Answer:

Option B  is correct.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. The number of protons or neutrons is the atomic number of an atom while sum of proton and neutrons is the mass number.

The beryllium atom have five neutrons, four protons and four electrons.

The option be is correct model of beryllium because it shows that there are four protons and five neutron in nucleus of beryllium atom and four electrons revolving around the nucleus.

Beryllium is alkaline earth metal.

It is present in group two.

Its atomic number is 4.

its atomic mass is 9 amu.

What element has 47 protons in its nucleus?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

b). silver (Ag)

Explanation:

If you look at the periodic table, you just need to look at the atomic number of the element, because the atomic number tells you how many protons there are in the nucleus of the element.

But do be careful because some periodic tables have the molar mass at the top left corner, but the one I use has the atomic number at the top left corner, so make sure you look for the atomic number and not the molar mass.

Calnexin and calreticulin catalyze the removal of the final glucose residue from glycoproteins during the folding process. True
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) False.

Glucosidase (not calnexin nor calreticulin) helps to remove glucose residue.

Both calnexin and calreticulin rather have an affinity for last glucose residue of misfolded protein (Only misfolded proteins are marked by glycosyltransferase by attaching glucose residue). They attach with misfolded protein and with the help of other proteins like ERp57 (a type of protein disulfide isomerase) and try to fold it properly. If protein is properly folded then glucosidase removes the glucose residue thereby releasing the properly folded protein from calnexin or calreticulin. and now protein is transported to the Golgi body. If folding is still not proper then the same cycle of glycosylation -binding of calnexin/calreticulin and effort to fold it properly is repeated.

B) True.

Transketolase is a key enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. It contains thiamine diphosphate (TPP) as a cofactor. it does transfer 2 carbon residue from a ketose to aldose. So, effectively it converts one ketose sugar to aldose with 2 carbonless and aldose to ketose with 2 carbon more.

C) True.

Theoretically, for the evolution of one molecule of oxygen, only 8 photons are required. But in practice, it is known that there are many variants like wavelength and the energy of the photon. The larger the wavelength, like the one which is used in PS1 (more than 700nM), the lesser the energy. Secondly, the energy of the photon is also wasted as heat energy. Because of these factors, more than 8 photons are needed in reality.

D) Wrong.

Fructose 2,6 bisphosphate is a key substrate and affects both the enzymes- phosphofructokinase and fructose bisphosphatase allosterically during gluconeogenesis. It strongly favors the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis by activating phosphofructokinase but it inhibits fructose bisphosphatase. Hence it activates the kinase enzyme while inhibiting the phosphatase and maintains a huge supply of glucose in the system.

E) Wrong.

The Calvin cycle shares similarity with the pentose phosphate pathway as both are involved in the synthesis of sugar (Triose and Ribose). However, it does not share similarity with enzymes of glycolysis (which is primarily focused on the breakdown of glucose) and gluconeogenesis.

A 1M solution is made of each item in a pair. When would this combination create a buffer? Chose the pairs below that you could
monitta

Answer:

b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO.

Explanation:

A buffer system may be formed in one of two forms:

  • A weak acid with its conjugate base.
  • A weak base with its conjugate acid.

Chose the pairs below that you could use to make a buffered solution.

a. HCI/NaOH. NO. HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base.

b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO. YES. HCOOH is a weak acid and HCOO⁻ (coming from NaHCOO) is its conjugate base.

c. HNO₂/H₂SO₃. NO. Both are acids and they are unrelated to each other.

d. NaNO₃/ HNO₃. NO. HNO₃ is a strong acid.

The diagram below shows the atoms involved in forming table salt. Which statement best describes what happens next ?
Ghella [55]

An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.

In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.

Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻

Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
