A certain buffer is made by mixing a weak acid HA and its conjugate base A–. When HA is present at a concentration of 0.5 mM and
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:The ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69

Explanation:

The dissociation constant for formic acid = K_a=1.8\times 10^{-4}

Concentration of HA= 0.5 mM

Concentration of A^-= 0.1 mM

pH = 6.16

First we have to calculate the value of K_a.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[A^-}{[HA]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

6.16=pK_a+\log (\frac{[0.1]}{0.5})

pK_a=6.86

To calculate the ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

7.02=6.86+\log \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}=1.44

\frac{[HA]}{[A^-]}=0.69

Thus the ratio of the concentrations of HA  and A^- when the buffer has a pH of 7.02 is 0.69

How does the immune system function?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Immune system of the body helps in fighting with the infectious agents that are foreign for the body. So the immune system protects us from infection.

When any foreign substance(antigen) comes in the body B-lymphocyte recognize it by binding the antigen through its receptor. After recognizing the antigen, B cell divides into antibody-producing plasma cell and memory cell.

Antibodies produced by plasma cells help in destroying the antigen by getting the antigen recognized by phagocytic cells or by complement activation.

B cells are antigen-presenting cell which present antigen to T cell and then T cell activates and produce chemicals that kill the antigen. Therefore the immune system has many immune cells that activate when an antigen comes in the body. This is how the immune system functions.

If the membrane potential at the axon hillock becomes subthreshold, an action potential will be fired.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Action potential will only be fired when the memebrane potential is above the threshold level.

This follows the all-none -principle.

No matter the strenght of stimulus if the magnitride is not upto the threshold level,No action potential will.be generated.

An example is the flushing of water closet or lavoratory.No mater one tried to flush,if the water in the closet does not fill up to the threshold for flushing,,to propel flushing. not flushing will take place.
