Physiological pH is between 7.37 and 7.43
Lysine is a basic amino acid, which means
it has two NH2 groups and one COOH group.
Lysine pKas are: 2.16, 9.06 and 10.05
At low pH (lower than the first pKa, in
this case: lower than 2.16) the three groups are protoned. As you increase pH,
the first group to lose its proton is the acid group, then the alpha-amino
group and then the R-amino group. You will have everything non protoned at a
high pH (higher than the highest pKa, in this case: 10.05).
Physiological pH is higher than the lowest
pKa and lower than the middle pKa, so it’s the second case: the acid is
not protoned, the R-amino is protoned and the alpha amino is protoned.
Protoned aminos are cations: NH3+.
Answer:
3 factors that are required for biodegradation are
a) Appropriate moisture
b) Oxygen supply
c) Stable condition
Explanation:
For biodegradation in a landfill, following conditions are essential –
a) Appropriate moisture
b) Oxygen supply
c) Stable condition
Contrast to above three conditions, the waste in landfill is kept dry, devoid of oxygen supply, and stirred continuously due to which the organic matter mummify instead of decomposing.
Answer :
Formal charge on C: (-1)
Formal charge on N: (0)
Net charge: (-1)
Explanation :
First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of 
.
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 4 + 5 + 1= 10
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons.
Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.
Formula for formal charge :
Net charge = -1 + 0 = -1
