Answer:
Explanation:
For the growth and flourishing of animals Aromatic amino acids are very important, but because of lack of shikimate these amino acids are not synthesized in animals pathway.But this pathway is found in both plants and micro organisms and they have the ability to produce these amino acids as well as some secondary metabolites required in animals.
There are different role played by this pathway in organisms such as;
1) It serve as a source of Tryptophan and phenylalanie which are important aromatic amino acid.
2)Neuroactive substances such as serotonin,epinephrine are biosynthesized as result of the product from the pathway.
3)Alkaloids that's found in plants as well as antibiotics possessed by microbes, which are essential therapeutical in animals are secondary metabolites that is biosynthesized as a result of the activities of this product of this pathway.
4)Shikimate is useful in the synthesizing of 6-Fluoroshikimic acid.
5) The shikimate pathway is important for the synthesis of a plethora of aromatic compounds in both plants and bacteria as well as fungi.
Polar Covalent.
This is because both Calcium (Ca) and Carbon (C) are non metals, thus eliminating the ionic option.
It is polar covalent rather than nonpolar covalent due to the fact that the electrons in a polar covalent bond are shared unequally while those in a nonpolar bond are shared equally.
This can be determined by looking at the amount of valence electrons; if the electrons cancel each other out, it is shared equally. If not, it is shared unequally.
Hope this helps!
Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.
First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.
7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077
5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04
3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021
6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994
Add all of those pieces together.
84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.
Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %
Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %
Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %
Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %
You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.
