Answer:

The correct answer is 1 glycogen degradation would slow down.

Explanation:

Glycogen is the principle storage polysaccharide present in the liver and muscle of human body.

Glycogen contain both alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage and alpha -1,6-glycosidic linkage.During glycogenolysis some glucose residues are transferred from branch point of the glycogen to its end and thereafter a single glucose residue is linked to the branch point of glycogen by alpha-1,6-glycosidic linkage.

The alpha-1,6-glycosidic linked glucose of glycogen is finally get separated from glycogen by the catalytic activity of alpha-1,6-glycosidase enzyme in the final step of glycogenolysis.

According to the given question if there is no alpha-1,6-glycosidic linkage in the glycogen then glycogen degradation will slow down.

Ketones undergo a reduction when treated with sodium borohydride, NaBH4. The product of the above reaction has the following spe

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The product is cyclohexanol

Explanation:

Firstly,

A ketone undergo a borohydride reduction reaction to form an alcohol as below,

R-CO-R' ⇒ R-CO(OH)-R'

IR Spectrum confirms that alcohol group is existed with the peak at 3400 cm⁻¹
From 1H-NMR, the product has 10 hydrogen atoms, the MS suggest that the formula is C₅H₁₀O (M = 86). With this formula, the alcohol is monosaturated. Since, the substance already underwent reduction reaction, the only way to suggest a monosaturated compound is a cyclic alcohol. So the compound is cyclopentanol.
Check with other spectroscopic properties,

3 signals of 13C NMR confirms the structure is symmetrical, δ 24.2, (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), δ 35.5 (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), δ 73.3 (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH).

1H NMR confirms,

1.56 δ (4H, triplet) - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH-OH) ; triplet as coupling with 2 H,

1.78 δ (4H, multiplet) - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH-OH); multiplet as coupling with 2H of CH₂, 1 H of CH

3.24 δ (1H, quintet); - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), coupling with4 H of 2 group of CH₂

3.58 δ (1H, singlet); - (-CH₂-CH₂-CH(CH₂-)-OH), hydrogen of alcohol group, not tend to coupling with other hydrogen

If 725 ml of N² gas is at 1 atm, what volume will it have at 1.4 atm?

alexdok [17]

Answer:

518 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this using Boyle's Law Formula

P1V1 = P2V2

where p1 = initial pressure, p2 = final pressure, v1 = initial volume and v2 = final volume

here , the initial pressure is 1 atm and the initial volume is 725mL

we are given the final pressure 1.4 and we need to find the final volume

so we have p1v1 = p2v2

==> plug in p1 = 1 , v1 = 725 mL and p2 = 1.4

(1)(725) = (1.4)v2

==> multiply 1 and 725

725 = (1.4)(v2)

==> divide both sides by 1.4

v2 = 518

N2 would have a volume of 518mL at 1.4atm

The alkali metals all react with water. which is the most reactive metal?

kifflom [539]

Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.

Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.
