(High) Heat Capacity

Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 unit degree (Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Rankine). 

Water has a relatively high heat capacity, which means that it would have to absorb relatively large amounts of heat before it could actually have a large change (i.e. increases) in temperature. Conversely, it would have to give off a lot of heat in order for it to cool down.

The heat capacity of 1 gram of water is 4.184 Joules/°C, which means that 1 gram of water needs 4.184 Joules of heat to increase its temperature by 1°C. In comparison, 1 gram of copper only needs 0.385 Joules to raise its temperature by 1°C, which means that copper heats up by about 10 times more than water when subjected to the same amount of heat.

Systemic fungal infections (e.g. Candida and Cryptococcus) and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium) are on the rise. One of the reasons
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) the molecules can be found in the picture below

b) (i) isocitrate lyase ( isocitrate to glyoxylate)

   (ii) malate synthase (glyoxylate to malate)

c)  Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals

Explanation:

b) in the glyoxylate cycle isocitrate lyase helps in conversion of  isocitrate to glyoxylate. Also, helps in conversion of glyoxylate to malate by using malate synthase.

c)   Glyoxylate cycle do no exist in animals, it only exist in plants and bacteria. This is because they can produce glucose from acetyl-CoA in required amounts.They have the ability to change acetyl-CoA from fat into glucose. But in animals, this mechanism is not possible.

Mila [183]

Answer:

1) 5 kingdom system of classification is a type of classification in which all the living organisms are classified into 5 kingdoms i. e. protista, monera, fungi, plantae and animalia.

2) Plants are autotrophic organisms while animals are heterotrophic. Plants have cell wall while cell wall is absent in animal. Plants are fixed while animals move from place to place.

3) Both plants and animals are made of cell. Both plants and animals are multicellular organisms. Both plants and animals reproduce.

4) Plants make their own food while fungi are unable to make their own food. Plant cell wall is made of cellulose while fungi cell wall is made of chitin.
