Answer:

Fatty acids

Explanation:

Acetyl coA is a compound vital for the process of cellular respiration in the mitochondria. It is the starting material of the kreb's cycle or TCA cycle, which takes place in the mitochondria. During the metabolism of glucose (glycolysis), a molecule called PYRUVATE is first synthesized before becoming acetyl coA in the mitochondrion.

However, the metabolism of FATTY ACIDS (monomers of lipids) directly gives rise to acetyl coA without first becoming pyruvate. The fatty acids molecule undergo Beta- oxidation to produce acetyl coA, which enters the TCA cycle to continue cellular respiration.

What's the formula equation for the reaction that occurred between the barium chloride solution , BaCl2 (aq), and the sodium sul

Solnce55 [7]

The balanced equation is:

BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) ----> BaSO4(s)+ 2 NaCl(aq)

This is a double replacement reaction.

The reactants are:

a) BaCl2: barium chloride, a ionic compound, therefore soluble in water,

b) Na2SO4: sodium sulfate, another ionic compound, therefore also soluble in water.

The products are:

c) BaSO4: barium sulfate, a solid not soluble in water which precipitates.

d) NaCl: sodium chloride, an ionic compound, therefore soluble in water.

Describe the properties of the compound in sugar, and Compare the properties of the

kogti [31]

Answer: Sodium chloride is an ionic solid, and when it dissolves in water, its individual sodium and chloride ions are dissociated from one another. Sugar molecules, on the other hand, maintain the bonds between their constituent atoms when dissolved, and thus remain as whole molecules in the solution.

Explanation: Here's why: Salt is about 25% more dense than sugar. Therefore a teaspoon of salt weighs more than a teaspoon of sugar by almost 25%. Your dissolving test would not be accurate because you would be starting out with a larger mass of salt than sugar.
