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.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2.1 × 10⁻¹ M

2.0 × 10⁻¹ m

Explanation:

Molarity

The molar mass of aniline (solute) is 93.13 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 3.9 g are:

3.9 g × (1 mol/93.13 g) = 0.042 mol

The volume of the solution is 200 mL (0.200 L). The molarity of aniline is:

M = 0.042 mol/0.200 L = 0.21 M = 2.1 × 10⁻¹ M

Molality

The moles of solute are 0.042 mol.

The density of the solvent is 1.05 g/mL. The mass corresponding to 200 mL is:

200 mL × 1.05 g/mL = 210 g = 0.210 kg

The molality of aniline is:

m = 0.042 mol/0.210 kg = 0.20 m = 2.0 × 10⁻¹ m

Can someone help me with number 1 and 2 plz!
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1) 0 N

2) 8 N

Explanation:

The net force is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object.

For question 1, we can see that there is a force of 5 N acting to the right and 5 N acting to the left.  If we define the right to be positive and the left to be negative, then the net force equals:

Fnet = 5N - 5N = 0 N

Therefore, the net force in question 1 is 0 N.

For question 2, the process is very similar.  We want to find the sum of the forces acting on the object.  In this case, there are forces of 3 N and 5 N acting to the right.

Fnet = 3 N + 5 N = 8 N

Therefore, the net force in question 2 is 8 N.

Hope this helps!

Explain what helps convert non-rich oxygen blood cells back to oxygen rich cells?
Reil [10]

Answer:

As blood travels through the body, oxygen is used up, and the blood becomes oxygen poor. Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body to the heart through the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC), the two main veins that bring blood back to the heart.

An atom has 2 protons in its nucleus . Which of the following must be true for this atom to have no net electrical charge
ehidna [41]
If an atom has 2 protons, then it must also have 2 electrons for there to be no charge. An extra electron will cause for you to have a negative charge, and if you have more protons than electrons, then you will have a positive charge. :)

Determine whether each molecule given below is polar or nonpolar. of2
sergejj [24]

Answer : The molecule OF_2 is a polar molecule.

Explanation :

Polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is asymmetrical then the molecule is polar.

Non-polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is symmetrical then the molecule is non-polar.

The given molecule is, OF_2

The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine are different. The molecular geometry of OF_2 is bent. As, Fluorine is more elctronegative than the oxygen. So, the arrows putting towards the more electronegative element i.e, fluorine. These arrows do not balance each other. Due to this, the asymmetrical arrangement of these bonds makes the molecule polar.

Hence, the given molecule OF_2 is polar.
