Convert enzyme concentrations of 2.5%, 5.0%, and 10% to ppt units.

Biology
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2.5 x 10¹⁰ ppt

5.0 x 10¹⁰ ppt

1.0 x 10¹¹ ppt

Explanation:

The notation ppt refers to parts per trillion units, that is, how many parts of enzyme are there in 1 trillion parts. Percentage refers to the number of parts per 100 units. Converting the given values from percentage to ppt:

\frac{2.5}{100}=\frac{a}{1,000,000,000,000}\\a=2.5 *10^{10}\ ppt\\\\\frac{5.0}{100}=\frac{b}{1,000,000,000,000}\\b=5.0 *10^{10}\ ppt\\\\\frac{10}{100}=\frac{c}{1,000,000,000,000}\\c=1*10^{11}\ ppt

The concentration in ppt are:

2.5 x 10¹⁰ ppt

5.0 x 10¹⁰ ppt

1.0 x 10¹¹ ppt

Cocaine has two effects on synaptic transmission: it impairs reuptake of dopamine and it causes more dopamine to be released int
Veronika [31]

<span>Cocaine is an indirect agonist of dopamine <span>receptors which</span> means he </span>has no specific agonist activity at the dopamine receptor<span> but he enhances his activity. Cocaine</span> acts by binding to the dopamine transporter, blocking the removal of dopamine from the synapse and blocking termination of dopamine signalling. As a result, it increases the extracellular concentration of dopamine and therefore signal to the receiving neurons is amplified.

The major difference between starch, glycogen, and cellulose and their adjacent glucose subunits is the ________.
sveta [45]

Answer:

<u>Starch</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Cellulose </u>is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.

<u>Glycogen</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.

Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.

Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.

Which of the following components of the electron transport chain passes electrons to O2 and causing it to be reduced to H20?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, cytochrome c oxidase.

Explanation:

A sequence of complexes, which conduct electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions, that is, both oxidation and reduction reactions taking place simultaneously is termed as the electron transport chain. This conduction of electrons is further combined with the mediation of protons across a membrane.  

Four membrane-bound complexes are present within the mitochondria, of these in complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, the withdrawal of 4 electrons takes place from 4 molecules of cytochrome c, and is mediated towards the molecular oxygen, which further gives rise to 2 molecules of water. During the process, 8 H+ are withdrawn from the mitochondrial matrix, which contributes to the proton gradient.
