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?

Two methanol-water mixtures are contained in separate tanks. The first mixture contains 40.0 wt% methanol and the second contain
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

M_{per}= 52.86

W_{per}=47.14

Explanation:

<u>First mixture</u>:

40 wt% methanol - 60 wt% water 200 kg

m_{met1}=200 kg * 0.4= 80 kg

m_{wat1}=200 kg * 0.6= 120 kg

<u>Second mixture</u>:

70 wt% methanol - 30 wt% water 150 kg

m_{met2}=150 kg * 0.7= 105 kg

m_{wat2}=150 kg * 0.3= 45 kg

Final mixture:

m_{metF=80 kg + 105 kg= 185 kg

m_{watF}=120 kg + 45 = 165 kg

M_{per}=\frac{185 kg}{185 kg + 165 kg}*100= 52.86

W_{per}=\frac{165 kg}{185 kg + 165 kg}*100=47.14

If, the compositions are constant, the only variables are the mass of each mixture used in the final one, so there can be only one independent balance.

Identify the brønsted-lowry acid, the brønsted-lowry base, the conjugate acid, and the conjugate base in each reaction: (a) c5h5
Pie

acids give away protons (H+), bases accept protons, conjugate bases are what u get when when you take the protons from the acid, and conjugate acids are what u get when you add the protons to the base.

so for (a) the C5H5N is the base, water is the acid, C5H5NH+ is the conj acid, OH- is the conj base

(b) HNO3 is the acid, H2O is the base, hydronium ion is the conj. acid, NO3- is the conj base.
