Which of the following statements about the formation of polypeptides from amino acids is true?

Chemistry

Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A.

Explanation:

a. A bond forms between the carboxyl functional group of one amino acid and the amino functional group of the other amino acid.  This is the correct answer because peptide bonding is very specific, only happens between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another.

b. A bond can form between any carbon and nitrogen atom in the two amino acids being joined.  The answer is incorrect because peptide bonding is very specific it can not happen between any carbon or any nitrogen.

c. Polypeptides form by condensation or hydrolysis reactions.  This answer is wrong because hydrolysis does not occur instead of that water is form as a product of this reaction.

d. The reaction occurs through the addition of a water molecule to the am , this answer is wrong, water is formed in this reaction, water is a product of the reaction not a reactant.

What is the wavelength of gamma ray electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.73x10^20 Hz?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

1.10 × 10⁻¹² m

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

Speed of Light = Wavelength times Frequency

  • c = λν
  • c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

ν  = 2.73 × 10²⁰ Hz

<u>Step 2: Find wavelength</u>

3.0 × 10⁸ m/s = λ(2.73 × 10²⁰ Hz)

λ = 1.0989 × 10⁻¹² m

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules.</em>

1.0989 × 10⁻¹² m ≈ 1.10 × 10⁻¹² m

A high pH value indicates _____.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

A high pH value indicates a high concentration of OH- ion

Explanation:

The higher the OH- ion concentration high will be the pH.In simple words if the concentration of OH- ions are increased then the pH of the solution will also increase which means the solution will turns towards basic with increasing its OH- ion concentration.

  Let us assume that the OH- concentration of a solution is  10-9  so the pOH of that solution will be 9 and the pH will be 5.

  Now the concentration of OH-ion of that solution is increased from 10-9 to 10-8 now the pOH of that solution is 8 and the pH is 6.

Verizon [17]
The answer is iii) decreasing the pressure of the system. When the pressure is decreased, the equilibrium will shift to the right because it has 12 moles of gas which is greater than the number of moles of gas on the left side, which is 6 moles. Equilibrium shifting to the side that exerts greater pressure is favored to offset the decrease in pressure.
