Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Factors

To determine the factors that influence the amount of gas water can hold, we need to consider the physical and chemical properties of water and gases.

Step 2: Analyze Each Factor
  • Temperature: As temperature increases, the solubility of gases in water generally decreases. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy for gas molecules to escape from the water.
  • Salinity: Higher salinity reduces the solubility of gases in water. This is due to the "salting-out" effect, where dissolved salts compete with gas molecules for space in the water.
  • Pressure: Increased pressure increases the solubility of gases in water. According to Henry's Law, the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid.
Step 3: Conclusion

All three factors—temperature, salinity, and pressure—play a role in determining the amount of gas water can hold.

A researcher introduces double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into a culture of mammalian cells in an effort to stop the expression of a particular protein. The researcher can identify the location of the dsRNA and that of its smaller subsections experimentally, using a fluorescent probe. Some time later, she finds that the introduced RNA separates into single-stranded RNAs, one of which is degraded. Which of the following will provide evidence that the remaining single-stranded RNA is active? - The rate of accumulation of the polypeptide to be translated from the target mRNA is reduced - The amount of miRNA is multiplied by its replication - The cell's translation ability is entirely shut down - The concentration of Drosha is reduced - The rate of single-stranded RNA degradation is increasing
