You may be talking about the activated complex, which is a kind of unstable "molecule" that is a transition state between the products and the reactants in a reaction.

What does non polar molecule mean?

When a molecule is nonpolar it means there are no charges.


What is hydrophobic and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophobic?

Hydrophobic means that the molecule is repelled by water. You can tell if a molecule is hydrophobic by the way the atoms are arranged.


What is cellular enyzmes?

An intracellular enzyme is an enzyme that is inside a cell that must be activated by a specific molecule. Because it is inside the cell, an average signal molecule cannot go through and activate it. Intracellular enzymes are activated by a hydrophobic material such as steroid molecules which can go through the cell membrane and activate the intracellular enzyme.


What does it mean for a water molecule to be polar?

It means there is a positive side and a negative side to it. The 2 atoms of Hydrogen in a water molecule bond asymetrically to the oxygen atom. Like this O / \ H H Instead of this way H--O--H The molecule then has a more positive charge on the Hydrogen side of the molecule and a negative charge on the Oxygen side. ( When a molecule is polar, it means that the molecule has been given a charge. In water, H2O, Oxygen has a charge and so does hydrogen. However, because there is such a large difference in electronegativity between the Oxygen and the Hydrogens, then the distribution of electrons within the molecule becomes uneven. This causes one end of the molecule to contain a slightly postive charge and the other end to possess a slightly negavtive charge. ) Hope This WiLL HeLp u !! ))


Which one is smaller an amino acid molecule or a CO2 molecule?

A CO2 molecule is smaller. Amino acids have the general structure +H3N - Cα - COO- (with an R group and a H also attached to the middle (alpha) carbon). This means that amino acids are quite a bit larger than CO2 molecules.

What is activated glucose?

The prefix "activated" usually means condensation of a sugar molecule like glucose with a nucleotide. Examples are uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) for activation of glucose, galactose or N-acetylglucosamine, guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) for mannose or fucose and cytidine-5'-monophophate (CMP) for sialic acid. Activation of sugars helps in biochemical transfer of sugar molecules to certain structure, e. g. N-glycans.


What does it mean for a molecule to be transparent to radiation?

Is a polar molecule is a molecule with the ability to resists changes in temperature?

A polar molecule is a molecule with slight opposite charges. Water is a polar molecule which means that each water molecule is attracted to other water molecules which accounts for waters surface tension or cohesion.
