Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the molecule acetoacetyl CoA is a C2, C4, C6 or C8 molecule has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the molecule 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA is a C2, C4, C6 or C8 molecule has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ketone bodies are water-soluble molecules which are synthesized from acetyl CoA through the process of ketogenesis. Ketogenesis occurs in the mitochondria of the liver cells. The initial reactants are the molecules of acetyl CoA which are produced by the β-oxidation of fatty acid molecules. Ketone bodies are generally produced when the amount of acetyl CoA in the body is much larger than the amount of oxaloacetate. This happens due to the carbohydrate-lipid imbalance in the body caused by much smaller intake of food rich in carbohydrates, or inefficient processing of glucose by the body.

- CaTiO3 has a perovskite structure. Calculate the packing factor.Data: ionic radii Co+2 = 0.106 nm, Ti+4 = 0.064 nm, O-2 = 0.132 nm; lattice constant is a = 2(rTi4+ + rO-2).(a) 0.581(b) -0.581(c) 0.254(d) -0.254arrow_forwardIn the initial linear section of the stress-strain curve of a metal or alloy. Explain from the point of view of atomic structure?(a) No, the atomic level properties of the material can never be related to the linear section.(b) The elastic zone is influenced by the strength of the bonds between atoms.(c) The stronger the bond, the less rigid and the lower the Young's Modulus of the material tested.(d) The stronger the bond, the less stress is necessary to apply to the material to deform it elastically.arrow_forwardThe degree of polymerization of polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) is 7500 (mers/mol).
