Nostrana [21]2 years ago

The cyclopropane molecule is highly strained due to <u>the presence of bond angle 60</u>. Another reason that makes it highly strained is the <u>torsional strain</u> that leads to the formation of eclipsed conformation of the hydrogen bond.

 

Further explanation:

Cyclopropane is an explosive, colourless gas that is used for medicinal purpose. It is a non-irritating to the <u>mucous membranes and also affects respiration</u>. It is highly strained molecule as the confirmation of cycloalkanes is stimulated by torsional angle, angle strain as well as steric edge.

Cycloalkanes are <u>composed of more than three carbon atoms</u> that are not flat molecule and they are puckered.

The three as well as four-membered ring compound consists of angle strain and also minimise the internal bond angles. Angle strain is formed due to the deviation of bond angles from an <u>optimum tetrahedral angle such as 109.5ᴼ</u>. Torsional stress is formed due to the eclipsing interactions while a steric strain is formed when the carbon atoms are forced towards each other.

Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule because the conformations of the cycloalkanes are influenced by the torsional, angle strain, and steric strain. Cycloalkanes, which comprises more than three atoms of carbons are not flat molecules, they are puckered.  

The three and four-membered ring components exhibit angle strain and minimize the internal bond angles. The angle strain is generated when the bond angles deviate from the optimum tetrahedral angle, that is, 109.5 degree.  

Torsional strain is a resultant of eclipsing interactions, and steric strain is attained when the atoms are forced too close to each other.

Drag each tile to the correct box. The flu vaccine activates adaptive immunity. How does this occur? Antibodies are quickly prod
mestny [16]

Answer:

The correct order would be:

A vaccine introduces a weakened flu virus into the body.

                                                        ↓

The immune system identifies antigens on the weakened flu virus.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are produced, which bind to the weakened flu virus and signal immune cells to destroy it.

                                                        ↓

The actual flu virus enters the body, and lymphocytes recognize the antigens.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are quickly produced and allow the body to fight off the infection.

Vaccination or immunization is the process which helps in developing the immunity (adaptive) against a particular pathogen or microorganism.

It includes the administration of antigen, weakened or heat-killed microorganism (such as flu virus) into the patients body. Body's immune system produces naive B and T cells to eliminate the antigen.

This encounter enables the immune system to produce memory B and T cells against that particular pathogen.

In future, whenever the same antigen enters the body, the immune system gets activated quickly due to the presence of memory cells. It enables the body to produce more effective secondary response against the pathogen.

slava [35]

When a cat drops from a tree to the ground, the cat is transforming chemical energy attained from the food into kinetic energy. The later energy is used by the living species when they are performing locomotion.  

When a cat feeds on a mouse, the mouse will undergo through the process of digestion resulting in the formation of chemical energy. Thus, the food consumed by the cat will get transformed into chemical energy that can be utilized by the cat to perform its usual activities.

When the protein gramicidin is integrated into a membrane, an H+ channel forms and the membrane becomes very permeable to proton
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

because a proton gradient is necessary over the inner mitochondrial membrane during oxidative phosphorylation for ATP production, ATP production will decease if gramicidin is added because the inner mitochondrial membrane will become permeable and the protons will be able to move in and out, there will be no electrochemical gradient left to drive ATP production. Electron transport will not be altered because it is dependent on the availability of NADH and FADH2. proton pumping also will remain the same but it will be useless because the protons can go back and forth
