Metabolism is all chemical reactions that occur in organisms, including those that occur at the cellular level.

<h2> Further Explanation </h2>

The three main goals of metabolism are:

  • Converting food into energy to run cellular processes.
  • Conversion of food / fuel into a constituent of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and some carbohydrates.
  • Nitrogen waste disposal. The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme allows the organism to grow and multiply, maintain its structure, and respond to its environment.

In general, metabolism has two directional trajectories for organic chemical reactions:

catabolism, which is a reaction that breaks down molecules of organic compounds, such as the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate by cellular respiration;

anabolism, which is a reaction that assembles (synthesis) organic compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids from certain molecules.

Catabolism is a series of metabolic processes that break down large molecules, including breaking down and oxidizing food molecules. The purpose of catabolic reactions is to provide the energy and components needed by anabolic reactions in order to build molecules.

Anabolism is a metabolic pathway that arranges several simple organic compounds into chemical compounds or complex molecules. This process requires outside energy. The energy used in this reaction can be either light energy or chemical energy. The energy, then used to bind these simple compounds into more complex compounds. So, in this process the required energy is not lost, but stored in the form of chemical bonds in the complex compounds formed.

How much time would it take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A ? Express your answer using two significant
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1.8 × 10² s

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction that occurs upon the electroplating of copper.

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Cu(s)

We will establish the following relationships:

  • 1 g = 1,000 mg
  • The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol
  • When 1 mole of Cu is deposited, 2 moles of electrons circulate.
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,486 C (Faraday's constant).
  • 1 A = 1 C/s

The time  that it would take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A is:

336mgCu \times \frac{1gCu}{1,000mgCu} \times \frac{1molCu}{63.55gCu} \times \frac{2mole^{-} }{1molCu} \times \frac{94,486C}{1mole^{-}} \times \frac{1s}{5.6C} = 1.8 \times 10^{2} s
