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.

A compound contains 25.93% N and the rest is oxygen. What is the empirical formula for the compound?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: NO2

Explanation:

                                  N                                O

Divide each by its    25.93                       74.07

mass number              14                             16

                                     2                              4

Divide both by the       2                               2

smaller (i.e. 2)               1                                2

Therefore, the empirical formula = NO2

What is AgNO3 + KCI-KNO3+AgCI. What type of reaction does this represent
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>C4H10 + 6.5 O2 ----> 4CO2 + 5H2O 

2C4H10 + 13 O2 ----> 8CO2 + 10H2O 

1. Count the C on the left (4), put a 4 where the C on the right. 

2. Count the H on the left (1), you have two on the right, so you multimply this two by 5. Put the 5 in front of the H2O 

3. Count the O on the right. You have 4*2 + 5 = 13. You have two on the left, so you need 6.5 on the left. 

4. Now multiply everything on the equation by two so you have nice integer numbers. 

5. check you have the same amount of everything on each side. 
Example C: left 8, right 8, etc.
I hope this helps. :)</span><span>

An atom is made of 16 protons, 17 neutrons, and 18 electrons. What is the mass number of
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The answer is 33 .

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is the atomic mass which consists of proton and neutron. This atom has 16 protons and 17 neutrons so it has a mass of 33 :

proton number + neutron number = nucleon number / atomic mass

16 + 17 = 33
