Chemistry

Answer:

c) FAD is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

The β-oxidation is a catabolic process where fatty acids are degraded into a final product: Acetil-CoA. In order this process occurres, the fatty acid chain is being removed from a pair of carbon atoms on each cycle

Before the β-oxidation takes place, the fatty acid molecule should be activated, so it can go through the mitochondrial membrane into (via a carnitine translocator)

Once the activated molecule is inside the mitochondrial matrix, it can go through the β-oxidation: the first step is the oxidation of the fatty acid, with the enzyme Acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (this enzyme catalyzes the creation of a double bond between carbon-2 and carbon-3.

This enzyme has attached a coenzyme: FAD, which takes the electrons (from the fatty acid oxidation) and becomes a reduced component: FADH2:

Acyl-CoA + FAD ↔ trans-Δ2-enoyl-CoA + FADH2

What are the measurements for standard temperature and pressure (stp)? kp?
Alex787 [66]
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) are 273.15 K (Kelvin) and 101.3 KPa (kilopascals).

You can substitute 1 ATM (atmosphere) for the kilopascal measurement. It is discouraged to use 0°C for the temp equivalent since negative temperature numbers can't be used in gas equations..

Consider the hydrocarbon below.
Ket [755]
It is an Alkene because it has a double bond, so it’ll have “ene” at the end. The simplest Alkene has 2 carbons.

2 carbons = “eth”

Look at that! Two carbons! It must be “ethene”

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Step 3

Explanation:

I am back sorry it took me so long, I believe its Step 3 because that's were you chose your strategy, you use it in Step 4, but if its not Step 3 its Step 4

1. identifying

problem solving step: 1)__ the problem is most difficult: not in habit of asking what the problem really is; in the habit of reacting or giving up

2. representing

problem solving step: 2) __ the problem: abstract or external representation

3. strategy

problem solving step: 3) selecting an appropriate __; trial and error vs means-ends analysis

4. implementing

problem solving step: 4) __ the strategy; dependent on previous steps
