c. Isoleucine has a carbon “branched” closer to the alpha carbon than does leucine.
The structure of leucine is CH3CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH2CH(NH2)COOH.
The structure of isoleucine is CH3CH2CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH(NH2)COOH.
In leucine, the CH3 group is <em>two carbons away</em> <em>from</em> the α carbon; in isoleucine, the CH3 group is on the carbon <em>next to</em> the α carbon.
Thus, <em>isoleucine</em> has the closer branched carbon.
“One is charged, the other is not” is i<em>ncorrect</em>. Both compounds are uncharged.
“One has more H-bond acceptors than the other” is <em>incorrect</em>. Each acid has two H-bond acceptors — the N in the amino and the O in the carbonyl group.
“They have different numbers of carbon atoms” is <em>incorrec</em>t. They each contain six carbon atoms.
Answer:
A. Reference blank
B. Cuvettes
C. Transmittance
D. Absorbance
E. Wavelength
Explanation:
A reference blank is a sample prepared using the solvent and any other chemicals in the sample solutions, but not the absorbing substance.
A square-shaped container, typically made of quartz, designed to hold samples in a spectrophotometer is known as Cuvettes.
A measurement of the amount of light that passes through a sample or percentage of light transmitted by the sample, with the respective intensities of the incident and transmitted beams is called Transmittance.
The measurement of the amount of light taken in by a sample is known as Absorbance
The wavelength is also the distance travelled by the wave during a period of oscillation. In spectrophotometry, the unit is inversely proportional to energy and commonly measured in nanometers
Models in science help you get the idea of what something looks like that's why your teacher may ask you to draw a diagram to help you remember what the object looks like.
Hope this helps.
