When the concentration of the soil solutes is low, the absorption of water

[A]: The driving force for passive absorption is non metabolic in origin. [R]: The driving force for active absorption is energy derived from the metabolic processes.

How many high-energy phosphate bond equivalents are utilized in the process of activation of amino acids for protein synthesis?

Artificial kidney is a device to remove nitrogenous waste products from the blood through dialysis. In case of kidney failure, an artifical kidney can be used. Dialysis is the procedure used in artificial kidney to replace a non-functional or damaged kidney. In the process, blood of the patient is allowed to pass through the long cellulose tubes dipped in a tank containing dialysing solution having same ionic concentration as plasma. The waste substances diffuse out of blood into the tank and the cleansed blood is returned back into the patient through a vein. What is the unit of kidney ?

''Problems of heart that can be accelerated by bad kidney and vice - versa.'' Comment on this statement by giving reason.

[A]: Passive absorption of a substance occurs from its lower to higher chemical poten- tial across the membrane. [R]: Active absorption occurs across a mem- brane from its higher to lower chemical po- tential i:e., along the concentration gradient

Give reasons for the following: a. Ionic compounds in general have high melting and boiling points. b. Highly reactive metals cannot be obained from their oxides by heating them with carbon. c. Copper vessel get a green coat when left exposed to air in the rainy season.

Carbohydrates are compounds containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen having the atomic ratio of H : O as 2 : 1 . When heated in the absence of air, these compounds decompose to form carbon and water. a. If 310 g of a carbohydrates leaves a residue of 124 g of carbon on heating in absence of air, whatis the empirical formula of the carbohydrate? If 0.0833 mole of hte carbohydrate contains 1.0 g hydrogen , what is the molecular formula of the carbohydrate?

(a) Most of the metals acquire a dull surface when exposed to air . Name the chemical phenomenon responsible for this process. (b) State the conditions under which the iron articles get rusted . Design an activity to investigate the conditions necessary for rusting .
