Chemistry
1 answer:
olga55 [171]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways

Explanation:

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate abbreviated as G3P occurs as intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.

In photosynthesis, it is produced by the light independent reaction and acts as carrier for returning ADP, phosphate ions Pi, and NADP+  to the light independent pathway. Photosynthesis is a anbolic pathway.

In glycolysis, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is produced by breakdown of fructose-1,6 -bisphosphate. Further Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate converted to pyruvate and pyruvate is further used in citric acid cycle for energy production. Therefore, it is used in catabolic pathway too.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because it is  present in both catabolic and anabolic pathways.

The energies of the bonds broken in a certain reaction are greater than the energies of the bonds formed. Which one of the follo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a. The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):

ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed

If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction

Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).

Answer: Fire requires oxygen to burn. Water "smothers" fire and prevents it from acquiring more oxygen. Fire also requires heat, which cool water may prevent/remove.

A hydrocarbon of pentane has two isomeric forms—n-pentane and iso-pentane. The molecular formula of the n-pentane is C5H12. Pred
Monica [59]
An iso pentane is an isomeric form of n-pentane. Isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the atomic arragement projected in 3D and the arrangement of atoms primarily resulting to a different set of properties. In this case, isopentane also has a molecular formula of an alkane <span>C5H12</span>

A balloon contains 2.0 L of air at 101.5 kPa . You squeeze the balloon to a volume of 0.25 L.
8_murik_8 [283]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

812 kPa

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • According to Boyle's law pressure and volume of a fixed mass are inversely proportional at constant absolute temperature.
  • Mathematically, P\alpha \frac{1}{V}

At varying pressure and volume;

P1V1=P2V2

In this case;

Initial volume, V1 = 2.0 L

Initial pressure, P1 = 101.5 kPa

Final volume, V1 = 0.25 L

We are required to determine the new pressure;

P2=\frac{P1V1}{V2}

Replacing the known variables with the values;

P2=\frac{(101.5)(2.0L)}{0.25L}

           = 812 kPa

Thus, the pressure of air inside the balloon after squeezing is 812 kPa

A certain reaction with an activation energy of 205 kj/mol was run at 485 k and again at 505 k . what is the ratio of f at the h
lapo4ka [179]
Arrhenius' Law relates activation energy, Ea, rate constant, K, and temperature, T as per this equation:

K (T) = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT), where R is the universal constant of gases and A is a constant which accounts for collision frequency..

Then you can find the ration between K's at two different temperatures as:

K1 = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT1)

K2 = A* e ^(-Ea / RT2)

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ { (-Ea / RT1) - Ea / RT2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ {(-Ea/ R ) *( 1 / T1 - 1 T2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e^ { (-205,000 j/mol / 8.314 j/mol*k )* ( 1 / 505K - 1/ 485K) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ (2.0134494) ≈ 7.5

Answer: 7.5
