The necessity of ascorbic acid for its role in _____ is believed to be the reason that people with scurvy have no energy and are
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Carnitine Synthesis

Explanation:

Ascorbic acid acts as a cofactor in various hydroxylation and amidation reactions by electron transfer to enzymes that provide reducing equivalents. Accordingly, ascorbic acid is required or facilitates the conversion of certain proline and lysine residues of the procollagen, the oxidation of lysine side chains to proteins, providing hydroxytrimethylsiline for carnitine synthesis. This means that ascorbic acid is essential for the carnitine synthesis.

Carnitine is derived from amino acids and acts as a cofactor for the enzyme acetyltransferase responsible for the transport of fatty acids to mitochondria. Your presence in the body is very important for feeling energetic and strong. The lack of canitine, influenced by the lack of ascorbic acid in individuals suffering from scurvy, causes a lack of energy.

Enter the formula for the compound cobalt(II) phosphate. Express your answer as a chemical formula.
alexira [117]

Answer:

Co_3(PO_4)_2

Explanation:

Naming of the ionic compounds:-

  • The name of the cation is written first and the the name of the anion is written after the name of the cation separated by single space.
  • The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
  • In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, given ionic compound:-

Cobalt(II) phosphate

So, Cobalt will have a positive charge of +2

Phosphate is PO_4^{3-}

So, the formula is :-

Co         PO_4^{3-}

2                    3

Co_3(PO_4)_2
