  • The atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol.
  • The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 g/mol.
  • The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0007 g/mol.
  • The atomic mass of oxygen is
  • g/mol.

So, the formula mass of nitroglycerin is3(12.011)+5(1.00794)+3(14.0007)+9(15.9994)=227.0694 \text{ g/mol}}

Therefore, the percent error is

\frac{193.7-227.0694}{227.0694} \times 100=\boxed{-14.70 \% \text{ (to 4 sf)}}

During beta-oxidation of fatty acids, ___________ is produced in peroxisomes but not in mitochondria. A) acetyl-CoA B) FADH 2 C)
stepan [7]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Normally, beta-oxidation of fatty acid occurs in the mitchondrial matrix, however, when the fatty acid chains are too long, the beta-oxidation occurs in the peroxisomes <u>where the oxidation is not attached to ATP synthesis but rather transferred (i.e high energy electrons are transferred) to O₂ to form hydrogen peroxide</u> (H₂O₂). This is the major difference between the beta-oxidation that occurs in the peroxisomes to that which occurs in the mitochondria.
