Answer:
There are three significant figures
Explanation:
When counting sig figs you don't count the zeros unless it is between a number greater than zero. The two zeros aren't between the greater numbers so there are only 3.
The correct equation
for the overall reaction can simply be obtained by adding the two separate
equations together. Now when you add the two equations together, the overall K can
be calculated by multiplying the individual K values. Therefore:<span>
K(overall) = K1 * K2 </span>
K(overall) = (1.6 x
10^-10) * (1.5 x 10^7)
<span>K(overall) = 2.4 x
10^-3</span>
Answer:
c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.
Explanation:
Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.
Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.
60 elements! I don't exactly know every element known, so if you are asking that, please tell us, but what I do know is that there were 60 elements in the periodic table by 1860.
