Answer:
1/3
Explanation:
Pyruvate is produced by the glycolysis in cytoplasm. The oxidation of pyruvate takes place in mitochondrial matrix.
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the reaction given below:
Pyruvate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO₂
1 molecule of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 1 molecule of pyruvate.
Also,
2 molecules of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 2 molecules of pyruvate (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate).
Also, acetyl-CoA further goes into the citric acid cycle and produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide.
Thus pyruvate produces total 3 molecules of CO₂ and hence glucose produces 6 molecules of CO₂ (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate)
Thus,
<u>Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3</u>
Answer:
- 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Explanation:
<em>Photosynthesis</em> is the chemical process carried out by plants for the conversion of inorganic matter (carbon dioxide and water) into organic matter (glucose) with the release of oxygen, using light (sun energy).
So the chemical process may be represented by:
carbon dioxide + water + sun energy → glucose + oxygen
- <u>Skeleton equation:</u>
CO₂ + H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
- <u>Balanced chemical equation:</u>
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
- <u>Supressing the energy to show only the chemical compounds:</u>
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Answer:
c = 0.13 j/ g.°C
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of mercury = 29.5 g
Initial temperature = 32°C
Final temperature = 161°C
Heat absorbed = 499.2 j
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
Q = m.c. ΔT
ΔT = T2 - T1
ΔT = 161°C - 32°C
ΔT = 129 °C
Q = m.c. ΔT
c = Q / m. ΔT
c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C
c = 499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C
c = 0.13 j/ g.°C
A rock is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition and the way in which it is formed
