A) forms the regulatory molecules known as enzymes
B) serves as a structural component of human cells
C) helps to protect vital organs from damage
D) is an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues
E) contains the genetic information found in cells
Glycogen is a complex polysaccharide of glucose founded in humans, animals, fungi and even bacteria. In humans, the glycogen is made and stored in liver cells. In the center on glycogen molecule, there is a single protein called Glycogenin. It is a center of a big flower made of glucose molecules (please refer to the scheme attached - Glycogenin is red and the blue lines are glucose chains). Glycogen is also stored in skeletal muscle, red and white blood cells, in glial brain cells and kidneys but in a smaller amounts. It can be found in the placenta in pregnant women where it serves as a nutrient storage for embryo. In an adult, the liver weighs 1,5 kg and glycogen weighs about 120g in such a liver. After a meal, the level of sugar is rising and the insulin is being secreted. Insulin is a tool by which sugar is being delivered to the cells, like a food delivery. During this period, glycogen is being synthesized in the liver out of glucose residues. When the meal is digested, the sugar level is back to normal. When more energy is needed, glycogen from the liver is broken down by glycogen phosphorylase and the new sugar is released into the bloodstream.
Answer:
The predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:
ammonia (NH3)
methane (CH4)
and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)
Explanation:
The types of intermolecular forces:
1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.
2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.
3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.
NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.
Methane has London dispersion forces.
Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.
NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.
Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.
Explanation:
<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).
Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).
<em />
<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.
<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.
Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.
Answer:
<h3>1)</h3>
Structure One:
Structure Two:
Structure Three:
Structure Number Two would likely be the most stable structure.
<h3>2)</h3>
- All five C atoms: 0
- All six H atoms to C: 0
- N atom: +1.
The N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion. See explanation.
Explanation:
When calculating the formal charge for an atom, the assumption is that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between the two bonding atoms. The formula for the formal charge of an atom can be written as:
.
For example, for the N atom in structure one of the first question,
- N is in IUPAC group 15. There are 15 - 10 = 5 valence electrons on N.
- This N atom is connected to only 1 chemical bond.
- There are three pairs, or 6 electrons that aren't in a chemical bond.
The formal charge of this N atom will be 
.
Apply this rule to the other atoms. Note that a double bond counts as two bonds while a triple bond counts as three.
<h3>1)</h3>
Structure One:
Structure Two:
Structure Three:
In general, the formal charge on all atoms in a molecule or an ion shall be as close to zero as possible. That rules out Structure number one.
Additionally, if there is a negative charge on one of the atoms, that atom shall preferably be the most electronegative one in the entire molecule. O is more electronegative than N. Structure two will likely be favored over structure three.
<h3>2)</h3>
Similarly,
- All five C atoms: 0
- All six H atoms to C: 0
- N atom: +1.
Assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally (which is likely not the case,) the nitrogen atom in this molecule will carry a positive charge. By that assumption, it would attract an anion.
Note that in reality this assumption seldom holds. In this ion, the N-H bond is highly polarized such that the partial positive charge is mostly located on the H atom bonded to the N atom. This example shows how the formal charge assumption might give misleading information. However, for the sake of this particular problem, the N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion.
Answer:
V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters
Explanation:
Initial Volume, V1 = 2.16 x 105 liters
Initial Temperature, T1 = 295 K
Final Temperature, T2 = 425 K
Final Volume, V2 = ?
These quantities are related by charle's law and the equation of the law is given as;
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
V2 = T2 * V1 / T1
V2 = 425 * 2.16 x 105 / 295
V2 = 3.11 x 105 liters
