A molecule with the formula C18H36O2, would probably exhibit which of the following characteristics?

Biology
1 answer:
Mashcka [7]3 years ago

The answer would be A—the molecular formula given is that of a long-chain, saturated fatty acid, which would be insoluble in water (i.e., hydrophobic).

—————————

B describes carbohydrates, which can function as a storage of energy (e.g., starch or glycogen) or structural components (e.g., cellulose). The three examples just given are polymers of glucose, a monosaccharide; monosaccharide generally have the empirical formula CH2O; this is not the empirical formula of the given molecule (and, in any case, there are too few oxygen atoms for the number of carbon atoms), and so B is incorrect.

C describes an amino acid, likely an α-amino acid, which consist of a central, saturated carbon bonded to amino (—NH2) and carboxyl (—C(=O)OH) functional groups and a variable side chain, which determines the amino acid’s properties. Since the formula of an amino acid must contain nitrogen, which the formula given doesn’t have, the molecule couldn’t be an amino acid, and so C is incorrect.

D describes nucleic acids. Examples include DNA and RNA; nucleic acids and the nucleotide monomers that comprise them contain a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The given molecule’s formula has neither nitrogen nor phosphorus, and so cannot represent an amino acid, making D incorrect.

Que ocurre con el vaso que estaba en el freezer al exponerlo al calor
kotegsom [21]
El vidrio no templado contiene burbujas de aire microscópicas que se expanden y contraen a medida que el vidrio se calienta y enfría, especialmente a temperaturas extremas como durante el enlatado y la congelación. Cuando esas pequeñas burbujas de aire se expanden, hacen que el vidrio se rompa o incluso explote. Espero que esto haya ayudado, por favor, dé cinco estrellas y mentalmente.

There is a mutation in the operator of the lac operon in a cell such that the lac repressor always stays bound to the operator.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Yes, if there is a mutation in the operator of the lac operon in a cell such that the lac repressor always stays bound to the operator. If lactose is added to the cell, the lac repressor loses its ability to bind DNA. It clear off the operator, clearing the way for RNA polymerase to transcribe the operon.

Two positive feedback mechanisms involved in homeostasis
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

Positive Feedback Loop

The direction is maintained, not changed, so this is positive feedback. Another example of positive feedback is uterine contractions during childbirth. The hormone oxytocin, made by the endocrine system, stimulates the contraction of the uterus. This produces pain sensed by the nervous system.
