How would you make 2.5 liters of an aqueous solution containing 150mM Tris (the MW of Tris is 120g/mole)? (Hint: Do the necessary
calculations AND then describe how the solution would be made.)

45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.

Explanation:

Recall that:

Number of moles  = molarity x volume

Hence, number of moles of Tris present in 2.5 liters, 150 mM solution:

= 150/1000 x 2.5 = 0.375 moles

Also, recall that:

No of moles of substance = mass/molar mass.

Hence, mass of 0.375 moles substance:

= no of moles of the substance x molar mass of the substance.

= 0.375 x 120 = 45 g.

Therefore, in order to prepare 2.5 liters, 150 mM of an aqueous solution of Tris, 45 g of the solid Tris will be dissolved in 2.5 liters of water.

organisms that lack symmetry are called asymmetrical and belong to phylum porifera/sponges.

organisms with specialized stinging cells belong to phylum cnidaria. stinging cells are called cnidoblast cells.

cnidarians show two morphological forms : polyp (sessile) and medusa (mobile)

filter feeding is observed in porifera members.  

alternation of generation is observed in coelenterata or cnidaria. there is alternation of asexual polyp form and sexual medusoid form. it is also referred as metagenesis.

unicellular organisms, like bacteria, are able to perform all life functions within one single cell. multicellular organisms need many different types of cells to carry out the same life processes. each of these special types of cells has a different structure that it perform a specific function.
