Before raw data can be used as scientific evidence, it must be analyzed and summarized. One way of summarizing data is to find t

he mean, or average, of a set of data points. What method is used for calculating the mean?

To calculate the mean, you add up all of the data values, and then divide that sum by the *number* of values.

For instance, if you wanted to find the mean score at a home run derby, and you’re given the following numbers for home runs scored by each player:

5, 4, 6, 5, 3, 1

You could calculate the mean by adding all of the score up

5 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 24

And dividing by the number of hitters (in this case, 6)

24 / 6 = 4

So the *mean score* of the home run derby would be 4.

Question 3<br> What part of a water molecule is the negatively charged side?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The oxygen atom in water has a negative charge.

<h2>Definitions:</h2>

Polar molecule: A molecule in which the centroid of the positive charges is different from the centroid of the negative charges.

Oxygen: A colorless, odorless, gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature. It is the supporter of combustion in air and was the standard of atomic, combining, and molecular weights until 1961, when carbon 12 became the new standard. Symbol: O; atomic weight: 15.9994; atomic number: 8; density: 1.4290 g/l at 0°C and 760mm pressure.

Water: A transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, H2O, freezing at 32°F or 0°C and boiling at 212°F or 100°C. that in more or less impure state constitutes rain, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc.: it contains 11.188 percent hydrogen and 88.812 percent oxygen, by weight.

Hydrogen: A colorless, odorless, flammable gas that combines chemically with oxygen to form water: the lightest of the known element. Symbol: H; atomic weight: 1.00797; atomic number: 1; density: 0.0899 g/l at 0°C and 760 mm pressure.

Atom: Am atom is the smallest constituent particle of a chemical element which has the properties of that element. They re comprised of at least an electron and a portion, as is the case for Hydrogen. Atoms of all other elements however, contain at least one neutron.

Proton: A positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei. It is the lightest and most stable baryon, having a charge equal in magnitude to that of the electron, a spin of 1/2, and a mass of 1.673 × 10-27kg. Symbol: P.

Electron: An elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of matter, having a negative charge of 1.602 × 10-19 coulombs, ha mass of 9.108 × 10-31 kilograms, and spin of 1/23, and existing independently or as the component outside the nucleus of an atom.

Neutron: An elementary particle having no charge, mass slightly greater than that of a proton, and spin of 1/2: a constituent of the nuclei of all atoms except those of hydrogen. Symbol: n.

<h2>What is a negative charge?</h2>

A object has a negative charge when it consists of more electrons than protons.

With a partial positive charge on 2 Hs and a partial negative charge on oxygen, water molecules are polar molecules.

Actually, two hydrogen atoms and the core oxygen atom of water are covalently connected. Due to its greater electronegative nature than hydrogen, oxygen pulls the bound electron pair in the middle of the atom toward it.

When illustrating higher electron densities over oxygen, partial negative charge is used, whereas partial positive charge is used to illustrate lower densities over hydrogen atoms.

Identify the true statements regarding alpha-1,6 linkages in glycogen.
frozen [14]

Answer:

a. New alpha- 1,6 linkages can only form if the branch has a free reducing end

b. The number of sites for enzyme action on a glycogen molecule is increased through alpha- 1,6 linkages

c. At least four glucose residues separate alpha-1,6 linkages

e. The reaction that forms alpha-1,6 linkages is catalyzed by a branching enzyme.

Explanation:

Glycogen i is the main storage polysaccharide in animals. It a homoplymer of (alpha-1-->4)-linked subunits of glucose molecules, with alpha-1--->6)-linked branches.

The alpha-1,6 branches are formed by the glycogen-branching enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of about 7 glucose residues from the non-reducing end of a glycogen branch having at least 11 residues to the C-6 hydroxyl group of a glucose residue which lies inside the same glycogen chain or another glycogen chain, thereby forming a new branch. This ensures that there are at least four glucose residues separating alpha-1,6 linkages.

The effect of branching is that it makes the glycogen molecule more soluble and also increases the number of non-reducing ends, thereby increasing the number of sites for the action of the enzymes glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase.
