Chapter 6: Q. 2 (page 175)

Figure 6.10 If no activation energy were required to break down sucrose (table sugar), would you be able to store it in a sugar bowl?

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, Sucrose can not be stored it in a sugar bowl.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Introduction 

Activation energy is the base energy that is expected to start a compound response. The atoms participating in the response should crash into sufficient energy to break the bonds and structure new ones between the particles. The response won't occur without sufficient energy.

02

Explanation

Sucrose can't be put away in a sugar bowl even without activation energy. This is a result of the presence of the compound energy present in the obligations of sucrose particles. The sucrose atoms can respond with the environmental elements (air, dampness) which will actuate the compound energy bringing about the development of hotness. Consequently, we should defeat this obstruction of synthetic energy to store sucrose.

Most popular questions from this chapter

An allosteric inhibitor does which of the following?

  1. Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, increasing its affinity for substrate binding.
  2. Binds to the active site and blocks it from binding substrate.
  3. Binds to an enzyme away from the active site and changes the conformation of the active site, decreasing its affinity for the substrate.
  4. Binds directly to the active site and mimics the substrate.

Which of the following is not true about enzymes:

  1. They increase of ΔGreactions
  2. They are usually made of amino acids.
  3. They lower the activation energy of chemical reactions.
  4. Each one is specific to the particular substrate(s) to which it binds.

Explain in your own words how enzyme feedback inhibition benefits a cell.

Which of the following molecules is likely to have the most potential energy?

  1. sucrose
  2. ATP
  3. glucose
  4. ADP
