2. I take and absorb the nutrients that your body needs from your

Which of the following is NOT a possible end-product of a fermentation process?- glucose- carbon dioxide- lactic acid- ethanol

MArishka [77]

Answer:

glucose

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration:

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration:

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis:

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation:

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced in this step, however carbon dioxide is released.

A. Based on the activation energies and frequency factors, rank the following reactions from fastest to slowest reaction rate, a

deff fn [24]

Answer:

A) $E_{a} = 350KJ/mol$ , $E_{a} = 50KJ/mol$ , $E_{a} = 50KJ/mol$

A = 1.5× $10^{-7}s^{-1}$ , A = 1.9× $10^{-7} s^{-1}$ , A=1.5× $10^{-7} s^{-1}$

B) 4.469

Explanation:

From Arrhenius equation

$K=Ae^{\frac{E_{a} }{RT} }$

where; K = Rate of constant

A = Pre exponetial factor

$E_{a}$ = Activation Energy

R = Universal constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

Given parameters:

$E_{a} =165KJ/mol$

$T_{1}=505K$

$T_{2}=525K$

$R=8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$

taking logarithm on both sides of the equation we have;

$InK=InA-\frac{E_{a} }{RT}$

since we have the rate of two different temperature the equation can be derived as:

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{E_{a} }{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1} } -\frac{1}{T_{2} } )$

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{165000J/mol}{8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1} }.(\frac{1}{505} -\frac{1}{525} )$

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )$ = 19846.04×7.544× $10^{-5}$ = 1.497

$\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} }$ = $e^{1.497}$ = 4.469

The molar ratio of HPO42- to H2PO4- in a solution is 1.4. Calculate the pH of the solution. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a triprot

Bezzdna [24]

Given is the ratio of conjugate base and conjugate acid of phosphoric acid. pH of a substance is the concentration of the hydrogen ions in its solution and higher this concentration lower is the value of pH.

pKa value is a measure of the strength of acid, it is the negative log of acid dissociation constant Ka.

Why are scientists worried that climate change will cause these toxic algae blooms to become more frequent?

ipn [44]

Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.
