The pKa for the side chain of histidine is 6.0. What is the ratio of the deprotonated imidazole side chain to the protonated sid

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

What is true about the absorption and storage of fat-soluble versus water-soluble vitamins in the body?
rodikova [14]
The right answer is "<span>fat soluble are stored in the liver and fatty tissue ...".

Lipids are essentially stored as fatty acids in the cytoplasm of adipocytes. All of these cells form adipose tissue, commonly called "fat".These reserves are much larger in quantity than the reserves in the form of glycogen, in the human body.

"<span>water-soluble vitamins can build to toxic levels ..." is false, hydrosoluble vitamins are rarely toxic, even at high concentrations, and even if they are toxic (which is very rare) is it not due to their circulation in the bloodstream, it is due to their accumulation in cells.</span>

Cholesterol is an organic steroid in mammalian cells that controls membrane permeability and fluidity. How many hydrigens
Kisachek [45]

There are 46 atoms of hydrogen inside the cholesterol.

The formula of cholesterol is C27H46O, meaning that besides hydrogen it contains 27 atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen.

Cholesterol can be found in large concentrations within the liver, spinal cord, and brain providing the stability of the cell membranes.

One reason that multiple approaches are often taken to answer a testable question is that scientists
Tju [1.3M]
<span>look at each perspective on how the phenomenon might have took place in a different kind of perspective. Multiple approaches are explored to see which condition fits and answers the query the most -accurate and reliably.

developing a technique for observing an object that has yet to be observed


</span>Thus, to achieve the creative approach above the researchers must utilize and apply the scientific method in gathering, interpreting and analyzing empirical evidence. 

<span>Empirical evidence, data or knowledge is an obtained set of facts or figures or existing and presenting data that was yielded during the process of experimentation or scientific discovery. These empirical data or evidence is further studied and investigated by the scientist in a formal scientific approach which follows the steps of observation, making a hypothesis, gathering data, interpreting data and evaluating the data. These steps of the scientific approach are vital in the course to explain and discuss the result and evidence obtained during the process.

Question 3
LenKa [72]

Answer:

B is the correct answer.

A is incorrect because respiration is always occuring in animals and plants, therefore it means it does not require the presence of light. Photosynthesis does produce ATP, though.

Not C because photosynthesis does not occur in animals

Not D because they both are  different processes. They don't really depend on each other, though they could occur at the same time.
