What is the function of a lyase enzyme?

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena55 [62]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

c. To facilitate a reaction of one substrate to form two products without the use of water

Explanation:

A lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes - accelerates the chemical reaction - in which a substrate is broken into two molecules. The reaction does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation, so the water molecule is not included in the chemical reaction. Thus, the enzyme facilitates the reaction in which a molecule (substrate) is decomposed into two molecules with the elimination of chemical bonds.

Rufina [12.5K]
Answer:
             <span>The mole concept is important in chemistry because, "</span>Atoms and molecules are very small and the mole concept allows us to count atoms and molecules by weighing macroscopic amounts of material".

Explanation:
                   To understand this question lets take an example of Hydrogen atom. Let suppose you need to react Hydrogen with Oxygen. You need exactly Two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom to form one water molecule.
                  The mass of 1 hydrogen atom is 1.76 × 10⁻²⁴ grams. How will you count the Hydrogen atoms??? How can you measure exactly for 1 Million Hydrogen Atoms???
                   Answer to these questions and Calculations lies in Mole. It is found that 1 Mole of Hydrogen weights exactly 1.008 gram and contains 6.022 × 10²³ atoms. Now, having this reference in hand you can calculate for any number of Hydrogen atoms.

Result:
           So the Mole helps us to zoom a microscopic level to a macroscopic level. :)

Answer: The molecular formula will be C_3H_9

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

The empirical formula is CH_3

The empirical weight of CH_3 = 1(12)+3(1)= 15g.

The molecular weight = 45.0 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{45}{15}=3

The molecular formula will be=3\times CH_3=C_3H_9

Thus molecular formula will be C_3H_9

Consider the following unbalanced particulate representation of a chemical equation:
nevsk [136]

Answer:

H2 + I2 --> 2HI

Explanation:

The two reactants are diatomic molecules because they contain two atoms of the same element. Therefore, they would need to have a subscript of "2" next to their symbols.

When balancing an equation, you want the same amount and type of atoms on both sides. By adding a coefficient of "2" in front of the product, two H's and two I's are now on both sides.

A student has to create a model of a convex lens. Which property of a convex lens should the student include in the model?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

A.  The lens spreads light.

Explanation:

The convex lens will converge the light that passes through it. The direction of light will be bend to be closer to the middle point. This is the lens used for the eyeglass that treat people with hypermetropia. That is why the convex lens also called a converging lens or a plus lens. The strength of the convex lens depends on its focal length, index of the material used, and the radius of curvature.
