Which of the following reactions does the coenzyme biotin catalyze?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
5 0

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.

149.3 g of H2O at 95 ◦C is poured over 412 g Fe at 5 ◦C in an insulated vessel. What is the final temperature? The specific heat
abruzzese [7]
You are correct, but you needn't worry about the signs so much. Just remember that the negative sign is used to denote a loss of energy; since the water is hotter, it will be losing energy (-Q) and the iron will gain energy (Q). Now, we substitute the values:
-149.3 * 4.184 * (T - 95) = 412 * 0.44 * (T - 5)
Solving this equation for T,
T = 74.8 °C

How many moles of methane (CH4) could be made from 4.6 moles of hydrogen?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of moles of methane form = 2.3 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Hydrogen = 4.6 mol

Number of moles of methane form = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + 2H₂     →   CH₄

Now we will compare the moles of methane with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                     H₂              :           CH₄

                       2              :             1

                     4.6             :            1/2×4.6 = 2.3 mol  

Form 3.6 moles of hydrogen 2.3 moles of methane can be formed.
