Answer:
e. UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the reaction of glucose-I-phosphate and UTP to UDP-glucose and PPi
a. Pyrophosphatase converts PPi and water into two Pi
b. Glycogen synthase adds a glucose unit from UDP-glucose to glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and UDP
Explanation:
Glycogen synthesis or glycogenesis is the process of synthesis of glycogen molecules from glucose molecules in living organisms. Glycogen is a polysaccharide storage form of glucose and helps to store excess glucose in the body form use when required by the body.
The synthesis of glycogen involves sugar nucleotides. Sugar nucleotides are compounds in which a sugar molecule is attached to a nucleotide through phosphate ester bond, resulting in the activation of the sugar molecule. The sugar nucleotides then are used as substrates for the polymerization of the monosaccharide sugars into disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
In the synthesis of glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate from phosphorylation of free glucose by hexokinase is first isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase.
Glucose-1-phosphate is then converted to UDP-glucose by its reaction with UTP catalyse by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. The reaction is favoured by the rapid hydrolysis of PPi produced to two molecules of inorganic phosphate by the enzyme pyrophosphatase.
Glycogen synthase then adds a glucose unit from UDP-glucose to a growing chain of glycogen, producing a larger glycogen molecule and free UDP.

C, a compound because it means it was made up of more than one element but, still able to be separated from the other compound(s)
Answer:
Option D. The nervous system regulates the movement of the muscular system.
Explanation:
The nervous system regulates the movement of the muscles as they receive signals from both the brain and nerve cells
- The mass percent of
Pentane in solution is 16.49%
- The mass percent of
Hexane in solution is 83.51%
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Take 1 kg basis for the vapor: 35.5 mass% pentane = 355 g pentane with 645 g hexane.
-
Convert these values to mol% using their molecular weights:
Pentane: Mp = 72.15 g/mol -> 355g/72.15 g/mol = 4.92mol
Hexane: Mh = 86.18 g/mol -> 645g/86.18 g/mol = 7.48mol
Pentane mol%: yp = 4.92/(4.92+7.48) = 39.68%
Hexane mol%: yh = 100 - 39.68 = 60.32%
Pp-vap = 425 torr = 0.555atm
Ph-vap = 151 torr = 0.199atm
-
From Raoult's law we know:
Pp = xp 
Pp - vap = yp Pt (1)
Ph = xh Ph - vap = yh Pt (2)
-
Since it is a binary mixture we can write xh = (1 - xp) and yh = (1 - yp), therefore (2) becomes:
(1 - xp) Ph - vap = (1 - yp) Pt (3)
-
Substituting (1) into (3) we get:
(1-xp) Ph - vap = (1 - yp) xp Pp - vap / yp (4)
xp = Ph - vap / (Pp - vap/yp - Pp - vap + Ph - vap) (5)
-
Subbing in the values we find:
Pentane mol% in solution: xp = 19.08%
Hexane mol% in solution: xh = 80.92%
-
Now for converting these mol% to mass%, take 1 mol basis for the solution and multiplying it by molar mass:
mp = 0.1908 mol 72.15 g/mol
= 13.766 g
mh = 0.8092 mol 86.18 g/mol
= 69.737 g
-
Mass% of Pentane solution = 13.766/(13.766+69.737)
= 16.49%
-
Mass% of Hexane solution = 83.51%
