Paper chromatography is a technique used to separate molecules based upon their size and solubility in a particular solvent. If

pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, which of the following results is most likely?
a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.
b. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into two bands, one that appears blue and one that appears red.
c. Paper chromatography would produce a single band of pigment that is characteristic of that particular plant.
d. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into two bands that appear green.

Answer:

a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.

Explanation:

The primary or main pigment in plants is the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll gives plants their characteristics green colour and helps in the absorption of light during photosynthesis.

Other pigments in plants include carotenoid with its characteristic yellow, red or orange colour; anthocyanin with its re/blue colour and betalains with its red/yellow colour.

<em>Hence, if pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, one would expect the pigments to be separated into several colour bands ranging from green to yellow/orange.</em>

The correct option is a.

A period in 24-point font (.) is about 1mm in diameter. SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 80 nm. The prefix “milli” means 1000, which
diamong [38]

Answer:

Approximately 12,500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses

Explanation:

According to this question, the period described is 1mm in diameter. Since 1millimetre(mm) is 1000metre(m), this means that the period is 0.001m in diameter.

Also, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has a diameter of 80 nm (1nm = 10^9m).

Since 10^6nanometres (nm) or 1,000,000nm makes 1millimeter (mm), 80nm of the virus will be:

= 80/1,000,000

= 0.000080mm or 8 × 10^-5mm

To calculate how many of the SARS-CoV-2 virus will fit into the period, we divide the diameter of the period (in mm) by the diameter of the virus (in mm).

That is; 1 ÷ 8 × 10^-5

= 1/8 × 10^5

= 0.125 × 100,000

= 12,500

Therefore, approximately 12500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses will fit in the period.

What kind of pollution was the most abundant in the US national parks? How did this pollution affect park wildlife and ecosystem
sergey [27]

Answer:

The most abundant type of pollution in national parks at that time was air pollution and it had begun to reduce biodiversity as organisms were leaving polluted areas for cleaner ones, or they simply were not able to survive.

What is the relationship between Endomembrane System, Insulin and Insulin Receptor, activation by phosphorylation, membrane-boun
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The relationship between endomembrane system, insulin and insulin receptor, activation by phosphorylation, membrane-bound polyribosomes, and glucose transport channels is the eukariotic cell, because within it, they work together with the organelles to modify, summarize and transport lipids and proteins from the gut and absorb nutrients.

Explanation:

The Endomembrane system varies from membranes and organelles, but basically, it is structured by the nuclear envelope and lysosomes, the plasma membrane and several cytoplasmic organelles, as the ER, the Golgi apparatus, secretory granules, vesicles, lysosomes, endosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum all working together to transfer, modify and package lipids and proteins macromoecules to the eukaryotic cell, from one part of it  to another, and from in to the outside of it also.

The membrane bound polyribosomes are attached to the cell endoplasmic reticulum. The bound ribosomes, used within the cell membrane or expelled from the cell by exocytosis, will produce insulin and they will become membrane bound to control the intake, protein modifications, fusion lipids and sugar breakdown. The insulin is a membrane bound polyribosomes protein synthesized in the ER, which travels along the endomembrane system. This hormone controls glucose and lipid metabolism  or energy function, if glucose level is high, insulin synthesis is activated.  

Synthesized and traveling through the endomembrane system, the insulin gets to its receptor called tyrosine kinase and activates it, phosphorylating and recruiting different substrate adaptors.

 The brand new insulin polypeptide chains go directly into the endoplasmic reticulum by the ribosome and then transported to where they are needed as insulin regulates sugar uptake into adipose tissue and skeletal muscle through glucose transport channels or glucose transporters GLUT4 within vesicles, which are directed to the plasma membrane, this is also the gut and nutrient absorption.

What are similarities and differences between the organization and structure of DNA in bacterial cells and in human cells?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Both human and bacteria cells contain DNA and both have a outer membrane that controls how materials come into and leave the cell.
