Chemistry

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.

What happened to the weather after mount tambora epurted?
storchak [24]

Answer:

The eruption of Mount Tambora eventually reduced the average global temperature by as much as 3 °C.

Explanation:

The Mount Tambora eruption was the largest and most destructive volcanic event in recorded history, expelling as much as 150 cubic km (roughly 36 cubic miles) of ash, pumice, and other rock, and aerosols—including an estimated 60 megatons of sulfur—into the atmosphere. As that material mixed with atmospheric gases, it prevented substantial amounts of sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface, eventually reducing the average global temperature by as much as 3 °C.

Trava [24]
1) Chemical equation

Na2 SiO3 (s) + 8 HF (aq) ---> H2 Si F6 (aq) + 2 Na F (aq) + 3H2O (l)

It is balanced

2) Molar ratios

1 mol Na2 SiO3 : 8 mol HF.

3) Proportion

0.340 mol Na2 SiO3 * 8 mol HF / 1mol Na2SiO3 = 2.72 mol HF.
