The human ABO blood group is controlled by a single autosomal gene with three alleles, IA, IB and i. Individuals with either the IAIA or IAi genotypes have blood type A. Those with IBIB or IBi have blood type B. Those withIAIB have blood type AB, and those with ii […]

Question 1.1.&nbsp;Rank butane (CH3CH2CH2CH3), butanoic acid (CH3CH2CH2COOH), and pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3) in order of increasing boiling point. (From lowest to highest.) &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;butane < butanoic acid < pentane&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;butane < pentane < butanoic acid&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;butanoic acid < pentane < butane&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pentane < butanoic acid < butane Question 2.2.&nbsp;Choose the equilibrium constant that indicates the […]

Hamptonium is a radioactive substance that decays into two parts Monctonium and one part St. Johnite (i.e. 3 units of Hamptonium decays into 2 units of Monctonium and 1 unit of St. Johnite) . Hamptonium has a half-life of 1 million years. We find a rock that contains 20 units […]

1. The final steps in fermentation appear to be unnecessary: the generation of lactate or ethanol does not produce any additional energy for the cell. Explain why cells growing in the absence of oxygen could not simply discard pyruvate a waste product. 2. What, if anything, is wrong with the […]
