Answer:

Mass in nuclear reactions is not strictly conserved due to this principle of mass and energy being quite similar. We know that nuclear reactions release a lot of energy. This energy, though, is actually mass that is lost from nucleons, converted into energy, and lost as the mass defect.

Some mass is turned into energy, according to E=mc2.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation. E is the energy, m is mass, and c is the constant speed of light. Einstein came up with it to show that energy and mass are proportional - one can turn into the other, and back again.

Cytotoxic t cells can attack target cells with which chemical weapons?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

secrete cytotoxic substance which triggers apoptosis of target cell.

Explanation:

Cytotoxic T cells have cell surface receptor which recognizes the antigen present on the receptor of target cell. This interaction initiates the process of killing of target cell.

After interaction cytotoxic t cell release cytotoxic substance called granzyme and perforin. Granzyme triggers apoptosis through the activation of caspases or by making the release of cytochrome c and activation of the apoptosome.

Perforin make pores in the cell and its action is similar to complement membrane attack complex. Therefore cytotoxic substances are released by Tc cells which trigger apoptosis of target cell.

Is o-toluic acid soluble in ether, NaOH?, Is Napthalene soluble in NaOH?

natima [27]

Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.

Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.
