Answer:

Precision refers to the change in the direction of the axis, however, it does not lead to any change in the tilt. It changes the stars near the pole, however, does not affect the seasons.  

Nutation refers to wobbling around the precessional axis, that is, half a degree one way or the other. It has a period of 18 years and takes place because of the Moon, it slightly influences seasons.  

Barycenter refers to the point in between the two objects where they counteract each other. The Moon does not orbit around the definite center of the Earth, however, at around a point where the two masses balance each other out.  

The galaxy refers to a huge group of star clusters, dust, single stars, a system of stars, and gas bound together by gravity.

The Earth spins on its axis and revolves around the Sun. The tilt of its axis with respect to the Sun causes the Earth's seasons. The Earth also follows the Sun's rotation around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which is moving through space.

The free energy for the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and water is -686 kcal/mol, and the free energy for the reduction of NAD+ to
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Most of free energy available from oxidation of the glucose remains in pyruvate.

Explanation:

The overall reaction of the process glycolysis is:

Glucose + 2 NAD⁺ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi ⇒ 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H⁺ + 2ATP

Glucose is oxidized to give 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 molecules of NADH and ATP (Energy currency).

<u>Though the free energy of oxidation of glucose is high but only 2 NADH is formed because the most of the free energy that is being released from the oxidation of glucose remains in the pyruvate which is produced in the reaction and thus only 2 molecules are formed.</u>

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Addition of a catalyst can speed up a reaction by providing an alternate reaction pathway that has a lower activation energy

Explanation:

A catalyst is an agent that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by providing an alternate pathway for the reaction that requires a lower activation energy. As the requirement for activation energy is less in the presence of a catalyst, there are more reactant particles becoming involved in the chemical reaction and as such there are more products formed per unit time, or there is an increase in the rate of the reaction

Example of catalyst include

1. Addition of potassium permanganate to hydrogen peroxide to aid in the rapid decomposition into water and oxygen

2. Platinum serves as a catalyst in the complete combustion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide.

Relate the strength of a weak acid to the strength of a conjugate base.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

There is a relationship between the strength of an acid (or base) and the strength of its conjugate base (or conjugate acid): The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base.  The weaker the acid, the stronger its conjugate base.  The stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate acid.

explanation

The strength of an acid and a base is determined by how completely they dissociate in water. Strong acids (like stomach acid) break down or dissociate in water. Weak acids maintains their protons in water.
