In the citric acid cycle, after the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C

), subsequent reactions eventually result in 4C intermediates that are rearranged to regenerate oxaloacetate. What happens to the other two carbons?

Answer:

The carbons of the acetyl group oxidize which generate CO2, and in turn H2O.

Explanation:

The pyruvic acid that is generated during glycolysis enters the mitochondria. Inside this organelle, the acid molecules undergo a process called oxidative decaborxylation in which an enzyme of several cofactors is involved, one of which is coenzyme A. Pyruvic acid is transformed into an acetyl molecule and these are been introduced to the begining of the Krebs Cycle where the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C). As the molecule cycles the two carbons of the acetyl oxidize and are released in the form of CO2. Then the energy of the Krebs cycle becomes sufficient to reduce three NAD +, which means that three NADH molecules are formed. Although a small portion of energy is used to generate ATP, most of it is used to reduce not only the NAD + but also the FAD which, if oxidized, passes to its reduced state, FADH2

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The answer is: D

Explanation:

A. They have the same number of electron energy shells.  Is false, all the elements are in different periods so, they have different number of lectron energy shells.

B. They are all Halogens.  No, is wrong, halogens are F, Cl ,Br

C. They have the same number of electrons.  is wrong, if they had the same number of electrons they must be they same element and they aren't the same.

D. They are all Noble gases. Yes, it's true they are noble gases, they are the first group in the periodic table from the right.

1. Unas de las formas de producir nitrógeno gaseoso (N2) es mediante la oxidación de metilamina (CH3NH2), tal como se muestra en
Maslowich

Answer:

a) 4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄  4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂    

b) m = 5,043 g

c) % = 69,4 %

Explanation:

a) La ecuación balanceada es la siguiente:

4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄  4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂              

En el balanceo, se tiene en la relación estequiométrica que 4 moles de metilamina reacciona con 9 moles de oxígeno para producir 4 moles de dióxido de carbono, 10 moles de agua y 2 moles de nitrógeno.  

b) Para determinar la masa de nitrógeno se debe calcular primero el reactivo limitante:

n_{O_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{25,6 g}{31,99 g/mol} = 0,800 moles      

n_{CH_{3}NH_{2}} = \frac{4}{9}*0,800 moles = 0,356 moles

De la ecuación anterior se tiene que la cantidad de moles de metilamina necesaria para reaccionar con 0,800 moles de oxígeno es 0,356 moles, y la cantidad de moles iniciales de metilamina es 0,5 moles, por lo tanto el reactivo limitante es el oxígeno.

Ahora, podemos calcular la masa de nitrógeno producida:

n_{N_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*n_{O_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*0,8 moles = 0,18 moles

m_{N_{2}} = n_{N_{2}}*M = 0,18 moles*28,014 g/mol = 5,043 g

Por lo tanto, se pueden producir 5,043 g de nitrógeno.

c) El redimiento de la reacción se puede calcular usando la siguiente fórmula:

\% = \frac{R_{r}}{R_{T}}*100

<u>Donde</u>:

R_{r}: es el rendimiento real

R_{T}: es el rendimiento teórico

\% = \frac{3,5}{5,043}*100 = 69,4

Entonces, el procentaje de rendimiento de la reacción es 69,4%.

Codons.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

1. C- Three.

2. A- Methionine

3. D- Translocation.

4. C- OH.

5. A - 5'

6. A - 3' carbon

7. A. adenine and guanine

Explanation:

1. A codon is a group of three nucleotide sequence that encodes or specifies an amino acid. This means that, during translation (second stage of gene expression), when a CODON is read, an amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain.

2. The codon that initiates the translation process is called a start codon. It has a sequence: AUG and it specifies Methionine amino acid. Hence, during translation where a tRNA binds to the mRNA codon to read it and add its corresponding amino acid, a tRNA with a complementary sequence of AUG (start codon) binds to it and carries Methionine amino acid.

3. Translocation is a process during translation whereby the mRNA-tRNA moeity moves forward in the ribosome to allow another codon to move into the vacant site for translation process to continue.

4. The sugar component of a nucelotide that makes up the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) i.e. ribose or deoxyribose, contains an hydroxyll functional group (-OH).

5. A nucleotide consists of a pentose (five carbon) sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group (PO43-) is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule.

6. The free hydroxyll group (-OH) of the five carbon sugar molecule in DNA is attached to its 3' carbon.

7. Nitrogenous bases are the third component of a nucleotide, the other two being pentose sugar and phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are four viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These bases are classified into Purines and Pyrimidines based on the similarity in their structure. Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) are Purines because they possess have two carbon-nitrogen rings, as opposed to one possessed by Pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine).
