Arsenate (AsO43-) is structurally and chemically similar to inorganic phosphate (PO43-), and many enzymes that act on phosphate

will also use arsenate as a substrate if it is available. However, unlike phosphates, organic compounds of arsenate are kinetically unstable. For example, acyl phosphates (such as 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate) require an enzyme to catalyze phosphate hydrolysis on a biologically relevant timescale, but acyl arsenates hydrolyze almost instantaneously in water without an enzyme.
a) Predict the effect on the net reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase if phosphate were replaced by arsenate.
b) Write a balanced overall equation for the conversion of glucose to pyruvate in the presence of ATP, ADP, NAD+, and arsenate.
c) Arsenate is extremely toxic to most organisms. Based on your answers above, explain why.

Answer:

A) The effect on the net reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde is that

The 1-arsen0, 3-phosphoglycerate will decompose without enzymes hence no ATP will be formed in the reaction ( phosphoglycerate Kinase )

B) There will be  no conversion of ADP to ATP from the conversion of glucose to pyruvate hence No balanced overall equation can be derived

C ) Arsenate is very toxic to most organisms and it is used mostly regarded  as poisons during the formation of glycolysis, it forms  1-arsen0, 3-phosphoglycerate which  hinders the formation of ATP because it is unstable and will hydrolyze quickly, this will also lead to the reduction in oxygen in cells thereby leading to the death of cells

A sample of carbon -12 has a mass of 6.00 g. How many atoms of carbon -12 are in the sample ?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

3.02e23

Explanation:

carbon molecular weight = 12 g /mol

1 mol = 6.02e23 atoms

your sample, 6 g / 12 g/mol = 0.5 mol

0.5 x 6.02e23 =

HELP. What change in state occurs when water boils? And why does this change happen??
Lapatulllka [165]
Boiling is the process by which a liquid turns into a vapor when it is heated to it’s boiling point. The change from a liquid phase to a gaseous phase occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure exerted on the liquid. Boiling is a physical change and molecules are not chemically altered during the process.
Hope that helped!

Which of the following statements is true?
dybincka [34]

Answer:C

Explanation:

A process is called spontaneous if the process takes place on its own without the intervention of external factors.

The spontaneous processes are generally quick with observable rates of reaction.But processes can be spontaneous even with negligible rates of reaction.

Spontaneity of reactions depend on temperature.

This is because spontaneity is measured by gibbs energy or enthalpy.

Both of these measures are dependent on temperature.

So,temperature affects spontaneity.
