Answer:

C. They are exergonic and provide energy that can be used to produce ATP form ADP and Pi.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of metabolic reactions.

  1. Anabolic reactions (Anabolism)
  2. Catabolic reactions (Catabolism)

CATABOLIC REACTIONS:

They consist of reactions in which larger molecules are broken down into simpler ones. They are exergonic i.e. energy producing reactions. The released energy can be stored in the form of ATP (energy currency of cell).

ANABOLIC REACTIONS:

They consist of reactions in which larger molecules are synthesized from simpler ones. They are endergonic reactions i.e. energy is absorbed.

MEMORY AID:

An easy way to remember catabolic reactions is to think of them as "catastrophic reactions" i.e. larger molecules are destructed to produce simpler ones.

Coming back to the question,

<u>a. They require energy from ATP hydrolysis to break down polymers into monomers. </u>

Energy requiring reactions are anabolic and so this is the incorrect answer.

<u>b. They are endergonic and release energy that can be used for cellular work.</u>

Endergonic reactions are anabolic and hence this is the incorrect answer.

<u>c. They are exergonic and provide energy that can be used to produce ATP from ADP and Pi</u>

This statement correctly fits the definition of Catabolic reactions and is therefore the correct answer.

<u>d. They combine small molecules into larger, more energy-rich molecules.</u>

This statement describes anabolic reactions and hence the incorrect choice.

What makes physical change a physical change and a chemical change a chemical change
Snowcat [4.5K]
A physical change is any change in a substances form that does not change its chemical makeup. Examples of physical changes are breaking a stick or melting ice. A chemical change occurs when atoms of a substance are rearranged, and the bonds between the atoms are broken or formed. HOPE THIS HELPS!!

a student prepares a dilute solution of sodium hydroxidem, NaOH (aq), starting with 6 M sodium hydroxide. She then titrates a 1.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

M = 0.3077 M

Explanation:

As I said in the comments, you are missing the required volume of the base to react with the KHP. I found this on another site, and the volume it used was 21.84 mL.

Now, KHP is a compound often used to standarize NaOH or KOH solutions. This is because it contains a mole ratio of 1:1 with the base, so it's pretty easy to use and standarize any base.

Now, as we are using an acid base titration, the general expression to use when a acid base titration reach the equivalence point would be:

n₁ = n₂   (1)

This, of course, if the mole ratio is 1:1. In the case of KHP and NaOH it is.

Now, we also know that moles can be expressed like this:

n = M * V   (2)

And according to this, we are given the volume of base and the required mass of KHP. So, if we want to know the concentration of the base, we need to get the moles of the KHP, because in the equivalence point, these moles are the same moles of base.

The reported molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol, so the moles are:

n = 1.372 / 204.22 = 6.72x10⁻³ moles

Now, we will use expression (2) to get the concentration of the diluted base:

n = M * V

M = n / V

M = 6.72x10⁻³ / 0.02184

M NaOH = 0.3077 M

This is the concentration of the dilute solution of NaOH

Which of the following frequencies corresponds to light with the longest wavelength? A) 3.00 times 10^13 s^-1 B) 4.12 times 10^5
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

1) B. 4.12 times 10^5 s^-1

2) B. frequency-v

3) C. 1.18 times 10^15 s^-1

4) B. 4.39 times 10^-19 J

5) B. Energy is absorbed

6) C. 3

7) 1s^2  2s^2  2p^6  3s^2  3p^6  4s^2  3d^10  4p^6  5s^2  4d^10  5p^6     6s^2  

Explanation:

1)

The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Thus, the smallest frequency shall correspond to the longest wavelength. Thus, the correct answer is <u>B. 4.12 times 10^5 s^-1</u>

2)

<u>B. frequency-v</u> are wrongly paired because frequency is represented by f. Thus, correct pair will be frequency-f.

3)

The relationship between wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) is:

c = fλ

f = c/λ

where, c = speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

f = (3x10^8 m/s) / (254 x 10^-9 m)

f = 1.18 x 10^15 s^-1

Thus, the correct option is <u>C. 1.18 times 10^15 s^-1.</u>

4)

The energy of photon is given as:

E = hc/λ

where, c = speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

            h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10^-34 J.s

E = (6.625 x 10^-34 J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s) / (453 x 10^-9 m)

E = 4.39 x 10^-19 J

Thus, the correct option is <u>B. 4.39 times 10^-19 J</u>.

5)

Since, the higher energy levels away from nucleus have higher energies. So, in order to move an electron from lower to higher or distant energy level, it must absorb energy from external source. So, the correct option is <u>B. Energy is absorbed</u>.

6)

The P-Sub-level has three orbitals, each having two electrons. Thus, P-Sub-Level accommodates total of 6 electrons. The correct option is <u>C. 3</u>

7)

The electronic configuration of barium atom is:

<u>1s^2  2s^2  2p^6  3s^2  3p^6  4s^2  3d^10  4p^6  5s^2  4d^10  5p^6  6s^2  </u>
