8. Skin cancer is a disease that occurs when skin cells grow in an uncontrolled way. It can be caused by UV light, which can alter the genetic sequence of skin cells. Which choice below best describes how UV
light might cause skin cancer?
a. UV light changes the genetic code that makes the proteins in the skin cell. The new code
changes the structure and function of these proteins. When the proteins that control cell
growth change in a way that makes them no longer work, cancer is the result.
b. UV light changes the shape of the proteins in the skin cells. These proteins change the
genes in the cell. This makes the cell grow uncontrollably resulting in cancer.
C. UV light makes skin cells grow faster. Overtime, the skin cells adapt to the UV light by
growing faster and faster. Eventually they grow so fast that their growth is no longer
controlled, this results in cancer.
d. None of the above.

Predict the products of the following acid-base reactions, and predict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the reaction arrow. part ao2-(aq)+h2o(l)< => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. o2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => oh-(aq)+oh-(aq)part bpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. part cch3cooh(aq)+hs? (aq) < => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. ch3cooh(aq)+hs-(aq) < => h2s(aq)+c2h3o2-(aq)h2s(aq)+c2h3o2-( aq)part dpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. ch3cooh is a weaker acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the right. ch3cooh is a weaker acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the left. ch3cooh is a stronger acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the right. ch3cooh is a stronger acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the left. part eno2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. no2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => part fpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. hno2 is a stronger acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the right. hno2 is a weaker acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the left. hno2 is a stronger acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the left. hno2 is a weaker acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the right.
