<span>El Niño during the time of 1997 to 1998 caused drought in Southeast Asia and flooding in much of Latin America and in the Horn of Africa due to significant amounts of rainfall. The effects in both places were numerous deaths. In areas where it flooded, mudslides occurred and spoiled seed stores. In areas of drought, crops were extremely diminished and let to starvation.</span>
Answer:
D) the carbon with the low-energy phosphate on it in 1,3 BPG is labeled.
Explanation:
Glycolysis has 2 phase (1) preparatory phase (2) pay-off phase.
<u>(1) Preparatory phase</u>
During preparatory phase glucose is converted into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Till this time the carbon numbering remains the same i.e. if we will label carbon at 6th position of glucose, its position will remian the same in fructose-1,6-bisphosphate that means the labeled carbon will still remain at 6th position.
When fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is further catalyzed with the help of enzyme aldolase it is cleaved into two 3 carbon intermediates which are glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) and dihyroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). In this conversion, the first three carbons of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate become carbons of DHAP while the last three carbons of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate will become carbons of GAP. It simply means that GAP will acquire the last carbon of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate which is labeled. Now the last carbon of GAP which has phosphate will be labeled.
<u>(2) Pay-off phase</u>
During this phase, GAP is dehydrogenated into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) with the help of enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This oxidation is coupled to phosphorylation of C1 of GAP and this is the reason why 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate has phosphates at 2 positions i.e. at position 1 in which phosphate is newly added and position 3rd which already had labeled carbon.
It is pertinent to mention here that<u> BPG has a mixed anhydride and the bond at C1 is a very high energy bond.</u> In the next step, this high energy bond is hydrolyzed into a carboxylic acid with the help of enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase and the final product is 3-phosphoglycerate. Hence, the carbon with low energy phosphate i.e. the carbon at 3rd position remains labeled.
<span>Answer:
For this problem, you would need to know the specific heat of water, that is, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree C. The formula is q = c X m X delta T, where q is the specific heat of water, m is the mass and delta T is the change in temperature. If we look up the specific heat of water, we find it is 4.184 J/(g X degree C). The temperature of the water went up 20 degrees.
4.184 x 713 x 20.0 = 59700 J to 3 significant digits, or 59.7 kJ.
Now, that is the energy to form B2O3 from 1 gram of boron. If we want kJ/mole, we need to do a little more work.
To find the number of moles of Boron contained in 1 gram, we need to know the gram atomic mass of Boron, which is 10.811. Dividing 1 gram of boron by 10.811 gives us .0925 moles of boron. Since it takes 2 moles of boron to make 1 mole B2O3, we would divide the number of moles of boron by two to get the number of moles of B2O3.
.0925/2 = .0462 moles...so you would divide the energy in KJ by the number of moles to get KJ/mole. 59.7/.0462 = 1290 KJ/mole.</span>
The answer is D only metals are shiny and highly malleable
Water would have a much lower boiling point much like its other hydrides and it would loss its ability to dissolve polar substances plus it couldn't form water columns so no more cohesion between water molecules
