The distant star, ∆A_6325, is traveling at 70 km/sec away from us and has a peak observed brightness at 400 nm. An exoplanet orbits ∆A_6325 in a transit orbit, causing a 1.4% brightness drop as the planet crosses the star. The ratio of the star’s radius and the planet’s radius is 145:1. The planet was determined to have a density of 2.36 g/cm3. The orbital radius of the planet is 3.14 AU and has an orbital period of 6.32 years. a) Find the mass of ∆A_6325. b) Determine the distance of the star/system, using the most inaccurate method on the intergalactic distance ladder. c) Determine the power of the star. d) Determine the intensity of the star on the …

As we know that the promoter is present in the start of a gene i.e. at 5' and RNA polymerase attaches on promoter to start mRNA synthesis. If it so, then, when RNA polymerase start its function to form mRNA it should be synthesize from 3'-5'. e.g. 5' CGAGGTCC 3' is a gene sequence then promoter region is present at 5' which allows RNA polymerase to attach. Then RNA polmerase moves from 5'-3', if it is so, then in which direction mRNA should synthesize?

Please name 2 of the major building blocks that are derived from glucose and what macromolecules are those building blocks used to make to support cell growth and proliferation? I thought the major building block would be pyruvate? What would be the second major building block? Also I thought that pyruvate would be used to synthesize DNA and Fatty Acids. Feedback or your ideas is much appreciated as I am studying for a midterm. Thanks I think ATP may be the other answer they are looking for.

At the venous end of a capillary, consider these values: within the capillary, hydrostatic pressure is 18 mm HG and colloid osmotic pressure is 28 mm HG. In the interstitial fluid, hydrstatic pressure is 0 mm HG while colloid osmotic pressur eis 1 mm HG. What are the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure? What is net filtration pressure and does fluid move in or out of the capillary?

Hi so the question is as follows and I am not really good at physics, but I really want to improve and get better, so please DO NOT give me the answer, just push me in the right direction, thanks { The natural length of a spring is 10cm and its force constant is 5N/m. Now one side of the spring is fixed and the other side is connected to a ball, which has a mass of 6g. If the ball is moving in a horizontal circle with a uniform speed 10m/s, what is the total length of the spring when it is extended?} I tried using Hooke's Law Force, the Centripetal Force equation and the Force equation (f=ma) but they don't seem to get me anywhere? Is there anything I am missi…

Hi I am Currently working on an structure elucidation, for the compound C7H12O4. From the current information I have I have deduced that it has 2 C=O bonds and at least one OH group. Typically I would use the H-NMR to assist with the structure but, I am confused as there are only two singlets. one occur at 2.6ppm and another at 1.3ppm. with integrals 1.5 and 2 respectively. Any help with this structure would be appreciated

If the Hubble constant were to be 2.0 x10-18 s-1, what would the age of the universe be, in seconds x1017? (1. ) (Find the number by taking the inverse of the Hubble constant. That means divide 1 by the Hubble constant. Just write the whole number that you get as a result in the following blank, with no decimal points or zeros.) What would that age of the universe be in billions of years? (2. ) (Find the number by dividing your previous answer by the number of seconds in a year. Round the resulting billions of years off to the tenths; for example if you calculated 19,779,300,000 years, which is 19.7793 billion years, you would just write 19.8). If the …

Question: "Consider two stars, Star A and Star B. Star A has a temperature of 4505 K, and Star B has a temperature of 8903 K. Star B emits ___ times more energy flux than Star A". I'm just not sure how to do the calculations/set up the problem, I'm taking an online class and the professor has provided little to no details about specific calculations (it is a lab class).

I'm a graduate student in a soil science class. We've all had that one professor that refuses to help, right? I'm struggling to understand what might be simple concepts because I just can't establish a base knowledge for his course. The problem at hand is in the photo. What's the difference between cmolc and cmol? Is it just a matter of equivalent weight? Does anybody have an example or might be willing to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

The cost of an asset is $1,110,000, and its residual value is $300,000. Estimated useful life of the asset is five years. Calculate depreciation for the second year using the double-declining-balance method of depreciation. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)

This is my first post, so I would like to say hi to everybody. This is not exactly homework, but I thought that this was the most appropriate sub-forum... I have problems with measurement uncertainty propagation, so I was wondering how other people cope with it. This is one problem that I couldn't solve so far. We perform radon measurements, and each lasts 3 days. Let's denote the result of radon concentration with xi, and associated uncertainty with uxi. Now we need to calculate average monthly concentration, which is trivial, but also associated uncertainty, which proves to be almost impossible, for me at least. Obviously, standard deviation and standard error a…

Hi! For my biochemistry class we have an assignment to explain how a hypothetical defect of an enzyme in the Kreb cycle could decrease the overall ATP production. We get to choose which enzyme has the defect and explain how it could decrease ATP. I wanted to use aconitase and explain how it could set off a chain reaction of defects causing enzymes to not work properly. Meaning, if there is no isocitrate dehydrogenase, then oxidative decarboxylation cannot take place. Without this process that produces alpha-ketoglutarate and CO2, NAD cannot be converted to NADH. Ultimately without NADH, reoxidation of NADH and FADH2 cannot occur which is necessary to create A…

According to VSEPR theory would I be right to assume that the first image is more accurate rather than the second one as it includes the double bonds present which can’t be shown using wedges and dashes? Thanks Also when drawing a molecule using VSEPR do you show lone pairs that are not on the central atom but on another atom? Or do you only show lone pairs on the central atom and ignore the rest but include them only when drawing a lewis dot structure? Thanks

I'm taking a summer class right now. It's English Composition II, and I just today got an assignment to do a 900-1000 word explication on the poem "Conversation" by Florence Anthony (pen name: AI). Here is an exact copy of the poem that appears in my textbook: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/42541 However, I should point out that, in my textbook, there is a double-space between the lines "and just by accident," and "so inconsequential you barely notice it," suggesting that there are two stanzas. This is important because noticing the stanza breaks is important to my explication. This is the only stanza break in the textbook. We are…
