Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given alkane has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
On naming the alkanes,
- The longest continuous carbon should be numbered, so that the main chain can be identified.
- Number the main chain beginning at the end nearer to the first branch.
- Identify and number the substituents.
- Write the name as one word.
Carbon can be classified into four types; they are primary (has one other carbon attached), secondary (has two other carbon attached), tertiary (has three other carbon attached) and quaternary (four other carbon attached.)
(b)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given alkane has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are hydrocarbon that has only single bond.
On naming the alkanes,
- The longest continuous carbon should be numbered, so that the main chain can be identified.
- Number the main chain beginning at the end nearer to the first branch.
- Identify and number the substituents.
- Write the name as one word.
Carbon can be classified into four types; they are primary (has one other carbon attached), secondary (has two other carbon attached), tertiary (has three other carbon attached) and quaternary (four other carbon attached.)

- Which features of the curves in Figure 30-2 indicates that the enzyme is not consumed in the overall reaction? ES is lower in energy that E + S and EP is lower in energy than E + P. What does this tell you about the stability of ES versus E + S and EP versus E + P.arrow_forwardLooking at the figure 30-5 what intermolecular forces are present between the substrate and the enzyme and the substrate and cofactors.arrow_forwardprovide short answers to the followings Urgent!arrow_forward
- Pyruvate is accepted into the TCA cycle by a “feeder” reaction using the pyruvatedehydrogenase complex, resulting in acetyl-CoA and CO2. Provide a full mechanismfor this reaction utilizing the TPP cofactor. Include the roles of all cofactors.arrow_forwardB- Vitamins are converted readily into important metabolic cofactors. Deficiency inany one of them has serious side effects. a. The disease beriberi results from a vitamin B 1 (Thiamine) deficiency and ischaracterized by cardiac and neurological symptoms. One key diagnostic forthis disease is an increased level of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate in thebloodstream. How does this vitamin deficiency lead to increased serumlevels of these factors? b. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patientsuffering from vitamin B 5 deficiency? c. What would you expect the effect on the TCA intermediates for a patientsuffering from vitamin B 2 /B 3 deficiency?arrow_forwardDraw the Krebs Cycle and show the entry points for the amino acids Alanine,Glutamic Acid, Asparagine, and Valine into the Krebs Cycle - (Draw the Mechanism).
