FOOD MACROMOLECULES INTRODUCTION

Biological Macromolecules
Most common elements in living things are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. These four elements constitute about 95% of your body weight. All compounds can be classified in two broad categories ---organic and inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are all based on carbon. Carbon can form single bonds with another atom and also bond to other carbon molecules forming double and triple bonds. This allows carbon based molecules to form single and double rings, chains, and branching chains. Most organic compounds are built primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios. Each small organic molecule can be a unit of a large organic molecule called a macromolecule. If the small organic units are identical or form patterns they are called monomers and the large organic molecule they form is called a polymer.
When monomers are joined together the reaction is called dehydration synthesis or condensation as water is produced when the monomers are bonded together. To break the polymers down again the reaction is called hydrolysis. Notice how water is used or produced in these two reactions shown to the right.
There are four classes of macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Heterotrophs, like us, must get these biological macromolecules from our food which we break down into monomers through digestion. This makes the molecules small enough to cross cell membranes. Our cells use them either as energy sources or to build the carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that our body needs

What is the kinetic energy of a 5 kg object moving at 7 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

122.5 Joule, or 122.5 j

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the object (m) = 5 kg

velocity of the object (v) = 7 m/s

Kinetic energy = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × m × v²

Applying the formula:

Kinetic energy = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 5 × 7²

⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 5 × 7 × 7

⇒ [tex]\frac{245}{2}[/tex]

122.5 Joule, or 122.5 j

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object gains as the result of the motion.  It also depends on the mass of the object and force with which the motion is applied.  In the given question, the mass of the object is 5 kg and the force of the velocity by which it is moving is 7 m/s.

Zinc metal reacts with hydrogen chloride to form zinc chloride and hydrogen gas

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The metal zinc readily reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas (H2) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2). Every chemical reaction either produces or absorbs heat. In chemistry this effect is described as the reaction enthalpy. The zinc reaction produces the heat and hence has the negative enthalpy.

1. How many moles of NaCl would be contained in .750 L solution with a molarity of
0.45M?

Answers

Formula of Molarity =

Molarity = no. of moles /volume of solution in L

Given, 0.45M= no. of moles/0.750L
Therefore, no. of moles = 0.45M x 0.750L= 0.3375

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.3375 \ mol \ NaCl}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Molarity is found by dividing the moles of solute by liters of solution.

[tex]M=\frac{moles \ of \ solute }{liters \ of \ solution}[/tex]

We know the molarity is 0.45 M and there are 0.750 liters of solution. The solute is NaCl (sodium chloride). We can substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]0.45 \ M = \frac{ moles \ of \ NaCl}{ 0.750 \ L }[/tex]

The molarity (M) can also be represented by mol/L

[tex]0.45 \ mol/L = \frac{ moles \ of \ NaCl}{ 0.750 \ L }[/tex]

We are solving for the moles of solute, so we must isolate the numerator. It is being divided by 0.750 liters. The inverse operation is multiplication, so multiply both sides of the equation by 0.750 L.

[tex]0.750 \ L * 0.45 \ mol/L = \frac{ moles \ of \ NaCl}{ 0.750 \ L }*0.750 \ L[/tex]

The liters will cancel out.

[tex]0.750 * 0.45 \ mol = { moles \ of \ NaCl}[/tex]

[tex]0.3375 \ mol \ = moles \ of NaCl[/tex]

There are 0.3375 moles of NaCl in a 0.750 liter solution with a molarity of 0.45 M.

Ude was asked by his teacher to draw an angle that measures 130 degrees. He isn't even sure where to start. Explain to Jude how you would use a protractor to draw this angle.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

To construct an angle of 130 degrees;

The first thing to do is to bisect a given line segment.

Let's say we measure an even straight line A to B. Line A to B is assumed to be 10 cm. Then, we will choose any convenient radius and draw an arc at A and B.

Then, we proceed by draw arcs to cut each other at P and Q. Join |PQ| to cut |AB| at R. R is the midpoint of |AB|.

After, we bisect a given line segment where point R which is half of line AB.

Using the R to B side;

Then, we place our protractor at R; Starting from zero degrees with the horizontal line (parallel to side B) . we mark out angle 130°  after we have counted all the way from 0°  to 130°. At 130°, we mark out the point (X) on the paper and draw the extended line till it joins at R.

The angle from B to X is angle 130°

Answers

Answer: 4.91 kJ

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

[tex]Q=m\times c_l\times (T_(f,l)-T_(i,l))+m\imes L+m\times c_v\times T_(f,v)-T_(i,v)[/tex]

Q = Heat absorbed = ?

m= mass of mercury = 48.5 g  = 0.0485 kg

c = specific heat capacity = [tex]0.14kJ/kgK[/tex]

L = heat of vaporization = 59.2 kJ

Initial temperature of liquid mercury = [tex]T_i[/tex] = 400 K

Final temperature of mercury vapor = [tex]T_f[/tex]  = 700 K

Putting in the values, we get:

Does this model demonstrate the conversation of matter?how do you know?

Answers

Answer:

No, the model does not demonstrate the conservation of matter

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed but is transformed from one form to another.

If we look at the model presented, the products on the right hand side and the reactants on the left hand side, we will notice that there is a loss of matter from left to right.

As a result of this, the model does not show the principle of conservation of matter.

Answers

Magnetic I do believe

If Veronica spins in a circle with the compass in her hand, then the force which keeps the compass' needle pointing north is magnetic field.

What is magnetic force?

The magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. In a magnetic field, a moving charge receives a force that is perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field.

The magnetic field is defined as a region where the force is active along imaginary lines. This force has an effect on all magnetized objects from the south magnetic pole to the north magnetic pole, including the needle of a compass. The needle always points north magnetic pole under the influence of the Geomagnetic field.

Hence the required force is a magnetic force.

Sulphur and Magnesium are separately burnt in air. Name the products formed. When these products are dissolved in water and the solutions obtained are tested with litmus, what will be the result? Why?

Answers

Answer: Magnesium turns red litmus blue and sulphur turns blue litmus red.

Explanation:

When a metal reacts with oxygen present in air, it forms basic oxide which simply means when they react with water, they form basic solution.

The chemical equation for the burning of magnesium (metal) in air and reaction with water of the product so formed are as follows:

[tex]2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO[/tex]

[tex]MgO+H_2O\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2\text{ (base)}[/tex]

When a non- metal reacts with oxygen present in air, it forms acidic oxide which simply means when they react with water, they form acidic solution.

The chemical equation for the burning of sulphur (non-metal) in air and reaction with water of the product so formed are as follows:

[tex]S+O_2\rightarrow SO_2[/tex]

[tex]SO_2+H_2O\rightarrow H_2SO_3\text{ (acid)}[/tex]

There are 2 types of litmus:

Red litmus: They turn the solution blue when dipped in basic solution.Blue litmus: They turn the solution red when dipped in acidic solution.

Therefore, here, magnesium forms a basic solution, therefore it will turn red litmus blue whereas sulphur forms an acidic solution, so it will turn blue litmus red.

Answer: 2. with two symmetrical shells - mirror images of each other.

the term "crinoid" means: 6. phylum where starfish and sea urchins belong

4. lived inside their shells: 1. exoskeletons are made up of this material

7. multicellular organisms that often live in colonies:  8. individuality of coral is called

Explanation:

Crinoid is a term that can be used to describe the radial symmetry of animals that have oral (side of mouth) and aboral surfaces (opposite to the mouth). It is characterized by the mouth at the top surface and surrounded by the arms for feeding it. This is a characteristic feature of animals like star fish and sea urchins and echinoderm animals.

The exoskeleton is a protective shell which protect the animal from the external environment like water, sunlight and predation.

The multicellular organisms that live in the colonies they form coral reef and individually the are called the coral polyp.

What mass of nitrogen monoxide is formed in the reaction of 869kg ammonia and 2480kg oxygen gas? (Please show work)

Answers

Answer:

1533.6 kg NO

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

First we convert the masses of ammonia (NH₃) and oxygen gas (O₂) into moles, using their respective molar masses:

NH₃ ⇒ 869 kg ÷ 17 kg/kmol = 51.12 kmol NH₃O₂ ⇒ 2480 kg ÷ 32 kg/kmol = 77.5 kmol O₂

77.5 kmol of O₂ would react completely with (77.5 kmol O₂ * [tex]\frac{4kmolNH_3}{5kmolO_2}[/tex]) 62 kmol of NH₃. There are not as many kmol of NH₃, so NH₃ is the limiting reactant.

Now we calculate how many kmol of NO are produced, using the limiting reactant moles:

51.12 kmol NH₃ * [tex]\frac{4kmolNO}{4kmolNH_3}[/tex] = 51.12 kmol NO

Finally we convert kmol of NO to mass, using its molar mass:

51.12 kmol NO * 30 kg/kmol = 1533.6 kg NO

If the caterpillar keeps moving at the same speed, how long will it take to travel 6cm?

Answers

It will take 15 s to travel 6 cm

Further explanation

Given

distance versus time graph

Required

time travel

Solution

Caterpillar motion is a straight motion with a constant speed, so that the graph between distance and time forms a diagonal line

If we look at the graph, we can determine the time taken when the distance reaches 6 cm (y axis) by drawing a line to the diagonal line and cutting the x-axis as time, and we get 15 s

Or we can also use the formula for motion at constant speed:

d = v x t

With v at point 2,5 of 2/5 m / s, so the time taken:

[tex]\tt t=\dfrac{d}{v}=\dfrac{6}{2/5}=15~s[/tex]
