The reaction 2a + 3b → c is first order with respect to a and
daser333 [38]

Answer:

6.30 M⁻¹s⁻¹.

Explanation:

As the reaction is first order with respect to a and b.

<em>The rate of the reaction = k [a][b],</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

The rate of the reaction = 2.65 × 10⁻⁴ M/s,

[a] = 1.60 × 10⁻² M,

[b] = 2.67 × 10⁻³ M.

∴ k = (the rate of the reaction / [a][b]) = (2.65 × 10⁻⁴ M/s) / (1.60 × 10⁻² M)( 2.67 × 10⁻³ M) = 6.30 M⁻¹s⁻¹.

The secondary structure of a protein refers to the ___________.a. three-dimensional folded structure of the protein. b. configur
Fantom [35]

Answer:

<u><em>(A.) three dimensional folded structure of the protein</em></u>

Explanation:

The secondary structure of a protein is a regular structure built from interactions between neighboring amino acids as the polypeptide starts to fold or coil into its functional three-dimensional shape.

The two kinds of secondary structures arising from this polypeptide 'flexing' are either the  α-helix and β-pleated structures, all of which are vital to globular and fibrous proteins.

Please help need it by 11 tonight!: Express your answer using two significant figures.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

A. 0.064mol

B. 0.85mol

C. 1500mL

Explanation:

A. Molarity = 0.33M

Volume = 195mL = 195/1000 = 0.195L

Mole =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 0.33 x 0.195

Mole = 0.064mol

B. Molarity = 1.7M

Volume = 500mL = 500/1000 = 0.5L

Mole =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 1.7 x 0.5

Mole = 0.85mol

C. C1 = 12M

V1 = 50mL

C2 = 0.4M

V2 =?

Using the dilution formula C1V1 = C2V2, we find the volume of the diluted solution as follows:

C1V1 = C2V2

12 x 50 = 0.4 x V2

Divide both side by 0.4

V2 = (12 x 50) /0.4

V2 = 1500mL

The P:OP:O ratio is the amount of inorganic phosphate incorporated into ATP per atom of oxygen consumed. It represents the coupl
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

For NADH; P:O = 2.5

For FADH ₂; P : O = 1.5

Explanation:

The P:O (phosphate:oxygen) ratio represents the amount of inorganic phosphate, Pi used per atom of oxygen consume to synthesize ATP.

The Chemiosmotic theory predicts H⁺:O and H⁺:ATP ratios. Experimentally these appear to be 10 and 4 respectively when NADH is the substrate, equivalent to a P:O ratio of 2.5, and 6 and 4 respectively for FAD-linked substrates (e.g. succinate), equivalent to a P:O ratio of 1.5.

1. Electron flow from NADH to O₂ pumps protons at three sites to yield 3 ATP (P:O = 2.5)

For NADH: 10 H ⁺ translocated/O (2e -)

ATP/2e - = (10 H⁺/ 4 H +) = 2.5  

2. Succinate (via FADH2) bypasses site 1 giving 2 ATP (P : O = 1.5)

For FADH ₂= 6 H ⁺/O(2e - )

ATP/2e - = (6 H +/ 4 H +) = 1.5
