Why is denaturation dangerous for the body?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Denaturation causes loss of enzyme activity which is necessary for biochemical reaction.

Hence many biological process(respiration,digestion,excretion) won't work properly.

Explanation:

Enzymes : These are biological catalyst made of proteins.E.g Pepsin, tyrosine (human digestion)

Denaturation: loss of Quaternary ,tertiary and secondary structure of proteins and nucleic acid because of extreme conditions of temperature , pressure ,pH etc.

When denaturation occur enzymes loss their specific structure, so they can't carry out various life process (e.g respiration, digestion ,excretion).

Enzymes are involved in all biological reaction and work only at optimum temperature ,pH and pressure(human body condition ).

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the net force is 200 N and the direction of motion is left

Explanation:

500 - 300 = 200 and more force is coming from and pulling toward the left.

Trimethylamine, (CH3)3N is a weak base (Kb = 6.3 × 10–5). What volume of this gas, measured at STP, must be dissolved in 2.5 Lof
9966 [12]

Answer:

8.9L is the volume of the gas that must be dissolved.

Explanation:

For a weak base, we can find [(CH₃)₃N] using the equation:

Kb = [OH⁻] [[(CH₃)₃NH⁺] / [(CH₃)₃N]

As [OH⁻] = [[(CH₃)₃NH⁺] and [OH⁻] = 10^-pOH = 3.16x10⁻³M:

6.3x10⁻⁵ = [3.16x10⁻³M][3.16x10⁻³M] / [(CH₃)₃N]

[(CH₃)₃N] = 0.1587M

As the volume is 2.5L, moles are:

2.5L * (0.1587mol / L) = 0.3968moles

Using:

PV = nRT

We can solve for volume of the gas as follows:

P = 1atm at STP; n = 0.3968moles; R = 0.082atmL/molK; T = 273.15K at STP

V = 0.3968mol*0.082atmL/molK*273.15K/1atm

V = 8.9L is the volume of the gas that must be dissolved.

Calculate the masses.
malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) Mass = 3.9 g

b) Mass = 0.395 g

Explanation:

Density is related to the mass and volume of a substance by the relation:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}----(1)

a) Given:

Volume  = 4.00cm3

Density = 0.97 g/cm3

Based on equation (1)

Mass = density*volume = 0.97 g/cm3*4.00 cm3 =3.9 g

b) Given:

Volume  = 125 ml

Density = 3.16 g/L

1 ml = 0.001 L

Therefore, 125 ml = 0.125 L

Based on equation (1)

Mass = density*volume = 3.16 g/L*0.125L =0.395 g
