Select all statements that correctly describe hemoglobin and myoglobin structure. a. Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to the

Fe ( II ) Fe(II) atom in heme. b. Each hemoglobin or myoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules. c. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron. d. Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen. e. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron ( Fe ) (Fe) atom. f. Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer. The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried within myoglobin.

Answer:

c. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron.

e. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron ( Fe ) (Fe) atom.

f. Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer. The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried within myoglobin.

Explanation:

The differences between hemoglobin and myoglobin are most important at the level of quaternary structure. Hemoglobin is a tetramer composed of two each of two types of closely related subunits, alpha and beta. Myoglobin is a monomer (so it doesn't have a quaternary structure at all). Myoglobin binds oxygen more tightly than does hemoglobin. This difference in binding energy reflects the movement of oxygen from the bloodstream to the cells, from hemoglobin to myoglobin.

Myoglobin binds oxygen

The binding of O 2 to myoglobin is a simple equilibrium reaction:

Consider the two facts below:
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water.

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases.

Explanation:

Conclusion that can be drawn from the two facts stated above:

*Dissolved oxygen is essential nutrient for fish survival in their aquatic habitat.

*Dissolved oxygen would decrease as the temperature of aquatic habit rises, and vice versa.

*Fishes, therefore, would thrive best in colder waters than warmer waters.

The following are scenarios that can be explained by the facts given and conclusions arrived:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water (solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature)

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases (fishes will thrive best in colder waters where dissolved oxygen is readily available).

If 3.18 x 10^23 atoms of iron react with 67.2 L of chlorine gas at STP, what is the maximum
spin [16.1K]

84.34 grams of grams of iron (III) chloride that can be produced is maximum because Fe is the limiting reagent in this reaction and chlorine gas is excess reagent.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation:

2 Fe + 3 Cl2 → 2 FeCl3​

DATA GIVEN:

iron =  atoms

mass of chlorine gas = 67.2 liters

mass of FeCl3 = ?

number of moles of iron will be calculated as

number of moles = \frac{total number of atoms}{Avagaro's number}

number of moles = \frac{3.18 x 10^23}{6.022x 10^23}

number of moles = 0.52 moles of iron

moles of chlorine gas

number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass of 1 mole}

Putting the values in the equation:

n = \frac{67200}{70.96}               (atomic mass of chlorine gas = 70.96 grams/mole)

   = 947.01 moles

Fe is the limiting reagent so

2 moles of Fe gives 2 moles of FeCl3

0.52 moles of Fe will give

\frac{2}{2} = \frac{x}{0.52}

0.52 moles of FeCl3 is formed.

to convert it into grams:

mass = n X atomic mass

         = 0.52 x 162.2                   (atomic mass of FeCl3 is 162.2grams/mole)  

<h3>           = 84.34 grams         </h3>

How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 132.2 g of MgSO4?
zzz [600]

4.4moles of oxygen atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of MgSO₄ = 132.2g

Unknown:

Number of moles of oxygen atoms = ?

Solution:

The number of moles is the quantity of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

 To solve for this;

 Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of MgSO₄ = 24 + 32 + 4(16) = 120g/mole

  Number of moles = \frac{132.2}{120} = 1.1 moles

In

     1 moles of MgSO₄ we have 4 moles of oxygen atoms

    1.1 moles of MgSO₄ contains 4 x 1.1 moles = 4.4moles of oxygen atoms

Cacodyl, which has an intolerable garlicky odor and is used in the manufacture of cacodylic acid, a cotton herbicide, has a mass
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Explanation:

<u>Let's assume we have 1 mol of cacodyl</u>, in that case we'd have 209.96 g of cacodyl and the<u> following masses of its components</u>:

  • 209.96 g * 22.88/100 = 48.04 g C
  • 209.96 g * 5.76/100 = 12.09 g H
  • 209.96 g * 71.36/100 = 149.83 g As

Now we convert those masses into moles:

  • 48.04 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 4.00 mol C
  • 12.09 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 12.09 mol H
  • 149.83 g As ÷ 74.92 g/mol = 2.00 mol As

Those amounts of moles represent the amount of each component in 1 mol of cacodyl, thus, the molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

What fraction of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated by the reactions of the citric acid cycle
puteri [66]

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>
