Which five statements about hemoglobin and myoglobin structure are true? Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of

these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom. Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to Fe2+ in heme. Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom. Hemoglobin and myoglobin are heterotetramers. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule.

TRUE

By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom.  

TRUE

Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to Fe²⁺ in heme.  

False. It binds reversibly with heme.

Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom.  

TRUE

Hemoglobin and myoglobin are heterotetramers.

False. Hemoglobin is a tetramer. Myoglobin a monomeric protein.

Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom.

TRUE

Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule.

Answer:

1.  Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen

2.By itself heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom.

3.Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule.

4. Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom.

5.  Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom.

Explanation:

Myoglobin is a protein that is muscle tissues, it functions as an oxygen storage unit. Hemoglobin is found in the fed blood dells, it functions as an oxygen transporter. It transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

A hydrocarbon contains 85.7% carbon and the remainder
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

CH₂ ;  67.1 %

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation

Assume 100 grams of the compound.

# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol

# mol H = 14.3 g /  1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol

The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C

So the empirical formula is CH₂

For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄  reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.

We need to calculate the moles of  NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )

1.203 g  NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol =  0.0318 mol

Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:

0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆

Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol =  0.440 g

% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %

nevsk [136]

On oxidation of aldehydes produces carboxylic acid functional group.

The product of oxidation of aldehydes depends upon whether the reaction occur in acidic medium or alkaline condition.

If oxidation of aldehydes occurs under acidic condition the product is carboxylic acid but if oxidation of aldehydes occurs under alkaline condition then reduce as well as oxidized product obtained which is known as disproportional product.

The  oxidation of aldehydes occur through potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate or many more. The oxidation of aldehydes in the presence of base is known as cannizzaro's reaction.
