Which of the following reactions does the coenzyme biotin catalyze?

Chemistry

Papessa [141]3 years ago

Answer:

c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.

Explanation:

Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.

Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.

• Explain why each of the following pairs is not likely to form an ionic bond.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

A)Chlorine and Bromine:

They are both non metal hence they form a covalent bond due to covalent bonding.

B)Potassium and Helium:

Helium ion has a small cationic radius and distorted by the potassium ion due to polarization.

C)Sodium and Lithium:

Both are metals hence they form a metallic bond since they share electrons to the electron cloud.

glucose 6‑phosphate+H2O⟶glucose+Pi glucose 6‑phosphate+H2O⟶glucose+Pi K′eq1=270 K′eq1=270 ATP+glucose⟶ADP+glucose 6‑phosphate AT
ddd [48]

Answer:

-30.7 kj/mol

Explanation:

The standard free energy for the given reaction that is the hydrolysis of ATP is calculated using the formula:  ∆Go ’= -RTln K’eq

where,  

R = -8.315 J / mo

T = 298 K

For reaction,

1. K′eq1=270,

∆Go ’= -RTln K’eq

= - 8.315 x 298 x ln 270

=  - 8.315 x 298 x 5.59

= - 13,851.293 J / mo

= - 13.85 kj/mol

2. K′eq2=890

∆Go ’= -RTln K’eq

= - 8.315 x 298 x ln 890

=  - 8.315 x 298 x 6.79

=  - 16.82 kj/mol

therefore, total standard free energy

= - 13.85 + (-16.82)

=  -30.7 kj/mol

Thus, -30.7 kj/mol is the correct answer.

netineya [11]
Yes it is available. It will continue catalyzing the reactions until it becomes completely consumed. That's how enzymes work. They work and are eventually consumed in the process completely without altering the reaction in any way other than speeding it up.

Atomic size of inert gases do not affect you inertness why​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Because your body has built-in resistance to certain gases, no matter the size of the gas cloud.

That is why we are able to stay non-inert to these types of gases, like Carbon dioxide.
