Phoenix [80]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Ans:

*Carbohydrates

*Proteins

*Cholesterol

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a structure that has several distinct roles in the cell

The plasma membrane is mainly composed of the phospholipid Bilayer, which is a layer of two sheets located in the internal and external parts. The Phospholipids are said to be Amphipathic because they have both properties of Hydrophobic and hydrophilic

*The Carbohydrate Molecules attach to the Plasma Membrane such as to the lipids and Proteins:

when They attach to the Proteins, they are known as glycoproteins, and they help in cell recognition, when they attach to the lipids, they are known as Glycolipids

*Protein Molecules play an important role in transport system such as Carrier Proteins

*Cholesterol Molecules help in balancing the Fluidity of the plasma membrane

hope this was of use

Please help<br> Explain why a molecule that has polar bonds can be a polar molecule.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, obviously a molecule with polar bonds can be polar in itself. It's like saying I am an atheltic person who can just reach the basketball rim with my head and also I can dunk.

But if the question is how can a molecule that in non-polar have polar bonds, well, its because the polar bonds' dipole cancels each other out. It's like a tight rope. If a person pulls in one direction, it intuitively, the rope would go in that direction. However, if a person pulls in the other direction with the same amount of force, the rope stays still. This is the same case. Although molecules can have different electronegativities, the pull of electrons in one direction is cancelled out by a pull in the opposite direction, making the net dipole 0.

This is common for main VSERP shaped molecules like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.

How many oxygen atoms are in 1.60 g of quartz? hints?
Naily [24]
Quartz has the formula SiO2
From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of silicon = 28.0855 grams
Mass of one mole of quarts = 28.0855 + 2(16) = 60.0855 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 1.6 / 60.0855 = 0.0266 moles

Each mole of quartz contains Avogadro's number of atoms.
Therefore:
number of atoms in 1.6 g = 1.6 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.603 x 10^22 atoms

All of the elemnts in groups of 17 of the modern periodic table are classfied as
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Halogens

Explanation:

All the elements in Group 17 on the periodic table are classified as halogens. The members of this group are:

  • Fluorine
  • Chlorine
  • Bromine
  • Iodine
  • Astatine

They are also known as the group VIIA

Their general outer energy level structure is ns² np⁵

  • The first four members of the group are common. Fluorine is the most reactive non-metal and iodine is less reactive.
  • Due to lack of one electron to complete their outermost shell, they are good oxidizing agents and are univalent.
