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.

Which of the following molecules has one lone pair of electrons?
BigorU [14]
You can automatically rule out CH₄ since it has no lone pairs at all around the central atom. Water has 2. Ammonia is the only Lewis structure that contains one lone pair.

Which of the following is the best example of chemical weathering?
shepuryov [24]

Answer: A. Limestone rocks dissolving in water

Explanation:

B: This is a physical change; it changes an object physically rather than chemically. It does not change the composition of the concrete, only the shape.

C: This is also a physical change because the water is just dragging sand with it, but not actually changing the composition of it.

D: Similar to option B, this is an example of physical weathering because the ice only divides the rock into different parts but doesn't change the composition or complexity of it.
