Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The acyl group that involves transformation in fourth step of citric acid cycle should be given.
Concept introduction:
Protein catabolism: It is defined as breakdown of proteins into smaller units that is into amino acids gets transported finally
Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
Enzyme: The proteins that helps
Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.
Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.

- 5) Who was responsible for the first model of the atom that included electrons? a. Dalton b. Thomson c. Bohr d. Rutherford 6) Which of the following rate laws is a fourth-order reaction? a. r = k[X][Y]²[Z] b._r= k[X]²[Y]³ C. r = k[X][Y]² d._r= k[X][Y]²[Z]ª 7) The activation energy of a particular reaction will decrease if: a. A catalyst is used. b. Temperature is increased. c. Reactant concentration is increased. d. All of the abovearrow_forwardpls helparrow_forwardState the reason why compound A (m.p. 99-100°C) is heated under vacuum.1. So that the sample heating temperature is not too high when heated under vacuum.2. So that the temperature is higher than the melting point of compound A.3. So that cold water is not required in the sublimator.arrow_forward
- To find the theoretical % yield of a given reaction:1. actual amount obtained once crystallized2. (actual amount obtained / theoretical amount) x 1003. maximum amount of product that can be obtained / amount of initial reactantarrow_forwardThe reason activated carbon decolorizes and purifies a product is:1. It helps dissolve the product and then recrystallize it.2. It reacts with impurities in the product and removes them.3. It retains impurities by adsorption, purifying the product.arrow_forwardThe principle of a rotary evaporator is the same as that of:1. vacuum distillation2. reflux3. fractional distillationarrow_forward
