Wegner's theory that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as _________ .

1 answer:

7 0

Wedners idea that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as continental drift. According to Wegener, the continents drifted together to form the supercontinent Pangaea (pan jee uh).Pangaea means “all lands.” According toWegener, Pangaea existed about 300 million years ago.

Calculate total ATP produced from a fatty acid of 32 carbons

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules

Explanation:

A 32 carbon fatty acid which undergoes complete beta-oxidation assuming that the fatty acid is fully saturated will pass through the beta-oxidation cycle 14 times to produce the following:

15 molecules of acetylCoA, 14 molecules of FADH₂, and 14 molecules of NADH.

Each of the 15 acetylCoA molecules can be further oxidized in the citric acid cycle to yield the following: 15 × 3 NADH; 15 × 1 FADH₂, and 15 ATP molecules from the substrate level phosphorylation occuring at the succinylCoA synthetase catalyzed-reaction.

Total FADH₂ produced = 15 + 14 = 29 molecules of FADH₂

Total NADH produced = 45 + 14 = 59 molecules of NADH

The FADH₂ and NADH will each donate a pair of electrons to the electron transfer flavoprotein and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase respectively of the electron transport chain, and about 1.5 and 2.5 molecules of ATP are generated respectively when these electrons are transfered to molecular oxygen.

Thus, number of molecules of ATP generated by 29 molecules of FADH₂ = 1.5 × 29 = 43.5 molecules of ATP.

Number of molecules of ATP generated by 59 molecules of NADH = 2.5 × 59 = 147.5

Sum of ATP generated from FADH₂ and NADH = 43.5 + 147.5 = 191 ATP molecules

Total number of ATP molecules generated = 191 + 15 = 206 ATP molecules

Total number of ATP molecules generated from a 32-carbon fatty acid = 206 ATP molecules

A can contains a gas with a volume of 86 mL at 30oC. What is the volume in the can if it is heated to 65oC?

Ber [7]

Answer:

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Old volume of gas = 86 ml

Old temperature = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

New temperature = 65°C = 65 + 273 = 338 K

Find:

New volume of gas

Computation:

V1T2 = V2T1

(86)(338) = (V2)(303)

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible

Goryan [66]

Answer:
The molecules of a substance which must have the ability to move past one another are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.
