The metabolic nucleotide that matches with the description “the high-energy form of coenzyme A”.
Introduction:
Nucleotides are the building blocks of the nucleic acids such as deoxy ribonucleic acid (DNA), and ribonucleic acid (RNA). These nucleotides have significant metabolic functions in cells, therefore, called as “metabolic nucleotides”. They act as energy exchanger and can also be coenzymes. Metabolic nucleotides have two forms: a high energy form and a low energy form.
c.
To match:
The metabolic nucleotide that matches with the description “the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide”

- 0 What are the structural differences between vitamin C and sugars? Do these structural differences play a role in the susceptibility of this vitamin to air oxidation?arrow_forward8arrow_forwardWhen the reaction below reaches equilibrium, does the equilibrium lie on the left or the right side? Briefly explain. ClO– + CH3CO2H ⇌ HClO + CH3CO2– When the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the adenosine triphosphate molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate, ATP + H2O ––> ADP + Pi, where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution. If the total concentration of Pi is 2.5 x 10–2M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4? Permanganate, MnO4–, can act as an oxidizing agent in both acidic and basic aqueous solutions. Balance each of the following reactions by the half–reaction method, showing all steps in the balancing process. MnO4– + Al ––> MnO2 + Al(OH)4– in aqueous base MnO4– + CH3COOH ––> Mn+2 + CO2 in aqueous acidarrow_forward

Hydrogen bonds b. lon-dipole interactions c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B with water molecule.arrow_forwardRoutine examination of the urine of an asymptomatic pediatric patient showed a positive reaction with Clinitest (a copper reduction method of detecting reducing sugars) but a negative reaction with the glucose oxidase test for detecting glucose. Using these data, show on the chart below which of the sugars could (YES) or could not (NO) be present in the urine of this individual. Sugar Fructose Galactose Lactose Glucose Sucrose Xylulose Yes No.arrow_forwardFind the Missing Blank NAD+ + ____ + ____→ NADH + H+arrow_forward

Which of the following explain(s) why fructose gives a positive result to the Tollen's test? Fructose isomerizes to glucose in aqueous ammonia. Fructose is reduced to mannitol. Fructose decomposes into an aldehyde under basic conditions. Ag+ ions oxidize ketones to carboxylic acids.arrow_forwardPh3P C4H9LI Br an intermediatearrow_forward

Eukaryotic cells have more intracellular organelles than prokaryotes. C. Prokaryotes are not able to carry out aerobic respiration, relying instead on anaerobic metabolism. D. Prokaryotes are generally larger than eukaryotes.arrow_forward8 How is it possible that cows can digest grass but humans cannot?arrow_forwardCholesterol, in spite of its bad reputation, is an essential component of: a.microtubules. b.the cell membrane. c.ribosomes. d.cytosol.arrow_forward
