(a)
Interpretation: To classify lysine as an essential amino acid or a nonessential amino acid.
Concept introduction: Amino acids are the main building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are classified as essential and non-essential depending upon whether they can be synthesized within the body itself or not.
Essential amino acids are those amino acids which cannot be synthesized by the body via biosynthesis and thus must be taken from the outside in form of dietary protein to meet the body’s need. Those amino acids which can be synthesized by biosynthesis within the liver are termed as non-essential amino acids.
The essential amino acids are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
The non-essential amino acids are alanine, asparagines, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.
(b)
Interpretation: To classify cysteine as an essential amino acid or a nonessential amino acid.

- The acid-base indicator HX undergoes the following reaction in a dilute aqueous solution: HX (color 1) H+ + X- (color 2). The following absorbance data were obtained for a 0.00035 M solution of HX in 0.1 M NaOH and 0.1 M HCI. Measurements were made at wavelengths of 450 nm and 620 nm using a 1.0 cm glass cuvette. 450 620 A(460 nm) A(630 nm) 0.1 M NaOH 0.1 M HCI 0.065 0.435 0.895 0.150 In the 0.1M NaOH solution, the indicator will be almost 100% in the X- form, while in 0.1M HCI, the indicator will be nearly 100% protonated (HX). Calculate the acid dissociation constant for the indicator if a pH=5 buffer solution containing a very small amount of indicator exhibits an absorbance of 0.567 at 450 nm and 0.395 at 620 nm (measured in a 1 cm glass cuvette).arrow_forwardShow work...give the name of the given compound.
