Answer:

Carnitine Synthesis

Explanation:

Ascorbic acid acts as a cofactor in various hydroxylation and amidation reactions by electron transfer to enzymes that provide reducing equivalents. Accordingly, ascorbic acid is required or facilitates the conversion of certain proline and lysine residues of the procollagen, the oxidation of lysine side chains to proteins, providing hydroxytrimethylsiline for carnitine synthesis. This means that ascorbic acid is essential for the carnitine synthesis.

Carnitine is derived from amino acids and acts as a cofactor for the enzyme acetyltransferase responsible for the transport of fatty acids to mitochondria. Your presence in the body is very important for feeling energetic and strong. The lack of canitine, influenced by the lack of ascorbic acid in individuals suffering from scurvy, causes a lack of energy.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

warm, dry downslope wind affecting Southern California - Santa Ana wind

a seasonally changing wind- monsoon

wind blowing from a valley up a mountain slope - valley breeze

generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts - haboob

Explanation:

The Santa Ana wind occurs in early autumn. They bring hot and dry weather to areas around the South-West coast. They move at high speeds, affecting most parts of Southern California.

Monsoon is a seasonal wind that blows across Southern Asia. It usually blows in summer. It is a a seasonally changing wind.

Valley breeze is an example of convection current in nature. It is produced by rapid warming of the valley floor leading to the expansion of air making it to flow up the slopes. At night, radiation from the surface cools the slopes. This leads to the rise of cooler and denser air which drains into the valley.

Haboob is generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts. It is associated with large sandstorms and dust storms.

Explain how sodium and calcium react with water. explain with equations
34kurt

Reaction of sodium with water

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).

2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
