Answer:
Nucleic acid is an important class of macromolecules found in all cells and viruses. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins.
A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that participate in protein synthesis.
Answer:
carbon atoms tend to make four bonds, each carbon atom will have the number of hydrogen atoms that are required for four bonds. This compound contains 16 hydrogen atoms for a molecular formula of C 8 H 16.
Explanation:
<u>Plum Pudding Model(Thomson's atomic model)</u>
- Thomson's atomic model states that an atom has a positive sphere charge with electrons embedded inside it. He compared the atom with a plum pudding,as the electrons according to him seemed like the dry fruits embedded in the spherical pudding.
<u>Rutherford's Model</u>
- However Rutherford bombarded high energy streams of α-particles on a thin gold foil of 100 nm thickness. The deflection produced by the trajectory of these high energy α-particles after interaction with the thin sheet of gold was studied by placing a screen made up of zinc sulfide around the gold foil.
- The major observations made by Rutherford were that a very huge fraction of α-particles passed through the gold sheet without getting deflected. Thus he concluded that the major part of an atom must be empty.
- Very few α-particles got deflected minutely or at very small angles by the gold sheet when they were bombarded against it. Also very few particles got deflected at large angles. This made him conclude that the positive charge is concentrated in a very small region and is not distributed uniformly.
From the above observations he gave the following postulates:
- An atom is made up of positively charged particles. The mass of an atom was concentrated in small region which is named as the nucleus of an atom.
- The nucleus is surrounded by electrons which are negatively charged particles which revolve around the nucleus in a fixed circular path called as “orbits.”
- An atom is electrically neutral because electrons are negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged. The electrons are held by the nucleus due to a strong electrostatic force.
- Compared to the total size of an atom the size of the nucleus is very small.
8) The gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects. It can be expressed mathematically as:
F = G m₁*m₂/d² ------(1)
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of two interacting systems
d = distance between them
G = gravitational constant
Thus according to equation(1), the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the objects. Greater the masses, stronger will be the force of attraction.
In this case, the distance (d) and the one of the masses i.e. mass of earth would be the same for both situations. However, since an elephant would weigh more than a human, the gravitational force will be stronger between an elephant and earth.
9) Since the masses of spheres is the same, the gravitational force between the red and blue spheres would be the same as well, provided the distance d remains constant.
<span>Magnesium is a strong anode than calcium. So, Mg will be oxidized into Mg2+. So instead of having Ca being the reducing agent, Mg will takes its place. That's how the "Blocking" occur.
</span><span>Without Ca2+, no neurotransmitter was released because the exocytosis of the synaptic vesicles is dependent upon Ca2+.
</span>So, when magnesium is added to the extracellular fluid it blocks the calcium channels and inhibits the release of <span>neurotransmitter.</span>
