False-- most of the time not enough energy is put into the system, so the compounds or whatever cant break down fully into their elements

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is False.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Decomposition reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a substance break down into two or more substances. The general chemical equation for the decomposition reaction follows:

AB\rightarrow A+B

The products of decomposition reaction can be pure elements and compounds.

For Example:

  • Decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

  • Decomposition of water into elemental hydrogen and oxygen gases.

2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)

Thus, the correct answer is False.

Phosphodiesterase functions Select one: a. as a membrane-bound receptor molecule. b. to inactivate cyclic AMP. c. to attach phos
ikadub [295]
Cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are part of almost all major cellular signaling pathways. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are enzymes that regulate the intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP. Protein kinase A or cAMP-dependent protein kinase mediates most cAMP effects in the cell. Over the last 25 years, various components of this group of molecules have been involved in human diseases, both genetic and acquired. Lately, the PDEs attract more attention. The pharmacological exploitation of the PDE’s ability to regulate cGMP and cAMP, and through them, a variety of signaling pathways, has led to a number of new drugs for diverse applications from the treatment of erectile dysfunction to heart failure, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We present the abstracts (available online) and selected articles from the proceedings of a meeting that took place at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD, June 8–10, 2011.
