Question
In a non-biological system, given the equation CO2 + H2O ⇌ H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3- + H+ , what would happen to the amount of CO2 if HCO3- was taken away or removed in some way? (Hint: In chemistry, the concept is known as Le Chatlier's Principle)
The amount of CO2 will increase to compensate for the lost HCO3-
The amount of CO2 will decrease to compensate for the lost HCO3- The amount of CO2 will stay the same

- ( Please type answer note write by hend )arrow_forwardGlucose is a six-carbon compound. How many molecules of carbon dioxide will be released in a complete breakdown of a molecule of glucose?arrow_forwardThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 2.4 kilograms of CO2 are released when 1 liter of gasoline is burned (20 pounds of CO2 are released when 1gallon is burned). Use this information to determine the number of metric tons of CO2 emitted annually by (a) the car described in Question 1 with a low fuel efficiency, (b) a fleet of 250 million vehicles with this same fuel efficiency, (c) the car described in Question 2 with a high fuel efficiency, and (d) a fleet of 250 million vehicles with this same high fuel efficiency. These calculations provide a rough estimate ofthe CO2 footprints for individual cars and for the entire U.S. fleet with low and high efficiency cars. (Note: 1 kilogram= 2.20 pounds; 1 metric ton = 1,000 kilo grams = 2,200 pounds = 1.1 tons; 1 ton [H11005] 2,000 pounds).arrow_forward
- For the reaction B A at standard conditions with [B] =1 M and [A] =1 M, AG is initially a large negative number. As the reaction proceeds, [B] decreases and [A] increases until the system reaches equilibrium. How do the values of AG and AG" change as the reaction moves toward equilibrium? both AG and AG stay the same O AG reaches zero and AG" becomes more negative AG becomes less negative and AG" stays the same AG stays the same and AG becomes less negative AG becomes positive and AG" becomes positivearrow_forwardFor each of the following pairs of molecules, indicate which member of the pair is reduced and which is oxidized, and which has more chemical energy and which has less chemical energy: NAD1/NADH; FAD/FADH2;CO2/C6H12O6.arrow_forwardSome cool enzyme (CE) catalyzes the conversion of compound F to compound A. Which of the following must be true of CE? Choice 1 of 4: CE can facilitate conversion of compound A into compound F. Choice 2 of 4: CE binds more tightly to the substrate F than to the product A. Choice 3 of 4: CE decreases the energy of the transition state between compounds F and A. Choice 4 of 4: CE facilitates net conversion of F to A whenever F is present.arrow_forward

- Camels survive in the desert because they derive water from the large deposit of triglyceridesstored in their humps. How many net moles of water and ATP can be produced from the breakdown ofone mole of the triglyceride, tripalmitoylglycerol, to glycerol and CO2 ?

ASuniverse AS system + AS surroundings > 0 When phospholipids are dispersed in an aqueous solution, they will often form more ordered structures in the form of micelles, liposomes, or lipid bilayers. This behavior seemingly contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. Why is this behavior in agreement with the second law of thermodynamics?

B) OA molecule moving down its concentration gradient (i.e., high to low concentration) C) O The reduction of carbon dioxide to form glucose (i.e., 6 CO2 + 6 H2O to form C6H1206+ 6 02).
