Summary Introduction

Introduction:

All organisms and things around us are made from matter and matter is composed of atoms and molecules. Atoms combine together to make molecules and hence atoms are the fundamental units of matter. Atoms are further made up of three subatomic particles known as electrons, protons and neutrons.

Answer to Problem 1TY

Option (b) protons and neutrons.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (b) protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and make up the atomic mass of the atom. The electrons move around in the orbitals surrounding the atom and do not form a part of the nucleus. So, the correct answer is option (b).

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (a) Protons and electrons. The electrons are present in the orbitals that surround the nucleus of the atom. They are not present in the nucleus. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (c) protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom but the electrons do not. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (d) neutrons and electrons. The neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom but electrons are not. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (e) electrons. Electrons are present in the orbitals of an atom and not in the nucleus. So, this is an incorrect answer.

. Consider a base substitution mutation that occurred in a DNA sequence that resulted in a change in the encoded protein from the amino acid glutamic acid to aspartic acid. Normally the glutamic acid amino acid is located on the outside of the soluble protein but not near an active site. O-H¨ A. What type of mutation occurred? O-H B. What 2 types of chemical bonds are found in the R-groups of each amino acid? The R groups are shaded. CH2 CH2 CH2 H2N-C-COOH H2N-C-COOH 1 H Glutamic acid H Aspartic acid C. What 2 types of bonds could each R-group of each of these amino acids form with other molecules? D. Consider the chemical properties of the two amino acids and the location of the amino acid in the protein. Explain what effect this mutation will have on this protein's function and why.
engineered constructs that consist of hollow fibers are acting as synthetic capillaries, around which cells have been loaded. The cellular space around a single fiber can be modeled as if it were a Krogh tissue cylinder. Each fiber has an outside “capillary” radius of 100 µm and the “tissue” radius can be taken as 200 µm. The following values apply to the device:R0 = 20 µM/secaO2 = 1.35 µM/mmHgDO2,T = 1.67 x 10-5 cm2/secPO2,m = 4 x 10-3 cm/secInstead of blood inside the fibers, the oxygen transport and tissue consumption are being investigated by usingan aqueous solution saturated with pure oxygen. As a result, there is no mass transfer resistance in the synthetic“capillary”, only that due to the membrane itself. Rather than accounting for pO2 variations along the length ofthe fiber, use an average value in the “capillary” of 130 mmHg.Is the tissue fully oxygenated?
Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase
