Answer:
4-oxopentanoic acid.
Explanation:
In this case, we must remember that the Grignard reaction is a reaction in which <u>carbanions</u> are produced. Carboanions have the ability to react with CO2 to generate a new C-C bond and a carboxylate ion. Finally, the acid medium will protonate the carboxylate to produce the <u>carboxylic acid group.
</u>
The molecules that can follow the mechanism described above are the molecules: p-methylbenzoic acid, cyclopentane carboxylic acid and 3-methylbutanoic acid. (See figure 1)
In the case of <u>4-oxopentanoic acid</u>, the possible carbanion <u>will attack the carbonyl group</u> to generate a cyclic structure and an alcohol group (1-methylcyclopropan-1-ol). Therefore, this molecule cannot be produced by this reaction. (See figure 2)
Answer:
1. C- Three.
2. A- Methionine
3. D- Translocation.
4. C- OH.
5. A - 5'
6. A - 3' carbon
7. A. adenine and guanine
Explanation:
1. A codon is a group of three nucleotide sequence that encodes or specifies an amino acid. This means that, during translation (second stage of gene expression), when a CODON is read, an amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain.
2. The codon that initiates the translation process is called a start codon. It has a sequence: AUG and it specifies Methionine amino acid. Hence, during translation where a tRNA binds to the mRNA codon to read it and add its corresponding amino acid, a tRNA with a complementary sequence of AUG (start codon) binds to it and carries Methionine amino acid.
3. Translocation is a process during translation whereby the mRNA-tRNA moeity moves forward in the ribosome to allow another codon to move into the vacant site for translation process to continue.
4. The sugar component of a nucelotide that makes up the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) i.e. ribose or deoxyribose, contains an hydroxyll functional group (-OH).
5. A nucleotide consists of a pentose (five carbon) sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group (PO43-) is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule.
6. The free hydroxyll group (-OH) of the five carbon sugar molecule in DNA is attached to its 3' carbon.
7. Nitrogenous bases are the third component of a nucleotide, the other two being pentose sugar and phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are four viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These bases are classified into Purines and Pyrimidines based on the similarity in their structure. Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) are Purines because they possess have two carbon-nitrogen rings, as opposed to one possessed by Pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine).
Answer:
If it takes more energy to break the original bonds than is released when the new bonds are formed, then the net energy of the reaction is negative. This means that energy must be pumped into the system to keep the reaction going. Such reactions are known as endothermic.
