Concept explainers
To determine:
The complete and balanced chemical equation for combustion of octanoic acid.
Introduction:
As per the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants that take part in the reaction is equal to the mass of product formed in the reaction. This means if one atom of an element takes part in the reaction, then the products also contain one atom of the same element, as mass of the atoms is always conserved in a
To determine:
The reactant which is oxidized and the one which is reduced.
Introduction:
A species in a given chemical reaction is said to be oxidized if it undergoes the addition of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen atom.
A species is said to be reduced if it loses oxygen.

- The primary use of ingested proteins in the body is to _____. be broken down into amino acids that are used to build proteins and nucleic acids within the body be broken down to release energy and the unused components are recycled to build new proteins within the body interact with signaling molecules to trigger the building of muscle fibers be converted to starches or sugars, which are more readily accessible forms of energyarrow_forwardRunning a mile in ten minutes burns between 100 and 120 calories for a 150-pound person. For the same run, a 200-pound person needs about 135-155 calories. In grams, how much ATP is required for this workout? ATP has a molecular mass of 507 g/mol. ATP's g-phosphate group hydrolysis has a free energy of -32 kJ/mol. One calorie is equal to 1000 calories, and one calorie is equal to 4.184 kilojoules (kJ). How much glucose do you need to fuel this run, both aerobically and anaerobically? Assume that one glucose molecule yields 30 ATP when processed aerobically. Molality of glucose is 180g/mol.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of reduction reaction? It is the removal of electrons from an atom or molecule. They are also referred to as dehydrogenation reactions An example of which is the conversion of Pyruvic acid to Lactic acid There is a decrease in the potential energy of the atom or molecule Which cells in the body convert most of the remaining fructose and practically all of the galactose to glucose? Sertoli cells Erythrocytes Parietal cells Hepatocytes Which of the following substances can be considered as metabolic intermediates?* Water ATP Pyruvic acid Glucosearrow_forward

- How many grams of proteins provide the same fuel value as 25 g fat?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true of the calorific value of fats compared with that of carbohydrates? a. The burning of both fats and carbohydrates produces about 4 kcal/g of energy. b. The burning of both fats and carbohydrates produces about 9 kcal/g of energy. c. The burning of carbohydrates produces about 4 kcal/g, and the burning of fats produces about 9 kcal/g of energy. d. The burning of carbohydrates produces about 9 kcal/g, and the burning of fats produces about 4 kcal/g of energy.arrow_forwardAnimal fats and vegetable oils become rancid when exposed to air because a. they are hydrogenated to form saturated fatty acids. b. they form amino acids in air. c. they are partially hydrogenated. d. carbon-carbon double bonds are oxidized in air, producing small organic molecules.arrow_forward
- How many electrons are transferred during the oxidation of ethanol (C2H5OH) to carbon dioxide (CO2)?arrow_forwardIf a chocolate cake has 24g of carbohydrates, 11g of fat, and 10.5g of protein, which class of organic material contributes the most amounts of calories to the chocolate cake?arrow_forward(1) Slick Johnny burns 1.2 Kcal/min when he's completely chilled and fasted. He lives on moonshine whiskey which is about 40% ethanol (assume a g is about an ml). Assuming there isn't much else of nutritional value, how much would he have to drink to maintain his body weight. 0.62 L 0.82 L 0.93 L 1.44 L (2) Assuming ethanol (C2H6O) is completely burned to CO2 and H2O, what would Slick Johnny's RQ be? 0.67 0.74 0.86 0.96arrow_forward
