<h2>Answer:</h2>

The compound is tripropylene glycol .

Monomers of C9H20O4 =  propylene glycol

<h3>Explain:</h3>

Tripropylene glycol is formed by the condensation of 3 monomers with the lose of 2 molecules of water.

The breakdown of  tripropylene glycol:

             C9H20O4 + 2H2O → C3H8O2 + C3H8O2 + C3H8O2

Belonging to the large family of alcohols, propylene glycol is a chemical element widely used by the food industry thanks to its recognized emulsifying properties. It is referable to its acronym E1520. This colorless, low volatile and soluble diol is also used in many other industries. Pharmaceutical, cosmetic, aeronautic, textile industries ... Propylene glycol is involved in the composition of many polymers such as polyester. Non-toxic when inhaled, propylene glycol is used in electronic cigarette filling fluid to produce an aerosol effect comparable to that of smoke.

With respect to polypropylene glycol, each condensation of propylene glycol causes a loss of a water molecule

C3H8O2 + C3H8O2 + C3H8O2 ==> C9H20O4 + 2H2O

Identify the enzymes that are required for the synthesis of a glycogen particle starting from glucose 6‑phosphate. A. branching
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option A and C and D

Explanation:

Gylcogen is synthesized through a series of reactions through the assistance of enzymes. When glucose enter into the cell, it is converted into glucose 6-phosphate and then into glucose 1-phosphate and finally into uridine 5ʹ-diphosphate-glucose. In glycogenesis, glycogen is broken down into glucose 1-phosphate with the help of two glycogen phosphorylase. In the next stage the glycogen debranching enzyme untangles the branch points.

Hence, option A and C and D are correct

The NET reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is _____ per mouse per month in a population of 1,000 mice where 500 mice
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

The Net Reproduction per individual per unit time (r) can be calculated as (births-deaths)/population size

Given that:

Population size of mice = 1,000; Birth = 500; Death = 400,

Net reproduction rate (r) = (births-deaths)/population size

r = (500 – 400)/1000

r = 100/1000

r = 0.1

The Net reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is 0.1

How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla
kirza4 [7]
The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.
