17. Overall the drop in reduction potential from NADH to water is equivalent to the energy needed to synthesize six or seven mol

ecules of ATP, yet only about 2.5 molecules of ATP are actually synthesized? How does this apparent thermodynamic inefficiency allow ATP synthesis to be achieved? What would happen if the system were 100% efficient?

Answer:

The ATP synthesis is achieved by the generation of proton motive force(PMF).

Explanation:

The proton motive force is generated by the transport of electrons from intermembrane space to matrix of mitocondria. The proton motive force is utilized by FO F1  ATPase to generate ATP from the phosphorylation of ADP and inorganic phosphate(Pi).

       If the system were 100% efficient then 64 molecules of of ATP can be generated from the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of glucose by aerobic respiration.

For the chemical reaction 2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq) write the net ionic equation, including the phases.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)  --> 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq)

We break the compounds into ions. Only compounds in the aqueous form can be turned into ions.

The ionic equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq)  +  2Br⁻(aq)  + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)   --> 2H2O(l)  +  Ba²⁺(aq)  + 2Br⁻(aq)

Upon eliminating the spectator ions; The net equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)  --> 2H2O(l)

32P can be used to make any nucleotide (A, C, G, or T) radioactive. Which of the following explains why this is true?
xxMikexx [17]
B. The answer is: All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P.

Nucleotides contain a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and, at least, one phosphate group. Exactly that phosphate group in the nucleotide has the phosphorus atom. Therefore, the phosphorus atom in the nucleotide can be replaced with radioactive phosphorus-32 (32P).

How many moles of AgCl2 are in 5.78x1024 molecules of AgCl2?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

9.6 mol AgCl2

Explanation:

You have to use Avogadro's number: 6.023 x 10^23

5.78 x 10^24 molecules (1 mol AgCl2/ 6.023 x 10^23 molecules) =9.6 mol AgCl2
