An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of which of the following enzymes (+ indicates activi

ty is increased; - indicates activity is not increased by insulin)?
Chemistry
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of --

- Acetyl-CoA carboxylase(+)

-Phosphofructokinase PFK2(+)

-Glycogen synthase(+)

- Hormone sensitive lipase (-). The hormone sensitive lipase activity is not increased with increased insulin activity.

Explanation: increased insulin - glucagon ratio is usually high in fed state.Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.

Linolenic acid (C18H30O2 - M.W. = 278.42 g/mol) reacts with hydrogen gas according to the equation: C18H30O2 + 3H2 (g) → C18H36O
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂

By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.

By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3

Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:

10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g  = 0.0377 moles

We apply a rule of three:

1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react

Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen

We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P

V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L

How can chemical weathering contribute to physical weathering?
lora16 [44]

A-leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals

A-dense vegetation cover

True

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Agent of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

Chemical weathering contributes to physical weathering in that it leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals.

During chemical weathering, a rock chemically combines with materials in the environment and weakens it.

When physical weathering processes are induced, grains produced independently weakening of bonds in rocks grind against one another and wears each other off.

An area with a dense vegetation cover undergoes rapid chemical weathering:

  • Plant roots penetrates deep into the rock and increases the surface area of chemical action.
  • Plants produce chemicals that combines with rocks and causes them to decay.
  • Since the area is always moist, chemical action becomes more severe.

Buildings and statues made of stone are subjected to the same degree of weathering as rocks exposed naturally.

This is true.

Statues and buildings weather just like rocks we find in nature.

It is the same sunshine and rain that impacts rocks that also impacts buildings and statues.

So they degrade at the same rate except they are protected.

CalcuLate the velocity of an electron ejected if 300.0 mm of light is applied to the surface. A wavelength of 795 nm has suffici
worty [1.4K]
The equation relating velocity and wavelength is written below:

v = λf
where λ is the wavelength in m while f is frequency in 1/s.

Let's determine first the frequency from the speed of light:
c = distance/time, where c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
3×10⁸ m/s = (300 mm)(1 m/1000 mm)/ time
time = 1×10⁻⁹ seconds
Since f = 1/t,
f = 1/1×10⁻⁹ seconds = 10⁹ s⁻¹

Thus,
v = (795×10⁻⁹ m)(10⁹ s⁻¹)
v = 795 m/s

A mixture of three gases has a pressure at 298 K of 1380 mm Hg. The mixture is analysed and is found to contain 1.27 mol CO2, 3.
enot [183]

Answer:

The partial pressure of Ar is 356.04 mm Hg (= 0.4685 atm)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

A mixture of three gases has a total pressure of 1380 mm Hg (=1.81579 atm) at 298 K

Moles of CO2 = 1.27 moles

Moles of CO = 3.04 moles

Moles of Ar = 1.50 moles

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate total number of moles

Total number of moles = n(CO2)+ n(CO)+ n(Ar) = 1.27 mol+ 3.04 mol+ 1.50 mol = 5.81 moles

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate mol fraction Ar

Mol fraction Ar = 1.50 mol/5.81 mol = 0.258

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate partial pressure

1380 mm Hg * 0.258 moles Ar = 356.04 mm Hg = 0.4685 atm

The partial pressure of Ar is 356.04 mm Hg (= 0.4685 atm)

What is the pH of 2.5×10 to the power of negative2IM solution of HCL?
Archy [21]

Answer:

pH=1.6

Explanation:

Recall that pH= -log [H+]

Plug the 2.5 x 10^-2 into [H+].

-log (2.5 x 10^2)

=1.6
