Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The classification of the given component of a sphingoglycolipid whether being a part of its “head” or part of its “tail” has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The lipid that is composed of one fatty acid and one carbohydrate unit which is joined to a sphingosine molecule is known as sphingoglycolipid. The fatty acid of sphingoglycolipid is also joined to the sphingosine molecule with the help of amide linkage. The carbohydrate unit joined to a sphingosine molecule with the help of glycosidic linkage.

- Amorphous polymers are usually transparent and semi-crystalline polymers are usually opaque. Correct?(a) No. They are all made up of polymer chains. True if they were monomers.(b) Yes. The arrangement of the chains determines the passage of light.(c) No. It is the other way around.(d) Crystallinity or amorphousness does not affect the transparency or opacity of the material.arrow_forwardThe name ferrites refers to a family of(a) ceramic materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.(b) polymeric materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.(c) concrete-based materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.(d) superconducting materials that exhibit ferrimagnetic behavior due to their ionic composition.arrow_forwardState the two main factors affecting ion packing in the solid state.(a) Number of covalent bonds and their unsaturation.(b) Mechanical properties and degradation temperature.(c) Number of crystalline phases present and grain size.(d) Electroneutrality and ion size.arrow_forward
- The ceramic materials alumina (Al2O3) and chromium oxide (Cr2O3) form an isomorphic phase diagram. The solubility will be(a) unlimited of one ceramic in the other.(b) very limited depending on the weight % of Al2O3(c) very limited depending on the weight % of Cr2O3(d) partial of one ceramic in the other.arrow_forwardAmong the main characteristics of optical fibers, indicate which of the following is not included:(a) Opacity and Rigidity(b) Flexibility(c) Transparency(d) Low thicknessarrow_forwardMost ceramic materials have low thermal conductivities because(a) Electron mobility is strongly restricted due to their strong ionic-covalent bonding.(b) False, in general they are excellent thermal conductors (they are used in ovens).(c) Electron mobility is dependent on T and therefore they are poor conductors at high temperatures.(d) Electron mobility is highly restricted by secondary bonds.arrow_forward
- Si increases its conductivity when doped with Ga and P.(a) True, because the conduction mechanism is due to electrons and holes generated by Ga and P as the case may be.(b) True, because a completely different compound is generated.(c) False, because when impurities are introduced, the opposite occurs.(d) False, because the conductivity of Si is only determined by the increase in temperature, which must be controlled.arrow_forwardIndicate whether a configuration and a microstate are the same:a) Yesb) No, a microstate encompasses several configurationsc) No, a configuration is the same as a macrostated) No, a configuration encompasses several microstatesarrow_forwardThe representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a gas, with increasing temperature the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/s. Correct?arrow_forward
- The representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a gas, as the temperature increases:a) it becomes more flattenedb) the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/sExplain it.arrow_forwardThe velocity distribution function of gas moleculesa) is used to measure their velocity, since the small size of gas molecules means that it cannot be measured in any other wayb) is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocitiesarrow_forwardExplain why in the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas, the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/s.arrow_forward
