Chemical reactions obey a relationship between reaction ratek and activation energy ?G‡ that canbe written k =Qexp(-?G‡/RT) where Q is a constant characteristic of the reaction,R is the gas constant, 0.001986 kcal/(mol-deg), andT is the Kelvin temperature. The activation energy?G‡ for a particular uncatalyzedreaction is 15 kcal/mol and the overall […]
Sickle-cell anemia is caused by an abnormal hemoglobin molecule that changed the shape of red blood cells. This disease can lead to various health complications that are often lethal. However, heterozygous individuals have minor symptoms. Moreover, heterozygous individuals show an advantage with decreased vulnerability to Malaria. The allele for Sickle-cell […]
Q1. It is estimated that greater Atlanta area (where KSU is located) loses 50 acres of trees per day to development. If we assume that the cut trees are burned or mulched, how much CO2 will this free into the atmosphere in a year? Q2. Chlamydias and rekettsias were once […]
What is unusual about the way that H+ ions are transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane as compared to the movement of other ions like Na+ andCl- ions? A) Na+ andCl- ions must traverse the full distance, but H+ ions materialize on the other side of the membrane. B) Na+ […]
