What is the function of Intermediate filament?
Intermediate Filaments (IFs) are part of a cells cytoskeleton along with Microfilaments and Microtubules. Intermediate Filaments are intermediate in size compared to MFs and MTs. They are also more durable and stable than the others. They are mainly used in cellular adhesion and other specialized functions in cells.
What cytoskeletal element are most stable?
Microtubules.
In the C4 pathway the first stable intermediate is?
oxaloacetate.
Is it possible for all reactions which have a carbocation intermediate to undergo rearrangement reaction to get a more stable cation?
No, in general
Why does the electrophile attack at the third position in a pyridine?
when an electrophile attacks 2nd position in pyridine the +ve charge goes on the electronegative nitrogen atom and destabilizes the intermediate ,in case of 3rd position attack the +ve charge goes on the ring which is more stable than the intermediate formed during the 2nd position attack

Which elements of the cytoskeleton help maintain the shape of the cells move organelles?
Tubulin
What cytoskeletal element are most stable?
Microtubules.
What is the first stable intermediate of the C4 pathway?
malate
In the C4 pathway the first stable intermediate is?
oxaloacetate.
What would most likely determine the shapes of different types cells-?
The cytoskeleton, particularly actin and the more stable intermediate filaments, are what mainly determines the shape of the cell, along with hydrostatic pressure from the water-containing cytoplasm.
Is it possible for all reactions which have a carbocation intermediate to undergo rearrangement reaction to get a more stable cation?
No, in general
In animal cells taxol an anti-cancer drug binds to microtubules and accelerates their assembly stopping mitosis so what in the cell cycle does taxol affect?
Taxol binds to ß-tubulin to promote microtubule assembly and it stabilises the microtubules and messes up the equilibrium between tubulin and microtubule. A cell with stable microtubules proceeds to programmed cell death without dividing. Nathalie Narraidoo University of Nottingham
What is the chemical name for CCl2F2?
CCl2 does exist as a reactive intermediate (but fleetingly and not stable) and is known as Dichlorocarbene. It is available in singlet and triplet format. However, CCl4 is stable and is known as tetrachloromethane or carbon tetrochloride.
Is HO compound is covalent?
All bonds between O and H are covalent. OH is not a stable chemical compound it is the hydroxyl radical with one unpaired electron and is a reaction intermediate, OH- is the hydroxide ion, this is stable and ccurs with balancing cations.
Why hydrogen is standard in electrochemical series?
Because its reactivity is intermediate between many metals, and it is stable in both the ionic form and molecular form , so it can accept as well as can donate the electrons.
What is the difference between transition state and intermediate?
A transition state isn't actually a reaction-formed compound or a stable form in any way. It is simply the description of the breaking and forming of bonds via attacking and accepting sites on the reactants. An intermediate indeed is a compound formed by a reaction step, though it is highly reactive and will quickly progress to a more stable form. Because of their instability, intermediates are very tough to isolate, despite being an identifiable compound.
