Answer:
c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.
Explanation:
Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.
Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.
It means to change, and form means shape. So to transform is to change shape.
Answer:
17.5 g
Explanation:
Given data
- Mass of solution to be prepared: 50.0 grams
- Concentration of the salt solution: 35.0%
The concentration by mass of NaCl in the solution is 35.0%, that is, there are 35.0 grams of sodium chloride per 100 grams of solution. We will use this ratio to find the mass of sodium chloride required to prepare 50.0 grams of a 35.0% salt solution.
Answer:
c. F1-
Explanation:
In this chemical reaction the expression is:
HF + NaF → NaHF2
The ion that always keep the negative charge is the fluorine with a -1, if in this mixture there is more positive ions (H1+) the negative ion (F1-) will join with them.
Remember that also the Cl1- will be free, but the fluorine is more reactive than the fluorine.
