What do proteins act as?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tresset [83]4 years ago
8 0

Proteins are made from long chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. These long chains are folded into particular shapes. This is important in relation to how antibodies and enzymes work.

Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are optimum temperatures and pH values at which their activity is greatest. Enzymes are also proteins. If the shape of an enzyme changes, it may no longer work (it is said to have been 'denatured'). maybe right?

If the dehydration reaction of an alcohol is successful. What changes would be seen in the ir spectrum for the product compared
Bess [88]

If the dehydration reaction of an alcohol is successful. The changes would be seen in the IR spectrum for the product compared to the starting material are as,

  • The O-H and  C-O  band is disappear from stating material
  • The addition of a C-C double bond band in the product.

In dehydration reaction of alcohol (  O-H and  C-O bond ) contain , the water molecule ( H_{2}O ) is release from the reactant and C-C double bond is form which is known as alkene in the product .

The reactant and product have different structure. To determine the structure of the compound IR spectroscopy is used. In IR spectrum the peak corresponds to 3400-3600 cm is missing in the product of  dehydration reaction of an alcohol. It means  O-H band is disappear from stating material.

Answer:

B. Carry oxygen, nutrients, waste, & to fight pathogens

Explanation:

The circulatory system refers to all organs and tissues involved in carrying blood and lymph around the body.

The circulatory system carries oxygenated blood from the heart to cells and  deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Nutrients are carried in the blood to cells in different parts of the body and waste products are also carried from cells in the blood.

White blood cells is a component of blood in the circulatory system that fights off diseases.

How does the crystalline structure of a metal differ from the structure of an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride or cesium
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The metal cube lattice is made of only one kind of atom.

Explanation:

As we know that metallic crystals are made up of only one kind of element.  A metal crystal is actually a huge sea of positive charges embedded in the layers of negative charges (electrons). The whole crystal is made up of same kind of atoms, e.g crystals of gold, crystals of iron.

If we talk about structure of metallic crystal, it can be body centered cubic, simple cubic, hexagonal or close cubic packing.

Now, coming towards the ionic crystals, we know that they are basically the crystals of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or cesium chloride. These crystals are formed due to ionic bonding between two or more than two kinds of elements/atoms. It is not possible for an ionic crystal to be composed of only one kind of atom. As far as structure is concerned, they can have different structure based on bonding between atoms in an ionic compound, e.g NaCl has octahedral geometry.

Therefore, it is very evident that best option is A.
