Answer:

III. Fatty acids are less oxidized than carbohydrates

Explanation:

Both triglycerides and glycogen may be used to obtain energy, this is:

- Triglycerides through the B-oxidation, where a molecule is first activated and entered into mitochondria matrix, to be degraded (oxidized)

- Glycolysis, where a molecule of 6 carbons is splitted in 2 components of 3 carbons each (pyruvate)

As an energy reserve substance, triglycerides have 2 main advantages, compared with glycogen:

1) From the chemical point of view, triglycerides have a more reduced state than glycogen (this is, have more atoms of hydrogens), hence these molecules give twice energy than glycogen

2) As triglycerides are hydrophobic molecules, they remain in an anhydrous form (unlike glycogen, which is hydrophilic), and this makes easier to move these molecules to obtain energy

If further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate, then an enzyme is likely
igor_vitrenko [27]

Given what we know, we can confirm that if further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate, then an enzyme is likely saturated.

<h3>What does it mean for an enzyme to be saturated?</h3>

Enzymes work by binding to the substrate in specific zones of the enzyme. The zones are known as the active sites on enzymes. Since enzymes have a limited amount of these zones, once they are all bonded to a substrate, we can say that it is saturated.

Therefore, the saturation of enzymes allows us to explain how further increases in substrate concentration do not result in further increases in reaction rate.

How many moles are in 5.5 x 10-23 molecules of H2O
masha68 [24]

Answer:

0.914moles

Explanation:

The number of moles in a substance can be got by dividing the number of atoms/molecules/particles by Avagadro's constant (6.02 × 10^23).

That is;

number of moles (n) = number of atom (nA) ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

According to this question, there are 5.5 x 10-23 molecules of H2O

n = 5.5 x 10^23 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

n = 0.914 × 10^(23-23)

n = 0.914 × 10^0

n = 0.914 × 1

n = 0.914moles
