The right answer is vitamin C—citric acid.

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid protects against cellular aging, is essential for the immune defenses and increases the assimilation of iron of plant origin.

Citrate is a biological molecule found in all living organisms because it is involved in the Krebs cycle (or citrate cycle) to produce energy.

Answer:

There are a number of lipids that are found in foods and contribute to various functions in the body. Triglycerides are the most common lipid found in food and in the body; they consist of a Glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acids.

Fatty acids are classified based on the degree to which the carbon chain is saturated with Hydrogen

A fatty acid is saturated if it contains no carbon-carbon double bonds, polyunsaturated if it contains two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and monounsaturated if it has only one carbon-carbon double bond.

The unsaturated fatty acids can exist in one of two structural forms: the trans form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of that bond.

When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a cis formation exists.

Enter your answer in the provided box. what is the value of ni for an electron that emits a photon of wavelength 95.04 nm when i

Sloan [31]

Ni = 5 The Rydberg formula for hydrogen is 1/w = R(1/a^2 - 1/b^2) where w = wavelength in vacuum R = Rydberg constant 1.0973731568508x10^7 1/m a,b = integers greater than or equal to 1 and a < b Now we need to select the value for a. a = 1 will converge towards 91.13 nm a = 2 converges towards 364.51 nm a = 3 converges towards 820.14 nm ... Because of this, we will assume a = 1 for this problem since it converges closest to the wavelength given. Substitute known values 1/w = R(1/a^2 - 1/b^2) 1/9.504x10^-8 = 1.0973731568508x10^7(1/1^2 - 1/b^2) 10521885.52 = 1.0973731568508x10^7(1/1 - 1/b^2) 0.958824759 = 1 - 1/b^2 -0.041175241 = -1/b^2 0.041175241 = 1/b^2 24.28643927 = b^2 4.928127359 = b So Ni = 5.

Which type of macromolecule combines with proteins to make compounds such as peptidoglycan and other types of identifying compou

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Pepetidoglycans are the structural polymers which make up the cell walls of most bacteria.

It consists of the macromolecule, glycan chains, which are repeating N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues. These glycan chains combine or cross-link with peptide side chains (proteins) to form a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria.

Peptidoglycan is the major structural component and the basic unit of the bacterial cell wall and provides protection to the cytoplasmic membrane, mechanical rigidity and also regulates the passage of fluid, amino acids, sugar and ions, in and out of the cell.
