What causes reversal of biochemical reactions?

Biology

Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
7 0

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B. This is distinct from reversible process in thermodynamics.

Weak acids and bases undertake reversible reactions. For example, carbonic acid: H2CO3 (l) + H2O(l) ⇌ HCO−3 (aq) + H3O+(aq).

The concentrations of reactants and products in an equilibrium mixture are determined by the analytical concentrations of the reagents (A and B or C and D) and the equilibrium constant, K. The magnitude of the equilibrium constant depends on the Gibbs free energy change for the reaction.[2] So, when the free energy change is large (more than about 30 kJ mol−1), then the equilibrium constant is large (log K > 3) and the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium are very small. Such a reaction is sometimes considered to be an irreversible reaction, although in reality small amounts of the reactants are still expected to be present in the reacting system. A truly irreversible chemical reaction is usually achieved when one of the products exits the reacting system, for example, as does carbon dioxide (volatile) in the reaction

Write a short story describing the application of the system of classification of living creatures
Citrus2011 [14]
All living creatures are classified into systems and sub-systems based on their similar characteristics. They are divided from bigger groups into smaller groups based on the detail of their similarities i.e. how they look, move, reproduce and how they relate to each other. A practical way of understanding the classification of living organisms is that organisms are linked to other similar organisms via family trees. The classification of all living creatures includes at least four levels: order, families, genus and species.

What would happen if sister chromatids were not pulled apart at anaphase 2​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer and Explanation: Nondisjunction occurs when sister chromatids are not pulled apart at anaphase II. This will cause both sister chromatids/ homologous chromosomes to be pulled to just one pole of the cell.

Since the anaphase I stage in Meiosis I occurred without errors, this would result in four haploid gametes being produced.

However, two of these gametes will be normal, will have the normal number of chromosomes. The other two gametes would have an abnormal number of chromosomes and be aneuploid. One would have n+1 number of chromosomes, and the other would be n-1.
