Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To identify whether gastrin is a hormone, a digestive enzyme or neither a hormone nor a digestive enzyme.
Concept introduction: Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate the biochemical reactions to produce the substances that are needed for cells for their proper functioning. The enzymes are very specific to their action.
Hormones are the chemical signals and these are produced by specialized cells. Hormones are secreted into the blood stream and carried to a target tissue where they signal the targeted tissue or organ to perform their specified function.
(b)
Interpretation: To identify whether trypsin is a hormone, a digestive enzyme or neither a hormone nor a digestive enzyme.

Hint: Let the π orbitals be equal to xf and yf, where f is a function that depends only on the distance from the internuclear axis.arrow_forward(a) Verify that the lattice energies of the alkali metal iodides are inversely proportional to the distances between the ions in MI (M = alkali metal) by plotting the lattice energies given below against the internuclear distances dMI. Is the correlation good? Would a better fit be obtained by plotting the lattice energies as a function of (1 — d*/d)/d, as theoretically suggested, with d* = 34.5 pm? You must use a standard graphing program to plot the graph. It generates an equation for the line and calculates a correlation coefficient. (b) From the graph obtained in (a), estimate the lattice energy of silver iodide. (c) Compare the results of (b) with the experimental value of 886 kJ/mol. If they do not agree, explain the deviation.arrow_forwardCan I please get help with #3 & 4? Thanks you so much!arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
