Which of the following statements describes a common characteristic of catabolic pathways?

Chemistry

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.

The empirical formula : C₁₂H₄F₇

The molecular formula : C₂₄H₈F₁₄

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

mol C (MW=12 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{18.24}{12}=1.52

mol H(MW=1 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{0.51}{1}=0.51

mol F(MW=19 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{16.91}{19}=0.89

mol ratio of C : H : O =1.52 : 0.51 : 0.89=3 : 1 : 1.75=12 : 4 : 7

Empirical formula : C₁₂H₄F₇

(Empirical formula)n=molecular formula

( C₁₂H₄F₇)n=562 g/mol

(12.12+4.1+7.19)n=562

(281)n=562⇒ n =2

Determine the volume of water to be added to the nitric acid solution at a concentration of 8.61 mol / L to prepare 500 mL of th
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

398 mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for molarity,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ where C₁ = concentration before adding water = 8.61 mol/L and V₁ = volume before adding water, C₂ = concentration after adding water = 1.75 mol/L and V₂ = volume after adding water = 500 mL = 0.5 L

V₂ = V₁ + V' where V' = volume of water added.

So, From C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

V₁ =  C₂V₂/C₁

= 1.75 mol/L × 0.5 L ÷ 8.61 mol/L

= 0.875 mol/8.61 mol/L

= 0.102 L

So, V₂ = V₁ + V'

0.5 L = 0.102 L + V'

V' = 0.5 L - 0.102 L

= 0.398 L

= 398 mL

So, we need to add 398 mL of water to the nitric solution.

4. Cuál es la aplicación de las reacciones de óxido-reducción en la vida diaria y en la industria?
12345 [234]

Answer:

<em>Dentro de las aplicaciones de la óxido-reducción se pueden encontrar:</em>

  1. <u><em>La obtención del aluminio a partir de la alúmina y la electrolisis.</em></u>
  2. <u><em>La obtención de cloro, hidrógeno e hidróxido de sodio a partir del cloruro de sodio y la electrolisis.</em></u>
  3. <u><em>La combustión interna de un motor a gasolina u otro combustible fósil.</em></u>
  4. <u><em>Las termoeléctricas, las cuales para generar energía realizan combustión de carbón.</em></u>
  5. <u><em>La galvanoplastia, donde para evitar la corrosión de un metal se recubre con otro metal más resistente, por ejemplo: el recubrimiento del acero con zinc.</em></u>
  6. <u><em>La pilas o baterías de las cuales se obtiene energía química</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Como puedes ver en la respuesta, la óxido-reducción tiene diversas aplicaciones en la vida moderna, desde todos los tipos de combustión los cuales sirven para brindar energía o movilizarte, hasta todas las funciones que se le ha dado a la electrolisis y a la obtención de la energía por medios químicos, incluso se puede considerar una aplicación de la óxido-reducción la incorporación de antioxidantes en los alimentos, los cuales disminuyen la velocidad de descomposición de los mismos. </em>
