Prions are proteins with the ability to generate more prions by causing other proteins to misfold into a similar shape. Since prions are proteins, they have a genetic sequence associated with them and their ability to create more prions allows them to reproduce. Why aren’t prions considered alive?

The tendency of water molecules to stick together is referred to as a) adhesion b) polarity c) cohesion d) transpiration e) evaporation

How will the volume of a gas be affected if the pressure is tripled, but the temperature remains the same?

The combustion of methane, ch4, releases 890.4kj/mol. that is, when one mole of methane is burned,890.4 kj are given off to the surroundings. this meansthat the products have 890.4 kj less than the reactants. thus, ah for the reaction = - 890.4 kj. a negative symbolforah indicates an exothermic reaction. ch (g) + 20 (g)> co2 (g) + 2 h0 (1); ah = - 890.4 kga) how much energy is given off when 2.00 mol of ch, are burned? b) how much energy is released when 22.4g of ch. areburned?
