Answer:

B) A series of chemical reactions where enzymes work one at a time to convert a reactant into intermediates and the intermediates into a final product.

Explanation:

In our cells there are multiple chemical reactions happening all the time to convert the elements we ingest (food, water, air) into the products the organism needs.

This processes can be very complex and offen involves various reactions (steps). Also, many of this reactions need to by catalized by enzymes in order to happen.

Answer: B

Explanation:

A metabolic pathway is series of chemical reactions that are well organized, well co-ordinated, and purposeful manner; all these reactions are collectively called as metabolism.

Metabolic Pathways this is a series of biochemical reaction where enzymes work one at a time to convert a reactant into intermediates and the intermediates into a final product. The product of reactions serve as an a reactants for the next enzymatic reaction.

The reactants, intermediates, products of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites.

Types of Metabolic pathway

1. Catabolic

2. Anabolic

3. Amphibolic

Draw structures from the following names, and determine which compounds are optically active:(b) 3-chloro-2,2,5-trimethylhexane

inn [45]

The given compound 3-chloro-2,2,5-trimethylhexane is an optically active compound .

Because this compound does not have plane of symmetry (POS) and center of symmetry (COS) i.e. does not have di-symmetry . And also forms non superimposable mirror image . the compound is optically active .

It has chiral center.

Here the chiral carbon has 4 distinct groups such as : chlorine , hydrogen , 2-methylpropyl , tertbutyl .

<h3>What is di-symmetry?</h3>

Di-symmetry is that which have no center of symmetry and plane of symmetry and alternate axis of symmetry .

<h3>Chiral center :</h3>

Have Sp3 hybridized center (4sigma bond ) .

4 distinct group is attached to the chiral atom. form non -superimposable mirror image .

<h3>What is optical isomerism ?</h3>

Same molecular formula and same structural formula . also have same physical and chemical properties .

They differ in their behavior towards plane polarized light (ppl) .
