[Ca2+] within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is 10-3M. Cytosolic [Ca2+] is 10-7M. Lysosomes in mammalian cells have an internal

pH of 4.0. Cytosolic pH of a typical mammalian cell is 7.0. Which transport reaction has a greater (more positive) Delta Gc, H+ import into lysosomes or Ca2+import into the ER?A. H+ import into the lysosome because it has the steeper concentration gradient.B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient.C. H+ import into the lysosome because it is a monovalent cation.D. Ca2+ import into the ER because it is a divalent cation.E. Delta Gc is the same for both ions because their concentration gradients are the same.

Answer:

B. Ca2+ import into the ER because it has the steeper concentration gradient

Explanation:

ΔGt =  RT㏑(C₂/C₁)

where ΔGt is the free energy change for transport; R = 8.315 J/mol; T = 298 K; C₂/C₁ is ratio of concentrations inside and outside each organelle.

For Ca²⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑(10⁻³/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt= 3.42 kJ/mol

For H⁺ import

ΔGt = 8.315 J/mol * 298 K * ㏑ (10⁻⁴/10⁻⁷)

ΔGt = 2.73 kJ/mol

From the above values, ΔGt is greater for Ca²⁺ import because it has a steeper concentration gradient

A 25.0-ml sample of hno3 solution requires 35.7 ml of 0.108 m na2co3 to completely react with all of the hno3 in the solution. w
Rasek [7]
If we write the equation of the reaction that will take place, it is:
2HNO₃ + Na₂CO₃ → 2NaNO₃ + H₂CO3

The molar ratio of 2HNO₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 1 : 2
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
M₁V₁ = 2M₂V₂
Where the left side of the equation has the molarity and volume of HNO₃ and the right side has the molarity and concentration of Na₂CO₃. Substituting:
M₁ = (2 x 0.108 x 35.7) / 25
M₁ = 0.308 M

Which of the following are benefits of Earth's atmosphere? Select all that apply Exchanges gases with the hydrosphere, recycling
VikaD [51]
Let's evaluate each choice. For the first choice, this is correct. Hydrosphere consist of all the water's in the Earth's surface. It interacts with the atmosphere through reaeration, so that water cycle continues on. The second option is correct, this is known as the greenhouse effect. The third option is incorrect, because the opposite is true, which makes the fourth option correct. The fifth option is incorrect because the atmosphere has nothing to do with the Earth's crust. <em>So, the answers are: A, B, and D.</em>
