The molecule can absorb heat from the environment without changing its chemical structure, as will occur when there is a localtemperature increase. The molecule will have a higher energy. If the increase in energy is above KT (i.e., the entire environment has notincreased its temperature), the molecule will come to thermal equilibrium with the environment around it, and return to its original energystate. Which one of the following is example to this?Select one:O a. Conversion of 11-cis form of retinal to the all-trans form of retinal upon exposure to light, with a maximum absorbance at 500 nm.O b. The absorbance of radiant energy by Melanin pigment in the skin.O c. Thymine-thymine and thymine-cytosine pyrimidine bridges formation upon exposure of DNA to UV-B radiation.O d. The translucent to opaque conversion of egg whites when cooked by increasing the temperature.

Despite the thermal stability of covalent bonds in physiological systems, some of these bonds are sensitive to energy input from external sources. The molecule can absorb heat from the environment without changing its chemical structure, as will occur when there is a local temperature increase. If the increase in energy is above kT (i.e., the entire environment has not increased its temperature), the molecule will come to thermal equilibrium with the environment around it, and return to its original energy state. Which one of the following physiological process is example to this? Select one : a. Absorbance of light by 11-cis-retinal. b. Translucent to opaque conversion of egg whites after cooking. C. Absorbance of light by melanın. d. a & b e. a & c f.b&c g. a, b & c

Define potential energy and kinetic energy and provide two specific examples of each. Explain how one form of energy can be converted into another. Will some energy be lost during this conversion? If so, what form will it take?
In an experiment, identical heat lamps are arranged to shine on two identical containers, one containing water and the other containing, methanol, a nonpolar compound. Each liq- uid absorbed the same amount of energy minute by minute, and the change in tempera- ture over time was recorded for each molecule. The results from the experiment are illus trated in the graph below. A B 40 с temperature (°C) D 25 The heat-related temperature of water and methanol increases over time. methanol Which of the following best explains the results illustrated in the above figure? time (minutes) water 20 Water temperature increases more quickly because part of the supplied heat energy is used to transition the water molecules from a liquid physical state to a gaseous physical state, which does not occur in methanol Water temperature increases more quickly because part of the supplied heat energy is used to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules, which do not occur be tween methanol…
In a transition state diagram, which of the following are features of the transition state (TS)? There may be more than one correct answer, select all that apply. The change in energy in ground state to the transition state represents the Gibbs Free Energy If the reaction is reversible, the TS will only progress forward to form products The TS occupies a trough The TS is associated with the highest energy The TS occupies the highest peak
How does INCREASING temperature affect the rate of reaction (how fast the reaction occurs)? HINT: there are TWO effects.
“Enzyme increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy. In doing so, it also changes the equilibrium of that reaction.” Do you agree/disagree with this statement? And why?
Imagine you are working in a lab, and you are performing two chemical reactions. You notice that Reaction A occurs much faster than Reaction B, and that both reactions release the same amount of heat. Which of the following conclusions can be made from your observation? Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is more negative (i.e., a larger negative number) than the AG for Reaction B. Reaction A has a lower activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has a higher activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is less negative (i.e., a smaller negative number) than the AG for Reaction B.
Explain using terms related to equilibrium and free energy why a microorganism that gets its energy from a nonspontaneous reaction under standard conditions may actually be able to survive in a specific environment. Be clear and concise in four sentences or fewer..
Discuss the following statement: “enzymes and heat are alike in that both can speed up reactions that—although thermodynamically feasible—do not occur at an appreciable rate because they require a high activation energy. diseases that seem to benefit from the careful application of heat—in the form of hot chicken soup, for example—are therefore likely to be due to the insufficient function of an enzyme.”
this one represents an endothermic reaction. Things are similar: the flat line on the left (beginning of the reaction) is the total energy possessed by the reactant molecules; once again, kJ stands for energy in kiloJoules, thousands of Joules. The flat line on the right (reaction complete) is the total energy of the products. Since an endothermic reaction has a net absorption of energy (taking this extra energy from the surroundings), the products have higher energy than the reactants. Question: the energy of the reactant molecules is kJ. [to answer, simply identify the correct y-axis coordinate.] 250 200 PE (kJ) 150 100 50 Reaction pathway
