Correct Answer: CH4
Correct Answer: reduction
Correct Answer: Histones are proteins that are present in nucleus in association with DNA
Explanation:
Histones are highly alkaline proteins found in eukaryotic cell nucleusthat package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. They are the chief protein components of chromatin, acting as spools around which DNA winds, and playrole in gene regulation.
Correct Answer: dsp3
Explanation:
The P atom needs five orbitals to form the five P-Cl bonds. It has a 3s and three 3p orbitals, so it must use one of its 3d orbitals to form the fifth bond. These orbitals are hybridized to form five sp3d orbitals that just happen to point in the right directions to form a trigonal bipyramid.
Correct Answer: Lysosome
Explanation:
Lysosome is found in nearly all types of eukaryotic cells (cells with a clearly defined nucleus) and is responsible for the digestion of macromolecules, old cell parts, and microorganisms. Each lysosome is surrounded by a membrane that maintains an acidic environment within the interior via a proton pump. Lysosomes contain a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes (acid hydrolases) that break down macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides. So, they are known as storehouse of digestive enzymes.
Correct Answer: Natural gas
Correct Answer: Caesium
Explanation:
When exposed to certain frequencies of radiation, such as radio waves, the subatomic particles called electrons that orbit an atom's nucleus will "jump" back and forth between energy states. Clocks based on this jumping within atoms can therefore provide an extremely precise way to count seconds.It is no surprise then that the international standard for the length of one second is based on atoms. Since 1967, the official definition of a second is 9,192,631,770 cycles of the radiation that gets an atom of the element called caesium to vibrate between two energy states.
Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas dissolved in water can cause water to become acidic.The acidity of water from dissolved CO2 can be reduced by a base such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
Correct Answer: 1, 3, 2, 3
Explanation:
Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2
Hematite + Carbon Monoxide = Iron + Carbon Dioxide
In this reaction, the iron oxide is reduced to iron, and the carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide.
Correct Answer: To increase the life of the bulb
Explanation:
Argon gas is used in fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs to stop the oxygen in the light bulbs from corroding the hot tungsten filament.
The use of argon in light bulbs prevents the evaporation of the tungsten filaments, which results in increased light bulb life.
Argon is also used to create an inert atmosphere for growing semiconductor crystals, arc welding and for processes that need protection from other kinds of atmospheric gases.
