Answer:

C) the double bond results in the bypassing of the first oxidation step of the pathway, thereby eliminating one FADH2 product

Explanation:

The beta oxidation of fatty acids is the process by which long chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids are oxidized to the two-carbon product, acetylCoA.

The beta oxudation of fatty acids occurs in four steps after which the chain length is shortened by 2 with cleavage of an acetylCoA molecule.

The first step involves the oxidation of the fatty acid with introduction of a double bond between C-2 and C-3 of the long carbon chain. This reaction produces FADH2 which donates its electrons to electron carriers in the electron transport chain tomproduce 1.5 moles of ATP. This is the case with saturated fatty acids.

However, in unsaturated fatty acids (which are less reduced than saturated fatty acids) where there is already a double bond innthe molecule, the double bond results in the bypassing of the first oxidation step of the pathway, thereby eliminating one FADH2 product.

This causes a reduction In the number of ATP produced by unsaturated fatty acids when compared to saturated fatty acids.

Explanation:

The species with a positive charge over it, which means lack of electrons are called cations. Whereas the species with negative over it, meaning it has an excess of electrons with it are called anions.

From the list given the cations are

H+, Ba2+, Hg2+, Li+, Ca2+ and Fe2+

Whereas anions from the list are

O-2, Br-5, F-, S-2.

A Combination of cation and anions make an ionic compound in which cation is written first and then anion.

A 21.0 kg child is running at a velocity of 2.50 m/s. The child is carrying a 2.25 kg gallon of milk. What is the momentum of th
KIM [24]

Answer: The momentum of the child and milk together is 58.125 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of object's mass and velocity.

Mathematically,

p=mv

where, p = momentum

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

In the given question, we are given that a child of mass 21.0 kg is carrying a gallon of milk having mass 2.25 kg and running with a velocity of 2.5 m/s. Hence, the momentum by both milk and child will be:

p=(m_{child}+m_{milk})v     ....(1)

Given:

m_{child}=21.0kg\\m_{milk}=2.25kg\\v=2.5m/s\\p=?kg.m/s

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

p=(21+2.25)kg\times 2.5m/s=58.125kg.m/s

Hence, the momentum of the child and milk together is 58.125 kg.m/s
