Answer:

C. Gene

Explanation:

   The gene is a segment of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule responsible for genetically inherited traits. Each gene consists of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code (instructions) to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body.

    Most genes are contained in chromosomes. The chromosome consists of a long strand of DNA wrapped around a special protein called histone. Most chromosomes contain several different genes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes - one pair of sexual chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men) plus 22 pairs of nonsexual chromosomes called autosomes. Chromosomes are transmitted from parents to children through sperm and eggs. One chromosome from each pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.

Give the name for the strongest intermolecular interaction between the substrate and the following amino acids on the star prote
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The answer is IONIC BOND

Explanation:

Steroidogenic acute regulatory, (StAR) protein is a type of globular protein, which allows it act as an active catalyst on substrates. Because the substrates on which enzymes act usually have higher molecular weights of several hundred as compared to the enzymes, only a fraction of the enzyme's surface is in contact with the substrate. This region of contact called the <em>active site</em>, is as a result of the protein folding itself into a tertiary structure.

Once the correct substrate has bound at the active site of the enzyme, an enzyme-substrate complex is created. The substrate is usually held in the complex by combinations of electrical attraction, hydrophobic repulsion, or hydrogen bonding between and from the amino acid; the strongest of which is the ionic/electrostatic bonding due to larger amount of ionic "R" groups in the protein structure.

So whilst all these inter-molecular interactions are possible, the strongest would be <u>ionic bond.</u>

Answer:

Explanation:

Discussion

When Pressure increases  equilibrium shifts to the side with the smallest number of moles. But which side is that?

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

The left side has 1 mol of nitrogen (N2) and 3 moles of Hydrogen = 4 mols

on the left side.

The right side has 2 mols of NH3 = 2 mols on the right.

Conclusion: You tell the number of mols by the Balance numbers to the left of each chemical in an equation.

Since the left side N2 + 3H2 = 4 mols, the equilibrium does NOT shift left.

2NH3 is only two mols.

The equilibrium shifts Right

D

Balance this chemical equation.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reaction Given

    NaHCO₃ (s) + HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) -------> CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + NaC₂H₃O₂ (aq)

Balance Equation = ?

Solution:

Balance Chemical Equation:

A balanced chemical equation is that in which the number of the reactant atoms equal to the number of the product atom.

For example if the carbon at the reactant side is 3, the number of carbon must be 3 on the product side.

Check the chemical equation and count the number of atoms at the reactant side and product side.

If the number of atoms of the reactants equal to the number of atoms of products then the reaction is balanced but if not equal then reaction is not balanced

Balancing is an trial and error process to get a balance reaction.

First we count the number of atoms of reactant and product

Number of atoms of Reactant:

Na = 1

O = 5

H = 5

C = 3

Number of atoms of Product:

Na = 1

O = 5

H = 5

C = 3

So this a balance equation as the atoms of the reactant atom equal to the number of the product atoms.

Na atom is 1 on both reactant and product side

Oxygen atoms are 5 on reactant and 5 on product side

hydrogen atoms are 5 on reactant and 5 on product side

Carbon atoms are 3 on reactant and 3 on product side

So all the compounds in the reaction have 1 as its coefficient in the blanks

<u />

<u>1   </u>NaHCO₃ (s) +  <u>1  </u>HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) -----> <u>1  </u>CO₂ (g) + <u>1  </u>H₂O (l) + <u>1  Na</u>C₂H₃O₂ (aq)

Select the three most acidic hydrogen atoms in lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)CO2H, and rank them in order of decreasing acidity. Explain
Olin [163]
It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.
