Ou tof the following given choices;

<span>a.       </span>elimination

<span>b.      </span>SN2 substitution

<span>c.       </span>Dissociation

<span>d.      </span>None of the above

The answer is B. In SN2 substitution, the leaving group is attached to a primary carbon. This is one of the SN reaction of nucleophilic substitution on dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The other SN1 reaction, which is the more probable reaction because it's more stable.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

In the biosynthesis process of compounds of great importance, the first step for dimethylalkyl pyrophosphate is the nucleophilic substitution.

In the nucleophilic substitution, it happens that a nucleophilic group, which has electrons, replaces another group called electrophilic which lacks electrons.

Consequently, the nucleophilic group replaces the electrophilic group.

V125BC [204]

Answer;

-High specific heat

Explanation;

Water's high heat capacity is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among water molecules. Water has a large heat capacity which helps limit changes in body temperature in a warm or a cold environment.

Water enables the body to release heat when ambient temperature is higher than body temperature An individual begins to sweat, and the evaporation of water from the skin surface cools the body very efficiently. As a result, water plays a very important role in temperature regulation.

Sometimes the microvilli on the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule are destroyed. What effect would this have?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Reduced reabsorption of salts and nutrients from the proximal tubule.

Explanation:

The proximal convoluted tubules are the site for reabsorption of the largest amount of solute and water from the filtered fluid. It reabsorbs 65% of water, electrolytes such as Na+ and K+, almost 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids and other electrolytes such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.

The simple cuboidal epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have a prominent brush border of microvilli on their apical surface. These microvilli serve to increase the surface area for reabsorption and secretion. Destruction of these microvilli would reduce the reabsorption of the above-mentioned salts and nutrients from proximal convoluted tubules.
