In the synthesis of thyroid hormones, iodine is attached to tyrosine amino acids in colloid, initially forming what two products

Marina CMI [18]3 years ago

Answer:

the products formed are Monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and Diiodotyrosine (DIT)

Explanation:

Monoiodotyrosine (MIT) is a precursor of thyroid hormone and results from iodization of tyrosine at the meta- position of the phenol ring, and Diiodotyrosine (DIT) is a precursor in the production of thyroid hormone, and results from iodization of monoiodotyrosine at the other meta- position on the phenol ring.

Once inside the gland, the iodide is oxidized by a peroxidase to iodine and then bound to tyrosine, forming either monoiodotyrosine or diiodotyrosine. Both of these are then coupled enzymatically to form T4 or T3. The T3 and T4 are bound to the protein thyroglobulin and stored as colloid in the gland.

What is the osmotic pressure of a solution made from 22.3 g of methanol (MM = 32.04 g/mol) that was added to water to make 321 m
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: The osmotic pressure of a solution is 53.05 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

\pi=iMRT

Or,

\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure of the solution = ?

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (methanol) = 22.3 g  

Volume of solution = 321 mL

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the solution = 25^oC=[273+25]=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\pi=1\times \frac{22.3\times 1000}{32.04\times 321}\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K

\pi=53.05atm

Hence, the osmotic pressure of a solution is 53.05 atm

If two identical atoms are bonded together, what kind of molecule is formed?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. A linear, nonpolar molecule

Explanation:

Molecules which are alike usually have the same degree of pull which results in them sharing electrons. This sharing of electrons is known as the molecules exhibiting Covalent bonding between them.

The equal pull also results in the cancelling out of electrons and favoring non polar bonds due to the absence of free electrons which would have been able to interact with H2O in a polar binding system.

How do helpful variations increase in a species over time?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

through natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is the driving mechanism of the evolution of species. Organisms can survive more in an environment if they are capable to adapt the changing environmental conditions. After surviving they are also able to pass their modified trait into their future generations (evolution).

Helpful variations accumulate through natural selection, as the organisms that are better adapted to their environment reproduce offspring with the same variations.
