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.

What is the charge associated with each side of the HCl molecule?
Alexandra [31]

HCl is a polar molecule with the hydrogen part being partial positive while the chlorine end being partial negative. This is because hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. This means that chlorine attracted most of the electron cloud of molecule hence is the negative dipole, The dipole moment of HCl is 1.08 D (debyes). A Debye is equal to 3.34 x 10-30 coulomb-meters (C-m). The charge of each molecule is o.176+ for H and 0.176- for the Cl
