Answer:
a. See figure 1
b. See figure 2
c. Three cycles
d. Four Acetyl-CoAs
Explanation:
<u>a. Draw the condensed structural formula for the activated form of caprylic acid</u>
<u />
For the activation of the fatty acid, an ATP molecule is needed to bind AMP in the acid group and then an Acetyl-CoA molecule to generate the <u>activated fatty acid</u>. (See figure 1)
<u>b. Indicate the α- & β-carbon atoms in caprylic acid</u>
<u />
By definition, the alpha and beta carbons are the carbons that are in positions 2 and 3 respectively to the main carbon. In this case, the main carbon is the carbon from the acid group, therefore the <u>alpha carbon</u> will be carbon 2 (red arrow) and the <u>beta carbon</u> will be carbon 3 (blue arrow). (See figure 2).
<u>c. State the number of β-oxidation cycles for the complete oxidation of caprylic acid.</u>
<u />
To calculate the cycles we have to use the equation:
<u />
, where n is the amount of carbons, in this case, we have 8 carbons, so:
<u>
</u>
<u>We will have 3 cycles</u>. (See figure 3)
<u>d. State the number of acetyl-CoAs from the complete oxidation of caprylic acid</u>
In the β-oxidation metabolic cycle, we have a relationship between Acetyl-CoA produced and the number of carbons:
if n=8 we will have:
<u>We will have 4 Acetyl-CoAs</u>.
I hope it helps!
One reason may be that iron is a much heavier metal, and a much better conductor of heat and electricity. Iron would lead to some issues after a while, and repairs may end up costing more than it would have cost to just buy aluminum in the first place.
So, basically just because of each one's different ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Answer:
55.4g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of atoms in the bottle = 8.34 x 10²²atoms
Unknown:
Mass of air in the bottle = ?
Solution:
The given specie is argon.
Molecular mass of Argon = 40g/mol
To find the mass of this Argon ;
Mass = number of moles x molecular mass;
Let us find the number of moles of the Argon;
6.02 x 10²³ atoms can be found in 1 mole of any substance
8.34 x 10²² atoms will give mole of Argon
= 0.139mole of Argon
So;
Mass of argon = 40g/mol x 0.139mole = 55.4g
Potential energy is restored energy so it would be when you are on a swing because when you swing forward and get high ground you stop for a moment and that is potential energy until you swing backward which is kinetic energy
