Answer: the true statements about eicosanoids includes options A,B,D,E

Explanation:

EICOSANOIDS are mostly produced from the precursor arachidonic acid, a C20 polyunsaturated fatty acid. They are broken down within seconds to inactive residues after synthesis.High concentrations of eicosanoids are necessary for effective action.The three major types of eicosanoids includes:

-prostaglandins,

- thromboxanes, and

- leukotrienes.

Depending on the above types mentioned, they play a role in inflammation, pain, fever promotion, blood pressure regulation, and blood clotting. They also influence the immune response and certain respiratory and reproductive processes.

However, eicosanoids are NOT transported in the blood stream to their site of action RATHER they exert their effects on the tissue where they are synthesized.

Calculate (a) the number of moles of hydrogen required to react with 0.0969 moles of nitrogen, and (b) the number of moles of am
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

moles H=?

moles of N = 0.0969

moles of NH₃=?

                            N₂ (g)  + 3 H₂ (g)  ⇒   2NH₃ (g)

Process

1.- Set a rule of three to calculate the moles of hydrogen

                         1 mol of nitrogen  -------------   3 moles of hydrogen

                         0.0969 moles of N ----------     x

                         x = (0.0969 x 3) / 1

                         x = 0.2907 moles of hydrogen          

2.- Set a rule of three to calculate the moles of ammonia

                        1 mol of nitrogen --------------  2 moles of ammonia

                        0.0969 mol of N --------------   x

                        x = (0.0969 x 2) / 1

                        x = 0.1938 moles of ammonia

carbohydrates are made of carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms bonded together by shared electrons. Therefore, carbohydrates are
SVEN [57.7K]
Therefore carbohydrates are covalent compounds. Since electrons or more specifically valence electrons from their respective atoms are shared to form chemical bonds and acquire greater chemical stability from the bonds, this is present through out this biological macromolecule and is thus covalent.

Choose the incorrect answer below concerning absolute zero.
Nataly [62]
Is equal to 0 k .This is because an absolute zero temperature is the temperature in which nothing can be cooled. The standard measurment for temperature is celcius which is already 0 but when we are converting 0 K to celcius we will gwt 273 celcius which is definitely not an absolute zero
