The shape of a protein molecule resembles BEADS ON A STRING.
Proteins are macro molecules that are formed from amino acids. There are different types of amino acids, thus, different amino acids combine together to form different types of protein. This means that, proteins are formed from sequences of amino acids; they are long chains of different amino acids, that is why, they are likened to beads on string.
The structures of proteins are in three dimensions, they are primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure refers to the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. The amino acids in the primary structure are linked together by peptide bonds.
10 seconds = 8grams
then just divide by 2 another 4 times...
= 0.5grams after 50 seconds
Answer:
Thermal decomposition or cracking
Explanation:
Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.
Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.
When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.
Example is given below:
C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
