Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The different properties of an organic molecule not only depend upon the carbon skeleton’s arrangement, it also depends on the different chemical groups attached to the skeleton.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

The functional group that is not present in the given molecule is sulfhydryl group.

Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Sulfhydryl group is the functional group that comprises of a molecule of sulfur. Hence, the given structure does not have a sulfhydryl group.

Option (B) is given as “sulfhydryl”.

The “functional group that is not present in the given molecule is sulfhydryl group”, it is the right answer.

Hence, the option (B) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “carboxyl”.

The carboxyl functional group is present in the given molecule. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “hydroxyl”.

The hydroxyl functional group is present in the given molecule. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “amino”.

The amino group is present in the given molecule. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The functional groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino are present in the molecule, whereas the sulfhydryl group is absent in the given molecule.

Awnser these Discussion Questions Answer these discussion questions and submit them as part of your lab report. Part A: The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the temperature of the solution. How is the oxygen production in 30 seconds related to the rate of the reaction? At what temperature is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain. Why might the enzyme activity decrease at very high temperatures? Why might a high fever be dangerous to humans? What is the optimal temperature for enzymes in the human body? Part B: The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity Graph the volume of oxygen produced against the pH of the solution. At what pH is the rate of reaction the highest? Lowest? Explain.
