Rubisco is an important enzyme that helps in making lifeless carbon of carbon dioxide into organic molecules. Rubisco takes carbon dioxide and attaches it to ribulose bisphosphate, a
short sugar chain with five carbon atoms that has rubp as its shortcut. Rubisco then clips the
lengthened chain into to polyglycerate pices, which are pretty flexible molecules and are also used in the feeding of the plant. Most of it is used in the photosynthesis pathway, but some of it is used to make sucrose
(table sugar) to feed the rest of the plant, or stored away in the form
of starch for later use. Hence, rubisco is crucial in the storing of the energy that is created from photosynthesis.
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction between methane and oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide is expressed CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 +2H2O. Hence for 2 moles of methane used, 4 moles of oxygen are needed to react completely.
The answer is B Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell. Another example of a nonpolar covalent bond is found in the methane (CH4) molecule.
Answer:
-12.5 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The free-energy predicts if a reaction is spontaneous or not. If it is, ΔG < 0. When a reaction happens by steps, the free-energy of the global reaction can be calculated by the sum of the free-energy of the steps (Hess law). If it's needed to operations at the reaction the same operation must be done in the value of ΔG (if the reaction is inverted, the signal of ΔG must be inverted).
Phosphocreatine → creatine + Pi ∆G'° = –43.0 kJ/mol
ATP → ADP + Pi ∆G'° = –30.5 kJ/mol (x-1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phosphocreatine → creatine + Pi ∆G'° = –43.0 kJ/mol
Pi + ADP → ATP ∆G'° = 30.5 kJ/mol
The bold compounds are in opposite sides, so they'll be canceled in the sum of the reactions:
Phosphocreatine + ADP → creatine + ATP
∆G'° = -43.0 + 30.5
∆G'° = -12.5 kJ/mol
