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, peroxisomes, and in some, vacuoles; however, there are some striking differences between animal and plant cells. ... Animal cells each have a centrosome and lysosomes, whereas plant cells do not.
