4: The shikimate pathway is critically important and found in plants. Discuss reasons why this pathway is so important and even

essential for all organisms, including animals.
In your answer, emphasize the role of the pathway as a “supplier” of several distinct classes of metabolites.

Answer:

Explanation:

For the growth and flourishing of animals Aromatic amino acids are very important, but because of lack of shikimate these amino acids are not synthesized in animals pathway.But this pathway is found in both plants and micro organisms and they have the ability to produce these amino acids as well as some secondary metabolites required in animals.

There are different role played by this pathway in organisms such as;

1) It serve as a source of Tryptophan and phenylalanie which are important aromatic amino acid.

2)Neuroactive substances such as serotonin,epinephrine are biosynthesized as result of the product from the pathway.

3)Alkaloids that's found in plants as well as antibiotics possessed by microbes, which are essential therapeutical in animals are secondary metabolites that is biosynthesized as a result of the activities of this product of this pathway.

4)Shikimate is useful in the synthesizing of 6-Fluoroshikimic acid.

5) The shikimate pathway is important for the synthesis of a plethora of aromatic compounds in both plants and bacteria as well as fungi.

Is a straight chain, a linear chain and an unbranched chain the same thing?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

All carbon atoms can be connected to a continuous chain in the straight-chain alkane. In alkanes of a branched-chain, all carbon atoms cannot be connected to a continuous chain as a branch or side chain is part of the carbon chain.

The normal boiling point of methanol is 64.7∘c and the molar enthalpy of vaporization of 71.8kj/mol. the value of δs when 1.11 m
maxonik [38]
The answer is 236.5 J/K

According to Δ G formula:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

when ΔG is the change in free energy (KJ)

and ΔH is the change in enthalpy (KJ)= ΔHvap * moles

                                                              = 71.8 KJ/mol * 1.11 mol
                                                             
                                                              =   79.7 KJ

and T is the absolute temperature (K)= 64 °C + 273°C = 337 K

Δ S is the change in entropy  KJ/K

by substitution:

when at equilibrium ΔG = 0 

∴ΔS = ΔH / T

       =79.7 KJ/ 337 K

     = 0.2365 KJ/K

     = 236.5 J/K

The main reason that cs2 has a higher boiling point than co2 is that cs2
OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Inspite of having similar intermolecular forces, CS2 has a higher boiling point than CO2, since it has a greater molar mass. The potential energy of molecules reduces until a certain level as they get closer to each other. Although the polarity of both CO2 and CS2 are cancelled because of their linear structure.
