Answer:
Fatty acids have an even number of carbons because they are synthesized from a starting material (acetyl-CoACoA) that has an even number of carbons.
Explanation:
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids and are known to have even number of carbon atoms because they are synthesized from a 2 carbon atom acetyl Co-A molecules which are assembled together. It contains a carboxylate group covalently joined with an hydrophobic head of CH3-(CH2)n and may have an unsatireated CH=CH group within its CH2 chain. The synthesis of fatty acids from acetyly Co-A involves the activation reaction of an enzyme acetyl Co-A synthetase with an acid. It involves dehydrogebation, hydration, oxidation and thiolysis. Fatty acids vary in length of its chain, the number of carbon-carbon double bonds attached to its CH2 chain nd also the location of those double bonds in the carbon chain. Saturated fatty acids are those without carbon-carbon double bond in its chain while unsaturated have carbon- carbon double bonds. Monounsaturated fatty acids have one carbon-carbon double bonds and polyunsaturated fatty acids have two or more carbon-carbon double bonds.
Answer:
This is a substance that has definite composition
Explanation:
chemicals are substances that can not be broken down any further by physical process.it is a form of matter having a constant chemical characteristics and properties
Answer: The amino acid sequence is Leu-Ser-Val
Explanation: To produce amino acids, the DNA has to "transform" itself into a RNA by a process called Transcription. In this process, part of the DNA is transcribed into a similar RNA. The RNA produced undergoes another process, called Translation. From it, the sequence is decoded to a specific polypetide, as shown in this case. In the Translation, each 3 bases corresnpond to 1 amino acid. Because of it, the sequence above has 3 amino acids.
The N-terminal and C-terminal relates to the part where the sequence start to be read and the end of the process. Normally, the sequence starts at the 5', which correspond to the N-terminal and finishes at the 3', which matches the C-terminal. So in this example, the DNA template read 5\'GACAGACAA 3\'.
Answer: Dip the pH paper into each test tube and lay it on the table to let it change color. Use a transfer pipet to remove a few drops from the solution to drop onto the paper. Wait a minute or so before reading color. Use the same piece of indicator paper for each solution to conserve paper.
Answer:
A) False
B) True
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
There are two statements. Identify which statement is true or false.
A) For any substance, solid, liquid or gas, mass increases as volume increases.
B) Density represents mass per volume.
Statement A
- Mass is defined as the amount of matter in an object. Its fixed and can't be changed.
- Volume on the other hand is the amount of space an object takes up.
Since the amount of matter is fixed, an increase in volume doesn't cause an increase in mass. For example, a test tube, with a volume of 10ml, contains liquid fragrance. When heated, the fragrance vaporizes and fill the entire room, until you can smell it in every corner. Note that previously the fragrance of same mass was occupying a 10ml space in the test-tube. After heating, the same mass of fragrance occupied the entire room (volume increased but mass remained constant).
It happened because as the fragrance is heated, the space between molecules increases causing them to occupy more space BUT in the whole scenarios, the number of molecules stayed unaffected. <u>Hence statement A is false.
</u>
Statement B
Density measures the compactness of the substance. It's defined as the amount of mass per unit volume. It increases as the atoms/molecules in a substance comes closer. Density of solids are greatest as the atoms/molecules are tightly packed together. It is least in gases as the molecules are far apart from each other. <u>Hence the statement is true.
