Which of the following would be least likely to be part of an ionic bond?

Biology
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Carbon is least likely to be part of an ionic bond.

Explanation:

  • Ionic bond is formed by the process of transformation of electron between two atoms.
  • In ionic bonds the charges of cations and anions are balanced.
  • For the atom of carbon to form an ionic bond it must transfer 4 electron or gain 4 electron from another atom, this is not likely to occur in the chemical reaction.
  • Hence carbon atom shares 4 electron so that it can have the configuration of noble gas.

Vesicles that come from the trans-golgi can fuse with which organelles?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Transport vesicles, containing partially processed proteins, fuse with the folds of the <u>Golgi apparatus (cisternae)</u> on the cis face and bud from the cisternae on the more distal side (trans face).

Explanation:

Some of the matrix proteins form long, filamentous tethers that are thought to help retain Golgi transport vesicles close to the organelle. When the cell prepares to divide, mitotic protein kinases phosphorylate the Golgi matrix proteins, causing the Golgi apparatus to fragment and disperse throughout the cytosol.

What type of glial cell acts locally to maintain normal electrolyte composition of the cerebrospinal fluid?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are specialized glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord, they are responsible for maintaining the electrolytic composition of the cerebrospinal fluid, induce the formation of the blood-brain barrier and act as a support and guide for neurons during migration. They keep the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system through the water channels, Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and K channels, located in the pedicle processes of the astrocytes in the perivascular space, these cells exchange K and water in said perivascular medium away from the neurons. Astrocytes selectively edematize during hypotonic stress, while neurons do not.

The pKa of an acid depends partly on its environment. Predict the effect of each of the following environmental changes on the p
Galina-37 [17]
The pKa represents the pH of the medium at which the zwitterionic amino acid assumes most stable ionic form due to structural stabilization. As the pKa is dependent upon the environmental factors of the solution around the amino acids, a change in their structure and localization can cause change in the pKa of the protein. Thus, the answers can be found as below:

Part A: Decrease (As the lysine is basic in nature, it will tend to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and weak interactions between the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bonds in the viscinity, thus lowering the pH and hence pKa of the protein)

Part B: Increase (As the carboxyl group is acidic in nature, removal of it will tend to increase the pKa since the basic amino acids will tend to accumulate more negative charge in their viscinity)

Part C: Increase (As glutamic acid is an acidic amino acid, its shift from outside to a non-polar site will prevents its ionization and hence the pKa will tend to shift from slightly acidic to slightly basic, hence increase)
