What happens when a red blood cell takes in helium

2 answers:

6 0

Inhaling helium from a pure helium pressurized tank can cause something called an 'air embolism'. This is eventually a bubble that was trapped in a blood vessel, and therefor blocks it. The blood vessels can then rupture and hemorrhage.

Short answer: The results of breathing in 100% pure helium is asphyxiation, which eventually causes death.

I hope this helps! (If this was a question which had multiple choice answers, feel free to post them in the comment section and I would be more than happy to give you a direct answer to the test.)

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG

Explanation:

A mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. A mutation occurs during replication or recombination. It may be due to base substitutions, deletions and insertions. As per the question, DNA segment forms encodes for the enzyme pepsin is CATTGTTA.

Option TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG is the correct answer. In the DNA segment which encodes pepsin, a purine base (G) guanine is replaced by another purine (A) adenine. This type of mutation is called a transition type point mutation.

Due to base substitution, the mutated segment CATTCATTA will nor encode pepsin.

A spring with spring-constant of 100 n/m is compressed 0.10 m. what is its maximum stored elastic potential energy

Ganezh [65]

Elastic potential energy stored in a spring is

(1/2) · (spring constant) · (stretch or compress)² .

PE = (1/2) · (100 N/m) · (0.1 m)²

PE = (50 N/m) · (0.01 m²)

PE = (50 · 0.01) (N · m / m²)

PE = 0.5 N · m

PE = 0.5 Joule

The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.

Sholpan [36]

The frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Given the following data:

Period = 1 day and 37 minutes.

To find the frequency of rotation in Hertz:

First of all, we would convert the the value of period in days and minutes to seconds because the period of oscillation of a physical object is measured in seconds.

Conversion:

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours to minutes = $60$ × $24$ = $1440$ minutes

$1440 + 37 = 1477 \; minutes$

1 minute = 60 seconds

1477 minute = X seconds

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 60$ × $1477$

X = 88620 seconds

Now, we can find the frequency of rotation of Mars by using the formula:

$Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\\\\Frequency = \frac{1}{88620}$

Frequency of rotation = 0.0000113 Hertz

Therefore, the frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Un trineo de 20 kg descansa en la cima de una pendiente de 80 m de longitud y 30° de inclinación. Si µ = 0.2, ¿cuál es la veloci

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v= 26.70 m/seg

Explanation: Ver anexo ( diagrama de cuerpo libre)

De acuerdo a la segunda ley de Newton

∑ F = m*a

∑ Fx = m* a(x) ∑ Fy = m* a(y)

También sabemos que el coeficiente de roce dinámico es:

μ = 0.2 = F(r)/N siendo N la fuerza normal.

Si descomponemos la fuerza P = mg = 20Kg* 9.8m/seg²

P = 196 [N] en sus componentes sobre los ejes x y y tenemos

Py = P* cos30 = 196* √3/2 = 98*√3

Px = P* sen30 = 196*1/2 = 98

La sumatoria sobre el eje y es :

∑ F(y) = m*a Py - N = 0 98*√3 = N ( no hay movimiento en la dirección y)

∑ F(x) = m*a P(x) - Fr = m*a

Fr = μ *N = 0.2* 98*√3

Fr = 19.6*√3 [N]

98 - 19.6*√3 = m*a

98 - 33.52 = m*a

a = (98 - 33.52 ) / 20

a = 3.22 m/seg²

Para calcular la velocidad del trineo al pié del plano, sabemos que al pié del plano el trineo ha recorrido 80 m, y que de cinemática

v² = v₀² + 2*a*d ( se pueden chequear unidades para ver la consistencia de la ecuación v y v₀ vienen dados en m/seg entonces v² y v₀² vienen en m²/seg², el producto de a (m/seg²) por la distancia d (m) resulta en m²/seg² entonces es consistente la relación

v² = 0 + 2*3.22*80 ( la velocidad inicial es cero)

v² = 515.2 m²/seg²

v = √515.2 m/seg

v= 26.70 m/seg
