Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To draw the structural formula for fumaric acid.
Concept introduction: There are a number of
Polyfunctional carboxylate ions act as a substrate in the metabolic pathways and can be divided into two parts depending upon the parent
Fumaric acid is an unsaturated derivative of succinic acid. The structure of succinic acid is:
(b)
Interpretation: To draw the structural formula for fumarate ion.
Concept introduction: There are a number of metabolic reaction that occur in the human body for completion of functions. During these metabolic reactions, the various metabolic intermediates are formed for the short time to complete the reactions. Polyfunctional carboxylate ions are also the metabolic intermediate formed during metabolic pathways.
Polyfunctional carboxylate ions act as a substrate in the metabolic pathways and can be divided into two parts depending upon the parent carboxylic acid. The two parent carboxylic acids are succinic acid and glutaric acid.
(c)
Interpretation: To draw the structural formula for malic acid.

Polyfunctional carboxylate ions act as a substrate in the metabolic pathways and can be divided into two parts depending upon the parent carboxylic acid. The two parent carboxylic acids are succinic acid and glutaric acid. The first class consists of malate, oxaloacetate and fumarate ion which are derivative of succinic acid. The second class consists of

You must complete your entry before you will be able to see the responses of other students. Responses to other students are encouraged but not required. Grading for discussion entries will be based on application of course concepts, proper grammar, and correct punctuation. Read one the attached article and explore the Human Development Index (https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/human-development-index#/indicies/HDI). In your opinion, is the Human Development Index a good measure of the well- being of the people of a nation? Are the items measured in the HDI valid and relevant in the modern global economy? How are they related to the political economy of a nation? The attached articles propose some alternative measures of well-being. In your opinion, are there other measures of well-being that might be better alternatives to the items in the current HDI?arrow_forwardA patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection.
