BartSMP [9]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Collagen is a "fibrous proteins" present in the extracellular matrix.

Explanation:

Protein are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids and is made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur and is found in many foods. Proteins are organic molecules found in living organisms.

There are three types of proteins; fibrous, globular, and membrane.

Collagen which is a fibrous proteins, form muscle fiber, tendons, connective tissue and bone.

Collagen are naturally occurring proteins that consist of single molecules made up of amino-acids, which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It is mostly found in fibrous tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin.

The synthesis of collagen occurs in two stages: intracellular and extracellular.

Collagen is an abundant connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Collagen is a contributing factor to variation in meat tenderness and texture.

The correct mathematical expression for finding the molar solubility (s) of sn(oh)2 is:
lara [203]
Answer is: Ksp = 4s³.
Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation) of strontium hydroxide:
Sr(OH)₂(s) → Sr²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).
Ksp(Sr(OH)₂) = [Sr²⁺]·[OH⁻]².<span>
[</span>Sr²⁺] = s.<span>
[</span>OH⁻] = [Sr²⁺] = 2s<span>
Ksp = (2s)² · x = 4s³.
Ksp is the solubility product constant for a solid substance dissolving in an aqueous solution.
[</span>Sr²⁺] is equilibrium concentration of iumcations.<span>
[</span>OH⁻] is equilibrium concentration of hydroxide anions.

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction<br> ofFeCl3 and KOH in water?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)

Explanation:

First, we will write the molecular equation because it is the easiest to balance.

FeCl₃(aq) + 3 KOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3 KCl(aq)

The full ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq) + 3 K⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3 K⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation includes only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.

Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s)
