Answer:
Even-number fatty acids such as palmitate undergoes complete β-oxidation in the liver motochondria to CO₂ because the product, acetyl-CoA can enter the TCA cycle.
Oxidation of odd-number fatty acids such as undecanoic acid yields acetyl-CoA + propionyl-CoA in their last pass. Propionyl-CoA requires additional reactions including carboxylation in order to be able to enter the TCA cycle.
The reaction CO2 + propionyl-CoA ----> methylmalonyl-CoA is catalyzed by propionyl-CoA carboxylase, a biotin-containing enzyme, which is inhibited by avidin. Palmitate oxidation however, does not involve carboxylation.
Explanation:
Even-number fatty acids such as palmitate undergoes complete β-oxidation in the liver motochondria to CO₂ because their oxidation product, acetyl-CoA, can enter the TCA cycle where it is oxidized to CO₂.
Undecanoic acid is an odd-number fatty acid having 11 carbon atoms. Oxidation of odd-number fatty acids such as undecanoic acid yields a five -carbon fatty acyl substrate for their last pass through β-oxidation which is oxidized and cleaved into acetyl-CoA + propionyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA requires additional reactions including carboxylation in order to be able to enter the TCA cycle. Since oxidation is occuring in a liver extract, CO₂ has to be externally sourced in order for the carboxylation of propionyl-CoA to proceed and thus resulting in comlete oxidation of undecanoic acid.
The reaction CO2 + propionyl-CoA ----> methylmalonyl-CoA is catalyzed by propionyl-CoA carboxylase, a biotin-containing enzyme. The role of biotin is to activate the CO₂ before its tranfer to the propionate moiety. The addition of the protein avidin prevents the complete oxidation of undecanoic acid by binding tightly to biotin, hence inhibiting the activation and transfer of CO₂ to propionate.
Palmitate oxidation however, does not involve carboxylation, hence addition of avidin has no effect on its oxidation.
Answer:
V = 0.5 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Moles of nitrogen = 2.23×10⁻² mol (0.0223 mol)
Temperature = 273 K
Pressure = 1 atm
Volume = ?
Solution:
PV = nRT
V = nRT / P
V = 0.0223 mol × 0.0821 atm. mol⁻¹. L . k⁻¹ × 273 K / 1 atm
V = 0.5 L
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The elements which have excess or deficiency of electrons will react readily.
Atomic number of Mn is 25 and electronic configuration of 
is [Ar]
. This configuration is stable.
Atomic number of Cr is 24 and electronic configuration of 
is [Ar]
. This configuration is not stable.
Atomic number of Fe is 26 and electronic configuration of 
is [Ar]
. This configuration is stable.
Atomic number of Cu is 29 and electronic configuration of 
is [Ar]
. This configuration is not stable.
Atomic number of Al is 13 and electronic configuration of Al is 
. This configuration is not stable.
Atomic number of Ba is 56 and electronic configuration of 
is [Kr]
. This configuration is stable.
Atomic number of Mg is 12 and electronic configuration of 
is 
. This configuration is stable.
Atomic number of Sn is 50 and electronic configuration of Sn is [Kr]
. This configuration is stable.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, only Fe and reactants would lead to a spontaneous reaction as they have incomplete sub-shells. Therefore, in order to gain stability they will readily react.
Answer:
captive breeding would help the best
Explanation:
A volatile substance is defined as the substance which can easily evaporate into the atmosphere due to weak intermolecular forces present within its molecules.
Whereas a flammable substance is defined as a substance which is able to catch fire easily when it comes in contact with flame.
Hence, when we heat a flammable or volatile solvent for a recrystallization then it should be kept in mind that should heat the solvent in a stoppered flask to keep vapor away from any open flames so that it won't catch fire.
And, you should ensure that no one else is using an open flame near your experiment.
Thus, we can conclude that following statements are correct:
- You should heat the solvent in a stoppered flask to keep vapor away from any open flames.
- You should ensure that no one else is using an open flame near your experiment.
