What are function of lipids

1 answer:

6 0

Lipids serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signalling molecules. They include fats, waxes, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes and function as energy-storage molecules and chemical messengers.

Hope this helped :)

Calculate the mass of H2OH2O produced by metabolism of 1.6 kgkg of fat, assuming the fat consists entirely of tristearin (C57H11

kakasveta [241]

Answer: 1779.8g of H2O

Explanation:

C57H110O6 + O2 —> CO2 + H20

To calculate the amount of water(H2O) produced by the reaction of 1.6Kg tristearin(C57H110O6) and O2, we must first balance the equation.

To do so, add 2 in front of C57H110O6, 163 in front of O2, 114 in front of CO2 and 110 in front of H2O i.e

2C57H110O6 + 163O2 —> 114CO2 + 110H20

Next, we have to calculate the mass of tristearin(C57H110O6) that reacted and the mass of water produced from the balanced equation. This can be done by:

MM of C57H110O6 = (57x12) + (110x1) + (6x16) = 684 + 110 + 96 = 890g/mol

Mass conc of C57H110O6 = 890 x 2 = 1780g

MM of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass conc of H2O = 110 x 18 = 1980g

Next, we will find the amount of water produced by 1.6Kg(i.e 1600g) of tristearin(C57H110O6). This is done by:

From the equation,

1780g of C57H110O6 produced 1980g of H2O.

Therefore 1600g of C57H110O6 will produce = (1600x1980)/1780 = 1779.8g of H2O

Water molecules form hydrogen bonds to help in the process of water transport. Which property of water is described?

AlekseyPX

The property of water which is described in the lines above is <u>cohesion.
</u>It refers to the fact that water molecules stick to other water molecules, i. e. to themselves, as opposed to sticking to another material, which happens with adhesion. Water and capillaries don't have any connection.<u>

An endothermic solution process is described by which of the following?

Temka [501]

Answer:

a. ΔΗ > 0, solution feels cold

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, endothermic process are those in which we can find that the products have more energy than the reactants, therefore energy is absorbed, for which the following equation:

$\Delta H=\Delta H_{products}-\Delta H_{reactants}$

Must be greater than 0 (positive) thereby, for a solution process we find that the solution feels cold, in such a way, answer is a. ΔΗ > 0, solution feels cold.

Regards.
