Codons, which are three-base sequences of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), come in many forms. These forms include leucine, tyrosine, valine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan. mRNA are types of nucleic acids that carry a gene’s message out of a cell’s nucleus. The last two codons are very common; phenylalanine is in many soft drinks, and tryptophan is in turkey (that is the chemical that makes you feel sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner). Codons link with anticodons in ribosomes in a process called translation, which forms a chain of amino acids. Said acids are very important to the body’s functions, as the amino acids influence the quaternary shape of proteins, and a protein’s structure determines its function. So, having derived the above information from pop bottles, AP Biology, and my Anatomy textbook, I have arrived at this conclusion: drinking too much pop or eating too much turkey could unfavourably mutate one’s proteins, thus causing health issues. Surely, one would have to ingest

I mean, it's not like they have a lot of space to work with. How do they manage to get the prescrption right? And why does it hurt when I put one in the wrong eye?

A 6.86 N mass mearsures 5 cm in width, 10 cm in length, and 2 cm in height. It is resting on a wooden floor.

a. What pressure does it exert on the floor?

b. If it is turned so that the 5 cm and 2 cm sides are in contact with the floor, will the pressure on the floor be increased or decreased?




What volume will a gas occupy at 975 millimeters of pressure if the gas occupies 525 cubic cm at 650 cimllimeters of pressure?







A container with equal sides of 10 cm is filled with 500 grams of fluid.

a. What is the force in newtons on the bottom of the container?

b. What is the density of the fluid in per cubic cm?

c. what is the pressure on the bottom of the container in newtons per square cm?

I need to know the molarity so that I can dilute it to make a 1% solution. Someone else made this solution and there is no other information on the bottle except that it is a 1N solution of AgNO3. I don't know how many grams of solid AgNO3 was added to an unknown amount of water. AgNO3's MW is 169.87.
