Link reaction The link reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix and its main function is to turn the pyruvate into acetate for the kerb cycle. During the link reaction the pyruvate molecule undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation‚ the enzymes pyruvate decarboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase remove the carboxyl group (which becomes a carbon dioxide molecule) and removes the hydrogen atoms from the pyruvate molecule. The coenzyme NAD accepts the two hydrogen atoms and becomes reduced

the value of the sum for Reaction 1 and Reaction 2’s change in temperature‚ compared to Reaction 3’s change in temperature. Reaction 1 was the dissolution of solid sodium hydroxide in water with a ΔH°rxn of -47047 J/mol‚ Reaction 2 was the neutralization of liquid sodium hydroxide with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -31289 J/mol and Reaction 3 was the dissolution and neutralization of solid NaOH with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -91000 J/mol. Consequently‚ the sum of Reaction 1 and Reaction 2 was -78336 J/mol‚ similar

affecting the rate of reaction‚ PNPP (p-nitrophenyl phosphate) + H20 ? PNP (p-nitrophenol) + H3P04. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatase. Different environments produced different reaction rates as environmental factors affect the efficiency of phosphatase. This is because environmental factors can change the tertiary structure of phosphatase‚ which alters its active site‚ and thus changes its efficiency to catalyze the reaction. We measured the rate of reaction‚ by using a chromogenic

observe how the change in solvent polarity affects the rate and to determine the kinetics of a solvolysis reaction. In this experiment‚ we used 1-chloro-1-phenylethane in acetone in one reaction with 50% ethanol-50% water and in another reaction with 40% ethanol-60% water. To monitor he rate of reaction‚ we would need the concentration of the alkyl chloride at the beginning of the reaction and at a time t‚ but since we did not determine the concentrations‚ we monitored the rate of formation of

A. Introduction Title: The effect of reading Shakespeare on reaction time Research Question: Does reading a passage of Shakespeare decrease a person’s reaction time while completing a puzzle? One day in class‚ I was reading an interesting article about how people who read and are exposed to Shakespeare and Wordsworth and other renowned writers have better brain activity‚ attention spans‚ and can have more moments of beneficial self-reflection. In the article‚ scientists and psychologists at Liverpool
