Why does onions burn your eyes?

Chemistry

eimsori [14]3 years ago

All onions contain chemicals called amino acids. One of the chemicals in the onion's amino acids is sulfur. When the onion's skin is cut it brings this sulfur into contact with special proteins, called enzymes (EN-zimes). A gas then forms, which can make your eyes burn if it comes in contact with them

Onions produce the chemical irritant known as syn-propanethial-S-oxide. It stimulates the eyes' lachrymal glands so they release tears. Scientists used to blame the enzyme allinase for the instability of substances in a cut onion.

Therefore saying that it produces tears from tear ducts!! HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! :)

How is phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate in the payment phase of glycolysis different from phosphorylation of glucos
svet-max [94.6K]

In the preparatory phase of glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are invested and the hexose chain is cleaved into two triose phosphates. During this, the phosphorylation of glucose and its conversion to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate take place.  During this phase, the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to pyruvate and the coupled formation of ATP take place. Because Glucose is split to yield two molecules of D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, each step in the payoff phase occurs twice per molecule of glucose.

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase Simultaneous oxidation and phosphorylation of G3P produce 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) and nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NADH).

The divalent cation also affected the response of the enzyme from the endosperm and shoots to adenine nucleotides and inorganic pyrophosphate.

This phase is also called the glucose activation phase. In the preparatory phase of glycolysis, two molecules of ATP are invested and the hexose chain is cleaved into two triose phosphates. During this, the phosphorylation of glucose and its conversion to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate take place. Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 together are called the preparatory phase.

A balloon starts out with a volume of 1.3 l at 115.3 kpa. if the temperature is held constant, what would the new volume be if t
Anna35 [415]

The new volume be if the pressure inside the balloon was reduced to 58kpa is 2.58 L.

<h3>What is ideal gas equation?</h3>

Ideal gas equation PV=nRT gives idea about the behavior of gases at different conditions and for this question the equation becomes:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ = initial pressure = 115.3 kpa

V₁ = initial volume = 1.3 L

P₂ = final pressure = 58 kpa

V₂ = final volume = ?

On putting all these values in the above equation, we get

V₂ = (115.3)(1.3) / (58) = 2.58 L

Hence resultant volume of gas is 2.58 L.
