Four research teams measured the speed at which signals travel down a certain type of nerve fiber, and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below. Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 85.0 m/s for the signal speed in the same type of nerve fiber. Decide which of the earlier measurements was the most accurate, and which was the most precise.

His Dalton's Atomic Theory ideas form the atomic theory of matter. Here are his ideas. • All elements are composed (made up) of atoms. It is impossible to divide or destroy an atom. • All atoms of the same elements are alike. (One Atoms of element X Atoms of ement Y Compound of elemeite XandY atom of oxygenis like another atom of oxygen.) • Atoms of different elements are different. (An atom of oxygen is different from an atom of hydrogen.) • Atoms of different elements combine to form a compound. These atoms have to be in definite whole number ratios. For example, water is a compound made up of 2 atoms of 1. What is the name of John Dalton's theory? 2. What are elements made of? 3. An atom of hydrogen and an atom of carbon are 4.

5. | The biochemistry that takes place inside cells depends on O various elements, such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, that are dissolved in water as ions. These ions enter cells through nar- row pores in the cell membrane known as ion channels. Each ion channel, which is formed from a specialized protein molecule, is selective for one type of ion. Measurements with microelectrodes have shown that a 0.30-nm-diameter potassium ion (K+) channel carries a current of 1.8 pA. a. How many potassium ions pass through if the ion channel opens for 1.0 ms? b. What is the current density in the ion channel?

esc An atom of argon has a radius Ir = 71. pm and an average speed in the gas phase at 25°C of 249.m/s. Ar Suppose the speed of an argon atom at 25°C has been measured to within 0.010%. Calculate the smallest possible length of box inside of which the atom could be known to be located with certainty. Write your answer as a multiple of I_ and round it to 2 significant figures. For example, if the smallest box the atom could be in turns r Ar out to be 42.0 times the radius of an atom of argon, you would enter "42.r" as your answer.
