Albert Einstein showed in one of his papers in 1905 that Brownian motion could be explained by assuming that matter is made up of tiny particles. His paper predicted how the motion should look like and also allowed for the calculation of the mass of a single molecule. Current evidence includes: 1. Individual ions (atoms with an electric charge) can be manipulated using electric and magnetic fields. 2. Elevation maps can now be made that show bumps caused by individual atoms.

Identify all statements that accurately describe the structure of the pyruvate dehydrogenase ( PDH ) complex.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The statements that correctly describes pyruvate dehydrogenase includes:

- Several copies each of E 1 and E 3 surround E 2.

-A regulatory kinase and phosphatase are part of the mammalian PDH complex.

-E 2 contains three domains.

Explanation:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a hydrolase key enzyme in glucose metabolism which converts pyruvate to acetyl- ChoA. It also forms a complex that catalyzes an irreversible reaction that is the entry point of pyruvate into the TCA cycle. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex contains E1, E2 and E3 enzymes that transform pyruvate, NAD+, coenzyme A into acetyl-CoA, CO2, and NADH. Also, A regulatory kinase and phosphatase are part of the mammalian PDH complex and E 2 contains three domains.

Some fats are called "saturated" fats because __________. Select one: a. their carbon skeleton is bent to form four fused rings
marin [14]

Answer:

All carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Saturated fats are class of compounds having all the fatty acids containing only single bonds. In other words, carbon skeleton has only single bonds.

Unsaturated compounds undergoes hydrogenation to form saturated fats.

In hydrogenation, hydrogen atoms are added to the carbon attached to double bond. After become saturated, no more hydrogen atoms can be added.

Therefore, it can be said that in saturated fats all carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

Which element will only gain one electron during a chemical reaction?
Gelneren [198K]

Halogens

Explanation:

Halogens are a group of non-metals located in the seventh group on the periodic table. The will only gain one electron during a chemical reaction.

  • Halogens have a seven electrons in their outermost shell.
  • To complete the number of electrons in this shell, they need to gain an additional electron.
  • One more electron makes the halogen similar to the corresponding noble gas which is very stable.
  • Halogens are very reactive groups of elements and are highly electronegative.
  • They have a high affinity for electrons.
  • These elements are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and Astatine.

Mg(s) + ½O2(g) → MgO(s) + 146 kcal/mole H2(g) + ½O2(g) → H2O(g), ΔH = -57.82 kcal/mole What type of reaction is represented by t
professor190 [17]
Answer is: both reactions are exothermic.
<span>
In exothermic reactions, heat is released and enthalpy of reaction is less than zero (as it show second chemical reaction).
According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is exothermic heat is included as a product (as it show first chemical reaction).</span>
