What do proteins act as?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tresset [83]3 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?

How is the number of electrons in an element determined?
elixir [45]

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

A rectangular fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 60ft. Find the dimensions of the fence
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will turn this question into an equation.

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w = perimeter.

In the question we were given the perimeter so we can go ahead and plug this in.

2l + 2w = 60

In the question we are also told that the fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. This means that 1l = 3w. We can now subsitute l for 3w so that we only have one variable.

2(3w) + 2w = 60

Now we can simply use algebra to solve for w.

6w + 2w = 60

8w = 60

w = 7.5

Now that we know the value of w we can find the value of l since we know 1l = 3w.

l = 3w

l = 3(7.5)

l = 22.5

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

An empty vial weighs 55.32 g. (a) If the vial weighs 185.56 g when filled with liquid mercury (d = 13.53 g/cm3). What i its volu
Tasya [4]

Answer:

a) Volume of vial= 9.626cm3

b) Mass of vial with water = 62.92 g

Explanation:

a) Mass of empty vial = 55.32 g

Mass of Vial + Hg = 185.56 g

Therefore,

mass\ of\ Hg = 185.56-55.32 = 130.24 g

Density of Hg = 13.53 g/cm3

Volume\ of\ vial = Volume\ of\ Hg = \frac{Mass}{Density} \\\\= \frac{130.24g}{13.53g/cm3} = 9.626 cm3

b) Volume of water = volume of vial = 9.626 cm3

Density of water = 0.997 g/cm3

Mass\ of\ water = Density*volume = 0.997g/cm3*9.626cm3=9.60 g\\\\Total\ Mass\ of\ vial = Empty\ vial + mass\ of\ water\\= 53.32+9.60= 62.92g
