Answer:

When the pKa is 6.0, we can determine the fraction of protonated H is by:

pH = pKa + log [A]/[HA]

Where

A = Deprotonated imidazole side

HA = Protonated side

Given, pH = 5.0

5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = -1 (take antilog of both side)

[A]/[HA] = 0.1

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 0.1

Given, pH = 7.5

7.5 = 6 + log [A]/[HA]

log [A]/[HA] = 1.5 (take antilog of both sides)

[A]/[HA] = 31.62

The ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated side chain at pH 5.0 = 31.62

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Radioactive labeling is a procedure used to monitor the path followed by a chemical element within  a biological system to demonstrate the source.

Hypothesis:

The free oxygen produced during photosynthesis comes from water.

Procedure.

Single-celled algae were placed in four petri dishes containing carbon dioxide, glucose dissolved in  Water.

In each box the oxygen was radioactively marked.

1 petri dish with CO2 marked. Experimental groups

2 petri dish with H2O marked. Experimental groups

3 petri dish with Glucose marked. Experimental groups (control)

4 petri dish with CO2 + H2O + Glucose, all marked. (control).

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The mRNA interacts with a specialized complex called a ribosome, which "reads" the sequence of mRNA bases. Each sequence of three bases, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.)
