Answer:

○Two electrons in the outer shell and a full outer electron s shell

○Low electron affinities

○Low electronegativities

○Relatively low densities

○Relatively low melting points and boiling points, as far as metals are concerned

○Typically malleable and ductile. Relatively soft and strong.

The elements readily form divalent cations (such as Mg2+and Ca2+).

The alkaline earth metals are very reactive, although less so than the alkali metals. Because of their high reactivity, the alkaline earths are not found free in nature. However, all of these elements do occur naturally. They are common in a wide variety of compounds and minerals.

These elements are shiny and silver-white as pure metals, although they usually appear dull because they react with air to form surface oxide layers.

All the alkaline earths, except for beryllium, form corrosive alkaline hydroxides.

All of the alkaline earths react with halogens to form halides. The halides are ionic crystals, except for beryllium chloride, which is a covalent compound.

Answer:

The alkaline earth metals are present inside the earth and when they are dissolved in water they form the base or alkali solution. Group 2 elements are known as alkaline earth metals.

They shows several common things like all the members show metallic property. They have low ionization energy and high electronegative energy. The atomic radius increases as we go down the group in case of the alkaline earth metals.

The metabolic fate of fatty acids is dependent on two enzymes, carnitine acyltransferase i and acetyl-coa carboxylase. carnitine
zvonat [6]

The correct answer is the last statement.

If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.

It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.

In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
