Why can mitochondria be considered the power plants of the aerobic cells?

Answer»

Mitochondria are the “power plants” of aerobic cells because within them the final stages of the cellular respiration process occurs. Cellular respiration is the process of using an organic molecule (mainly glucose) and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and energy. The energy is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules and later used in other cellular metabolic reactions. In mitochondria the two last steps of the cellular respiration takes place: the Krebs cycle and the respiratory chain.

50 ml rum is added to a cocktail containing whiskey and brandy in the ratio 3 ∶ 2. Now, 70 ml of mixture is taken out and 15 ml of rum is added. What is the percentage of whiskey in the final mixture, if the quantity of the cocktail was 300 ml?1. 52%2. 55%3. 35%4. 39%5. 49%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 49%

Quantity of cocktail = 300 ml

Ratio of whisky and brandy = 3 ∶ 2

∴ Quantity of whisky = (3/5) × 300 = 180 ml

Quantity of brandy = (2/5) × 300 = 120 ml

Now, 50 ml of rum is added to cocktail

Quantity of mixture = 300 + 50 = 350 ml

70 ml of mixture is taken out

∴ Quantity of whisky removed = 70 × (180/350) = 36 ml

Quantity of brandy removed = 70 × (120/350) = 24 ml

Quantity of rum removed = 70 × (50/350) = 10 ml

15 ml rum is added to mixture 

Quantity of rum in mixture = 50 – 10 + 15 = 55 ml

Now, Quantity of whisky in mixture = 180 – 36 = 144 ml

Quantity of mixture = 350 – 70 + 15 = 295 ml

∴ Required percentage = (144/295) × 100 = 48.81% ≈ 49%

∴ The percentage of whiskey in the final mixture is 49%

In a particular R-L series circuit a voltage of 10V at 50 Hz produces a current of 700mA while the samevoltage at 75 Hz produces 500 mA. What are the values of circuit constants?

Answer»

(i) Z = √(R2 + (2π x 50L)2) = √(R2 + 98696L2);

V = IZ or 10 = 700 x 10-3√(R2 + 98696L2)

√(R2 + 98696L2) = 10/700  × 10−3 = 100/7 

or R2 + 98696 L2 = 10000/49 ...(i)

(ii) In the second case Z = √(R2 + (2π x 75L)2) = √(R2 + 222066L2)

∴ 10 = 500 x 10-3√(R2 + 222066L2) i.e √(R2 + 222066L2) = 20 or R2 + 222066L2 = 400 (ii)

Subtracting Eq. (i) from (ii), we get 

222066 L2 − 98696 L2 = 400 − (10000/49) or 123370 L2 = 196 

or L = 0.0398 H = 40 mH. 

Substituting this value of L in Eq. (ii), we get, R2 + 222066 (0.398)2 = 400 

∴ R = 6.9 Ω

Bell metal contains 80% copper the mass of bell metal which contains 1.5*1020 atoms of copper is

Answer»

According to Avogadro's constant, 1 mole of a any substance has exactly 6.022 × 10²³ atoms or molecules. 

Find the number of moles in the bell metal: 

If 6.022 × 10²³ atoms = 1 mole 

Then 1.5 × 1020 = 1 ×1.5 x 1020/6.022 × 10²³ 

= 0.00025 

moles molar mass of Cu is 64 

mass = moles × molar mass 

= 0.00025 mol × 64g/mol 

= 0.016 g 

Therefore 1.5×1020 atoms of copper has a mass of 0.016 g 

This 80% of the piece of metal, weight of the mass is 100% 

= 100/80 × 0.016 = 0.02 g 

The piece of metal has a mass of 0.02 g

What are plant cell vacuoles? What are their functions? What is the covering membrane of the vacuoles called?

Answer»

Plant cell vacuoles are cell structures delimited by membranes within which there is an aqueous solution made of various substances like carbohydrates and proteins. In young plant cells many small vacuoles can be seen; within adult cells the most part of the internal area of the cell is occupied by a central vacuole.

The main function of the vacuoles is the osmotic balance of the intracellular space. They act as “an external space” inside the cell. Vacuoles absorb or release water in response to the cellular metabolic necessities by increasing or lowering the concentration of osmotic particles dissolved in the cytosol. Vacuoles also serve as a storage place for some substances.

The membrane that delimits the vacuoles are called tonoplast, named after the osmotic function of the structure.

32.

What are the morphological, chemical and functional similarities and differences between lysosomes and peroxisomes?

Answer»

Similarities: lysosomes and peroxisomes are small membranous vesicles that contain enzymes and enclose residual substances from internal or external origin degrading them. Differences: lysosomes have digestive enzymes (hydrolases) that break substances to be digested into small molecules; peroxisomes contain enzymes that degrade mainly long-chained fatty acids and amino acids and that inactivate toxic agents including ethanol; within peroxisomes there is the enzyme catalase, responsible for the oxidation of organic compounds by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and, when this the substance is in excess, by the degradation of the peroxide into water and molecular oxygen.

A stationary circular loop of radius a is located in a magnetic field which varies with time from t = 0 to t = T according to law `B = B_(0) t(T - t)`. If plane of loop is normal to the direction of field and resistance of the loop is R, calculate magnitude of charge flown through the loop from instant t = 0 to the instant when current reverses its direction.A. `(pi^(2)a^(2)B_(0)T^(2))/(R)`B. `(pi^(2)a^(2)B_(0)T^(2))/(4R)`C. `(4pi^(2)a^(2)B_(0)T^(2))/(R)`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Since magnetic field strength B varies with time, therefore an emf is incuced in the loop ans a current starts flowing through the loop. Due to flow of current heat is generated.
At an instant t, flux linked with the loop.
`phi=pi s^(2)B_(0)(tT-t^(2))`
Induced emf, `e=-(d phi)/(dt) =-pi ^(2)B_(0)(T-2t)`
Induced current , `i=e/R = (pi a^(2)B_(0))/(R) (2t-T)`
Thermal power generated at this instant,
`P=(pi^(2)a^(4)B_(0)^(2))/(R ) (2t-t)^(2)`
During an elementary time interval dt, heat generated,
`pdt = (pi^(2)a^(4)B_(0)^(2))/(R) (2t-T)^(2)*dt`
Total heat generated from `t=0 to t=T`.
`Q=int Pdt = (pi^(2)a^(4)B_(0)^(2))/(R) int_(0)^(T)(2t-T)^(2)dt`
`=(pi^(2)a^(4)B_(0)^(2)T^(3))/(3R)`
The current reverses its sign when its magnitude reduces to zero. Let this happen at instant `t=t_(0)`. Substituting t by `t_(0)` in equation (i).
`(pia^(2)B_(0))/(R) (2t-t_(0)) =0`
`t_(0)=T/2`
`:.` Charge that flows from `t=0` to `t=T//2`
`q=(pi a^(2)B_(0))/(R) int_(0)^(T//2) (2t-T)dt = (pi a^(2)B_(0)T^(2))/(4R)`.
