Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, convert sustenance into energy, fueling the cell's activities. In addition to power, mitochondria also produce reactive oxygen species, byproduct molecules primed to help facilitate communication among the other units in the cells.

Logging trees is often controversial. Why would some people support logging and some people not support logging?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.

Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.

For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.

Which biomes would be found nearest to the equator?

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

tropical rain forests and savannas

Explanation:

Tropical rainforests are found near the equator due to the amount of rainfall and the amount of sunshine these areas receive. ...

savannas-Because of their warm climate requirements, savannas tend to be found closer to the equator, which marks the halfway point between the north and south hemispheres of the earth. Because this area gets direct sunlight more of the year than the north and south extremes, the temperature doesn't change much.

Glucose (C6H12O6) can be fermented to yield ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2). C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2 The molar mass o

jekas [21]

Answer:

The % yield is 74.45 %

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

C6H12O6⟶2CH3CH2OH+2CO2

Step 2: Data given

Molar mass glucose = 180.15 g/mol

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.08 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of glucose = 61.5 grams

Mass of ethanol = 23.4 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles of glucose

Moles glucose = Mass glucose / Molar mass of glucose

Moles glucose = 61.5 grams / 180.15 g/mol

Moles glucose = 0.341 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of ethanol

1 mole of glucose consumed, produces 2 moles of ethanol and 2 moles of CO2

0.341 moles of glucose, will produce 2*0.341 = 0.682 moles of ethanol

Step 5: Calculate mass of ethanol

Mass ethanol = moles ethanol * Molar mass ethanol

Mass ethanol = 0.682 moles * 46.08 g/mol

Mass ethanol = 31.43 grams = theoretical mass

Step 6: Calculate % yield

% yield = actual mass / theoretical mass

% yield = (23.4 grams / 31.43 grams) * 100%

% yield = 74.45 %

The % yield is 74.45 %

A student was asked to prepare 500.0 mL of 6.0 M NaOH. The student measured 120.0 g of NaOH and placed it in a 1000 mL beaker. T

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The concentration of the solution will be much lower than 6M

Explanation:

To prepare a solution of a solid, the appropriate mass is taken and accurately weighed in a weighing balance and then made up to mark with distilled water.

From

n= CV

n = number of moles m/M( m= mass of solid, M= molar mass of compound)

C= concentration of substance

V= volume of solution

m=120g

M= 40gmol-1

V=500ml

120/40= C×500/1000

C= 120/40× 1000/500

C=6M

This solution will not be exactly 6M if the student follows the procedure outlined in the question. The actual concentration will be much less than 6M.

This is because, solutions are prepared in a standard volumetric flask. Using a 1000ml beaker, the student must have added more water than the required 500ml thereby making the actual concentration of the solution less than the expected 6M.
