An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of which of the following enzymes (+ indicates activi

ty is increased; - indicates activity is not increased by insulin)?
Chemistry
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]2 years ago

Answer: An increase in the ratio of insulin to glucagon will increase the activity of --

- Acetyl-CoA carboxylase(+)

-Phosphofructokinase PFK2(+)

-Glycogen synthase(+)

- Hormone sensitive lipase (-). The hormone sensitive lipase activity is not increased with increased insulin activity.

Explanation: increased insulin - glucagon ratio is usually high in fed state.Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.

A paint machine dispenses dye into paint cans to create different shades of paint. The amount of dye dispensed into a can is kno
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The 9th percentile is 4.464ml

Explanation:

Hello!

Given the variable X: Amount of dye dispensed into a paint can.

With a normal distribution, mean μ= 5ml and standard deviation δ= 0.4ml

You need to calculate the 9th percentile of the distribution.

The percentile is a measure of the position that indicates the number that separates the distribution or data set in a percentage of interest. In this case, the 9th percentile is the value of the distribution that separates the bottom 9% from the top 91%.

Symbolically:

P(X≤x₀)= 0.09

x₀ represents the value of the percentile.

The best way to calculate this value is by using the standard normal distribution since it is already tabulated, and then "translate" the Z-value to a value of the variable.

Under the standard normal distribution you have to look for:

P(Z≤z₀)= 0.09

The value marks the bottom 9% of the distribution, this means that you'll find it in the left tail of it. Remember the mean of the standard normal distribution is zero, so all values under the mean will be negative. Using the left entry of the Z-table you have to look for 0.09 in the body of the table and reach the margins to find the corresponding value:

z₀= -1.34

Now using the formula of the distribution you can "translate" the Z-value in terms of the variable of interest

Z=(X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

z₀=(x₀-μ)/ δ

z₀*δ=x₀-μ

x₀=(z₀*δ)+μ

x₀=(-1.34*0.4)+5

x₀= 4.464

The 9th percentile is 4.464ml

I hope you have a SUPER day!

torisob [31]

Answer:

a. pka = 3,73.

b. pkb = 10,27.

Explanation:

a. Supposing the chemical formula of X-281 is HX, the dissociation in water is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + X⁻

Where ka is defined as:

ka = \frac{[H_3O^+][X^-]}{[HX]}

In equilibrium, molar concentrations are:

[HX] = 0,089M - x

[H₃O⁺] = x

[X⁻] = x

pH is defined as -log[H₃O⁺]], thus, [H₃O⁺] is:

[H_3O^+]} = 10^{-2,40}

[H₃O⁺] = <em>0,004M</em>

Thus:

[X⁻] = 0,004M

And:

[HX] = 0,089M - 0,004M = <em>0,085M</em>

ka = \frac{[0,004][0,004]}{[0,085]}

ka = 1,88x10⁻⁴

And <em>pka = 3,73</em>

b. As pka + pkb = 14,00

pkb = 14,00 - 3,73

<em>pkb = 10,27</em>

I hope it helps!

If the kinetic energy of a particle is equal to twice its rest mass, what is the velocity of the particle? Determine if relativi
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the particle is 2 m/s,

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as energy of the body due to its motion. It is given by :

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where :

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

We have , particle with mass m and its kinetic energy is twice its mass.

K.E=2m

2m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=\frac{4}{1}

v=2

And unit of velocity are m/s , so the velocity of the particle is 2 m/s.

How many grams of KBr are required to make 550. mL of a 0.115 M KBr solution?
In-s [12.5K]

Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For example, we are given a solution of 2M NaOH this describes a solution that has 2 moles of NaOH per 1 L volume of the solution. We calculate as follows:

0.115 M = n mol KBr / .55 L solution

n = 0.06325 mol KBr

mass = 0.06325 mol KBr (119 g / mol) = 7.53 g KBr
