Answer:

KClO is an ionic compound

Explanation:

Compounds can be broadly classified as ionic and molecular (covalent).

Ionic compounds are compounds in which the atoms are linked by ionic bonds formed by the transfer of electrons between them. These are formed between a metal and non-metal.

Molecular compounds are compounds in which the atoms are linked by covalent bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between them. These are formed between two non-metals.

In the given compound, $KClO$ (potassium hyperchlorite), the potassium (K) atom is an alkali metal whereas the ClO moiety is composed of non-metals chlorine (Cl) and oxygen (O). Hence KClO is an ionic compound which exists as: K⁺ and ClO⁻

Calculate the number of ATPs generated by the complete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol). Hydrolysis of

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

412 ATP's will be generated from the complete metabolic oxidation of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol)

130 ATP from the oxidation of palmitate

22 ATP from the oxidation of glycerol

Altogether 130 + 22 = 412 ATP will be produced.

Here in case of tripalmitin (tripalmitoylglycerol), we have 51 carbons.

When 51 carbons can produce 412 ATPs

Then 1 carbon will produce how many ATPs = 412 ATPs/ 51 carbon= 8.1 ATPs.

This shows that ATP yield per carbon often oxidized will be 8.1 ATPs

Now we will see the ATP yield in the case of glucose.

Glucose is made up of 6 carbon and complete oxidation of glucose will produce 38 ATPs

When 6 carbons can yield 38 ATPs

Then 1 carbon can yield how many ATPs= 38 ATPs/ 6 carbons= 6.33 ATPs.

So, ATP yield per carbon in case of glucose will be 6.33 ATPs
