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.

Four different objects are placed on a number line at 0. The chart describes the motion of each object. Using the information in
mote1985 [20]

The chart with the information to answer this question may be found in other Brainly's link, so I attach it now.

Answer:

  • Z

Explanation:

To facilitate the accompaniment of the reasoning, I copy the data here:

Object     Motion

  X           3 units left, 3 units right

  Y           6 units right, 18 units right

  W          8 units left, 24 units right

  Z          16 units right, 8 units left

The <em>distance</em> is the scalar magnitude that indicates the total length of the path traveled.

The <em>displacement</em> is the vector that indicates how far the end point and the initial point are.

In order to calculate the distance, the displacement and the ratio r = distance/displacement, to check which object has a distance that is three times as great as its displacement, i.e. r = 3, we use this new chart:

Object    Motion                                    Distance     Displacement  ratio

  X          3 units left, 3 units right        3 + 3 = 6       3 - 3 = 0            ∞

  Y          6 units right, 18 units right    6 + 18 = 24    6 + 18 = 24       1

  W         8 units left, 24 units right      8 + 24 = 32   -8 + 24 = 16     2

  Z          16 units right, 8 units left       16 + 8 = 24    16 - 8 = 8         3

The ratios were calculated dividing the distance by the displacement: distance / displacement.

For the object Z, that was 24 / 8 = 3. Thus, the object that has a distance that is three times as great as its displacement is the object Z.

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --&gt; Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g) In the reaction above, 0.5487 grams of calcium carbide are completely consumed to
jasenka [17]

Answer:

239.7mL

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

The balanced chemical equation in this question is as follows:

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

From the equation, 1 mole of CaC2 produces 1 mole of ethylene gas, C2H2.

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaC2 = 40 + 12(2)

= 40 + 24

= 64g/mol

mole = 0.5487/64

mole = 0.00857mol of CaC2

Hence, 0.00857mol of CaC2 produced 0.00857mol of C2H2

Based on the information provided, n = 0.00857mol, T = 43°C = 43 + 273 = 316K, p = 0.926 atm

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.00857 × 0.0821 × 316/0.926

V = 0.222/0.926

V = 0.2397L

In mL, volume = 0.2397 × 1000

= 239.7mL
