Answer:
Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.
Explanation:
A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.
The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.
Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,
Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents
Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it
Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it
Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents
Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.
Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.
Answer:
Glycogen in an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues.
Explanation:
Full question:
Glycogen ________
A) forms the regulatory molecules known as enzymes
B) serves as a structural component of human cells
C) helps to protect vital organs from damage
D) is an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues
E) contains the genetic information found in cells
Glycogen is a complex polysaccharide of glucose founded in humans, animals, fungi and even bacteria. In humans, the glycogen is made and stored in liver cells. In the center on glycogen molecule, there is a single protein called Glycogenin. It is a center of a big flower made of glucose molecules (please refer to the scheme attached - Glycogenin is red and the blue lines are glucose chains). Glycogen is also stored in skeletal muscle, red and white blood cells, in glial brain cells and kidneys but in a smaller amounts. It can be found in the placenta in pregnant women where it serves as a nutrient storage for embryo. In an adult, the liver weighs 1,5 kg and glycogen weighs about 120g in such a liver. After a meal, the level of sugar is rising and the insulin is being secreted. Insulin is a tool by which sugar is being delivered to the cells, like a food delivery. During this period, glycogen is being synthesized in the liver out of glucose residues. When the meal is digested, the sugar level is back to normal. When more energy is needed, glycogen from the liver is broken down by glycogen phosphorylase and the new sugar is released into the bloodstream.
Answer:
1-Pentene
Explanation:
If we look at all the options listed, we will notice that the rate of reaction of bromine with each one differs significantly.
For 1-pentene, addition of bromine across the double bond is a relatively fast process. It is usually used as a test for unsaturation. Bromine water is easily decolorized by alkenes.
Cyclohexane, heptane are alkanes. They can only react with chlorine in the presence of sunlight. This is a substitution reaction. It does not occur easily. A certain quantum of light is required for the reaction to occur.
For benzene, bromine can only react with it by electrophilic substitution in which the benzene ring is retained. A Lewis acid is often required for the reaction to occur and it doesn't occur easily.
Here are the possible answers for the following questions above:
1. H-CC-H (name) - C<span>. ethyne
</span>2. cyclic compound with both saturated and unsaturated characteristics - G<span>. benzene

Number 1 is Comets and asteroids
Number 2 is Comets are made of ice and rock
Number 3 is Meteor
