Biophysicists use an arrangement of laser beams called optical tweezers to manipulate microscopic objects. In a particular experiment, optical tweezers exerting a force of0.373 pN were used to stretch a DNA molecule by 2.30 μm. What was the spring constant of the DNA?Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar. the following chemical equation shows the combustion of ethane. balance the equation by filling in the coefficients. c2h6 + o2 → co2 + h2o

Some technological solutions to problems like global warming meet the specific needs and situations of local communities. an example from india involves converting the solid waste from cattle into clean-burning fuel for cooking. this reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically methane and carbon dioxide, released into the environment from wood fires. when evaluating the feasibility of implementing this solution, computer models are used to weigh costs against benefits. what factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology?

Why do leaves change color in the fall? green pigments break down and no longer mask the color of chlorophyll. chlorophyll breaks down and no longer masks the colors of other pigments. red- and yellow-colored pigments grow and mask green-colored chlorophyll. green-colored chlorophyll breaks down and turns red and yellow.
