Answer :

Total carbons are in the structure = 13

Primary carbons are in the structure = 5

Secondary carbons are in the structure = 6

Tertiary carbons are in the structure = 1

Quaternary carbons are in the structure = 1

Explanation :

Primary carbon : It is a carbon atom that is bound to only 1 carbon atom.

Secondary carbon : It is a carbon atom that is bound to 2 carbon atom.

Tertiary carbon : It is a carbon atom that is bound to 3 carbon atom.

Quaternary carbon : It is a carbon atom that is bound to 4 carbon atom.

As we are given the name of compound is, 2,2-dimethyl-4-propyloctane.

In this compound, eight carbon are align in a straight line, two methyl group are attached at 2nd position of the carbon in main chain and a propyl group that is three membered carbon chain is attached at 4th position of the carbon in main chain.

The given compound skeletal structure is shown below.

The Sun heats land and water, how is this related to wind and ocean currents?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

"The sun warms up parts of the oceans. Warm waters rise just like warm air rises. So, as the warmer ocean waters begin to rise in a particular area, the cooler ocean waters from a different area will move in to replace the warmer ocean waters, and this creates our ocean currents."

Explanation:

Hope this is helpful :)

What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular model?

snow_tiger [21]

<span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals.

More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>

Transamination of an amino acid transfers an amine group to form an α‑keto acid and is catalyzed by transaminases. Some amino ac

iragen [17]

Answer:

Amino acids that fall under the first category are alanine, aspartate and glutamate. While amino acids that fall under the second category are glycine, valine, proline, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, serine, threonine, cysteine, asparagine, glutamine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, lysine, arginine and histidine

Explanation:

Alanine, a 3-carbon amino acid reacts with α-ketoglutarate, a 5-carbon ketoacid, to produce pyruvate, a 3-carbon compound which is one of the glycolytic products in aerobic respiration, and glutamate, a 5-carbon amino acid, with the aid of alanine transaminase (ALT). The amino group from alanine is transfered from the α-carbon of alanine to the α-carbon of the α-ketoglutarate.

Aspartate, a 4-carbon amino acid also reacts with α-ketoglutarate to form oxaloacetate, a 4-carbon ketoacid which is present as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and glutamate. The amino group transfer occurs between the α-carbon of aspartate and the α-carbon of α-ketoglutarate.

Unlike the presence of a ketoacid in the conversion of alanine and aspartate to their corresponding amino acids, glutamate conversion to α-ketoglutarate, an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, involves no ketoacids as an amino group acceptor from glutamate. The amino group is freely released as an ammonium ion. The reaction involves the presence of a cofactor, NAD+ or NADP+, water (H2O) and glutamate dehygrogenase (GDH).

Other amino acids involve several metabolic steps to be converted into glycolytic or citric acid intermediates.
