How can you tell the matter is conserved in this reaction?

Biology
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

You basically look at it. Count up the atoms in the graphic or the equation below it.

Explanation:

You probably should've asked in the chemistry thread (though this is kind of like very basic biochemistry).

Left side: 2H₂O₂ means there should be a total of 4 hydrogen and 4 oxygen on both sides of the reaction.

Right side: 2H₂O means there are 4 hydrogen and 2 oxygen. Does that mean matter was not conserved? No! The right side also shows an additional O₂, which totals up to a grand 4 hydrogen and 4 oxygen on the right side.

As you can see, if all of the atoms are present in a balanced equation, you say matter is conserved.

Can the effects of UV light on folate explain the full variation of human skin color that exists among human populations today?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The greater amount of eumelanin in darker skin protects folate from being broken down by UV radiation and thus increases fitness among populations in high-intensity UV areas. ... However, it does not explain why there is variation in human skin color.

In stage 2 of photossynthesis, NADP+ becomes NADPH by adding an H+. Where does the H+ come from?
Shtirlitz [24]
Enzymes break up water or H2O into electrons, H+ ions, & oxygen atoms. Electrons replace the "highenergy" electrons that were lost in the electron transport chain.<span>Oxygen is released and the H+ ions are also released. - So the first one would be A. splitting of water or H2O

and the second one is B :)

What is the correct order of events in the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction? 1. Myosin head binds to actin 2. Calci
valkas [14]

Answer:

The correct order is: 6) Sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions, 2) Calcium ions bind to troponin, 5) Tropomyosin moves to expose active sites of actin, 4) ATP is split into ADP and P, 1) Myosin head binds to actin, 7) ADP and P released from myosin, 3) Myosin cross-bridges bend, pulling actin toward center of sarcomere.

Explanation:

The ability to contract is an important property of the muscle cells and is fundamental to animals because muscles not only make locomotion possible but are also responsible for the correct functioning of organs (including the heart).

The mechanism behind muscle contraction is the sliding of filaments in a structure called sarcomere, which mostly involves the presence of actin and myosin filaments.

For muscle contraction to happen, there needs to be a <u>stimulus coming from the nerve that innervates said muscle</u>. This stimulus generates the release of <u>calcium ions</u> that will bind to a protein called troponin and will lead to the exposure of the active site of actin so it can bind to the myosin head. <u>This process requires ATP</u>.
