Two intermediates of the sterol biosynthesis pathway, isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate, are used by archaea in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids. Isoprenoids are organic compounds <span> which play widely varying roles in the physiological processes of plants and animals.</span>
Answer:
(i) 1 moles of C
(ii) 4.5 moles of C
Explanation:
The Chemical equation is as follow,
A + 2 B → C
This chemical equation can be translated as;
(i) 1 mole of A reacts with 2 moles of B
(ii) 1 mole of A produces 1 mole of C
(iii) 2 moles of B reacts with 1 mole of A
(iv) 2 moles of B produces 1 mole of C
(v) 1 mole of C is produced by 1 mole of A and 2 moles of B
Therefore to find the number of moles of C produced by 2 mole of B we will do following proportional method.
As,
2 moles of B produced = 1 mole of C
So,
2 moles of B will produce = X moles of C
Solving for X,
X = 2 moles × 1 mole / 2 moles
X = 1 moles of C
Note:
In above problem the given moles were the same as that present in balance equation so incase if the moles are different from that of the equation then the method shown above can be used to solve it.
Lets try it for 9 moles of B:
As,
2 moles of B produced = 1 mole of C
So,
9 moles of B will produce = X moles of C
Solving for X,
X = 9 moles × 1 mole / 2 moles
X = 4.5 moles of C
The pair of structures that best shows how plant cells are
different from animal cells are chloroplasts and cell walls. The answer
is B.
