Explanation:
Full question:
Glycogen ________
A) forms the regulatory molecules known as enzymes
B) serves as a structural component of human cells
C) helps to protect vital organs from damage
D) is an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues
E) contains the genetic information found in cells
Glycogen is a complex polysaccharide of glucose founded in humans, animals, fungi and even bacteria. In humans, the glycogen is made and stored in liver cells. In the center on glycogen molecule, there is a single protein called Glycogenin. It is a center of a big flower made of glucose molecules (please refer to the scheme attached - Glycogenin is red and the blue lines are glucose chains). Glycogen is also stored in skeletal muscle, red and white blood cells, in glial brain cells and kidneys but in a smaller amounts. It can be found in the placenta in pregnant women where it serves as a nutrient storage for embryo. In an adult, the liver weighs 1,5 kg and glycogen weighs about 120g in such a liver. After a meal, the level of sugar is rising and the insulin is being secreted. Insulin is a tool by which sugar is being delivered to the cells, like a food delivery. During this period, glycogen is being synthesized in the liver out of glucose residues. When the meal is digested, the sugar level is back to normal. When more energy is needed, glycogen from the liver is broken down by glycogen phosphorylase and the new sugar is released into the bloodstream.
Answer:
The vapor pressure of the solution is 23.636 torr
Explanation:
Where;
is the vapor pressure of the solution
is the mole fraction of the solvent
is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent
Thus,
15.27 g of NaCl = [(15.27)/(58.5)]moles = 0.261 moles of NaCl
0.67 kg of water = [(0.67*1000)/(18)]moles = 37.222 moles of H₂O
Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (number of moles of water)/(total number of moles present in solution)
Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (37.222)/(37.222+0.261)
Mole fraction of solvent (water) = 0.993
<u>Note:</u> the vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 0.0313 atm
Therefore, the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.993 * 0.0313 atm
the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.0311 atm = 23.636 torr
