Answer:

increases the frequency of particle collisions

Explanation:

One factor upon which the rate of reaction depends is the surface area of reactants.

According to the collision theory, reactions occur when reactant particles having the required (activation) energy collide with each other, this collision is inelastic. However, collision of particles having energies less than the activation energy results in elastic collisions and no chemical reaction.

The more the exposed surface area of reactants, the greater the number of particles that come into contact with each other and the more the chances of frequent effective collisions that lead to reaction.

Thus, powdered zinc reacts faster with hydrochloric acid than zinc strips

which of the following amino acids are used to measure the protein concentration by UV? A. His B. Pro C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr
Goryan [66]

Answer:

C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr

Explanation:

The concentration of a protein has a direct relation with absorbance of the protein in a UV spectrophotometer. The formula which relates concentration with absorbance is described as under:

                A = ∈ x c x l

where, A = Absorbance

            ∈ = Molar extinction co-efficient

            c  = Concentration of absorbing species i.e. protein

             l  = Path length of light

       

Tryptophan (Trp), phenylalanine (Phe ) and tyrosine (Tyr) are three aromatic amino acids which are used to measure protein concentration by UV. It is mainly because of tryptophan (Trp), protein absorbs at 280 nm which gives us an idea of protein concentration during UV spectroscopy.

The table depicting the wavelength at which these amino acids absorb and their respective molar extinction coefficient is as under:

Amino acid                Wavelength            Molar extinction co-efficient (∈)

Tryptophan                     282 nm                        5690

Tyrosine                          274 nm                        1280

Phenylalanine                 257 nm                        570

In view of table above, we can easily see that Molar extinction co-efficient (∈) of Tryptophan is highest amongst all these 3 amino acids that is why it dominates while measuring concentration.

When a plant is entering the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis_____.
Andrei [34K]

B). light energy is not required to proceed

Explanation:

In the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, light energy is not required. The Calvin cycle is light independent and it is made up of a series of redox reactions.

  • During photosynthesis reactions, green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide, sunlight and water.
  • During the Calvin cycle aspect, light energy is not required for chemical reactions to take place. The light energy helps to move electrons.
  • The cycle is also known as dark reactions.
  • It is at this stage that carbon dioxide combines with water to form glucose.
  • The reaction is initiated with light energy which produces NADPH and ATP.
  • The Calvin cycle follows by using the NADPH and ATP to produce glucose in the dark phase.
