The incredible catalytic power of enzymes can perhaps best be appreciated by imagining how challenging life would be without jus

t one of the thousands of enzymes in the human body. For example, consider life without fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, an enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway in liver and kidneys, which helps produce new glucose from the food we eat:
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + H2O → Fructose-6-phosphate + Pi
The human brain requires glucose as its only energy source, and the typical brain consumes about 120. g (or 480. calories) of glucose daily. Ordinarily, two pieces of sausage pizza could provide more than enough potential glucose to feed the brain for a day. According to a national fast-food chain, two pieces of sausage pizza provide 1260 calories, 49.0 % of which is from fat. Fats cannot be converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis, so that leaves 615 calories potentially available for glucose synthesis. The first-order rate constant for the hydrolysis of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in the absence of enzyme is 2.00×10-20 sec-1.Calculate how long it would take to provide enough glucose for one day of brain activity from two pleces of sausage pizza without the enzyme.

Answer:

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Explanation:

First order rate constant is given as,

k =  (2.303 /t) log  [A₀] /[Aₙ]

where  [A₀]  is the initial concentraion of the reactant; [Aₙ] is the concentration of the reactant at time, <em>t</em>

[A₀]  = 615 calories;

[Aₙ] = 615 - 480 = 135 calories

k = 2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹

substituting the values in the equation of the rate constant;

2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹ = (2.303/t) log (615/135)

(2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹) / log (615/135) = (2.303/t)

t = 2.303 / 3.037 * 10⁻²⁰

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Need help ASAP!! Full paragraph! Will give Brainliest!!
Amanda [17]

Answer:

All elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. This made it possible to compare the valence of the alien elements to the valence of elements from our periodic table, and match the alien elements to the correct group. For example, our group 14 elements all have 4 valence electrons, so the alien element with 4 valence electrons had to be part of group 14 also.

his is the chemical formula for epinephrine (the main ingredient in adrenaline): C9H13O3N A biochemist has determined by measure
Len [333]

Answer:

3.67 moles of N

Explanation:

The epinephrine's chemical formula is: C₉H₁₃O₃N

We were told that a chemist found that in a mesaure of epinephrine, he found 33 moles of C

We must know that 9 moles of C are in 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N so, let's make a rule of three:

If 9 moles of C are found in 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N

Therefore 33 moles of C must be found in (33 .1) / 9 = 3.67 moles of C₉H₁₃O₃N

There is a second rule of three, then.

In 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N we have 1 mol of N

Then, 3.67 moles C₉H₁₃O₃N must have (3.67 . 1) / 1 = 3.67 moles of N

Remember 1 mol of C₉H₁₃O₃N has 9 moles of C, 13 moles of H, 3 moles of O and 1 mol of N
