Summarize the bonding properties of carbon

Biology

Well, Carbon has 4 Valence Electrons. I'm sure you know this, but valance electrons allow electrons to covalently bond with one another. The elements, when sharing the electrons, want to have 8 valance electrons. So carbon has 4 valance electrons so it can bond with itself, or another say 4 hydrogen [becuase hydrogen can live with 2 valance electrons]. Hope this helps. Remember: Electrons <3 8 valance electron bonds Carbon's 4 + Carbon's 4= 8 true love at first bond! OR Carbon's 4+ Hydrogen's 1 [x4] = 8 hope this help

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

This is an example of E. stereospecificity.

Explanation:

We talk about a stereospecific reaction when sterechemically different reagents react differently. Fumarase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transformation of fumarate into malate by hydration. Human enzymes are specific for L-amino acids and D-carbohydrates, the enzyme fumarase is an example of stereospecificity since it hydrates the fumaric acid (trans form) to maleic acid, but does not act on the corresponding cis form, the maleic acid, that is, fumarase introduces a molecule of water into fumaric acid, but the cis isomer, that is, maleic acid, is not attacked.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

C. frameshift mutation

Explanation:

Frameshift mutation is a type of gene mutation that occurs when one or more nucleotide bases are inserted(added) or deleted (lost) from a DNA strand. This results to a shift or alteration in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA, hence resulting to wrong placement of amino acids. This kind of mutation alters the amino acid sequence during protein translation.

Frameshift mutations result to deleterious changes amino acid sequence of a protein and can cause diseases like , Crohn's disease and some kinds of cancer.
