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

Answer:

C. CH₄ is less than NH₃ because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond

Explanation:

The intermolecular forces between ammonia is far stronger than for methane. Between the molecules of ammonia we have the presence of hydrogen bonds. This bond is absent in methane.

Hydrogen bonds are one of the strongest intermolecular forces. It is as a result of the electrostatic attraction between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom N, O and F of another molecule.

  • This strong interaction is absent in methane which has just dipole - dipole attraction.

The strength of the hydrogen bond depends on the electronegativity of the combining atoms.
