What happens when hydrogen iodide breaks down?
It produces Hydrogen and Iodine
A hydrogen bond can form between a hydrogen atom of one molecule and which atom of another molecule?
since hydrogen atom has no electron in its shell, it acquires positive charge. when a negatively charged atom comes in contact with hydrogen atom, it donates h atom a electron to make a covalent bond. but when it breaks the negative atom restores its electron.
When hydrogen peroxide is poured on a cut on a persons skin the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen gas what type of change is this?
This is a chemical reaction. A decomposition reaction.
What type of reaction does catalase do?
Catalase is an enzyme which breaks down hydrogen peroxide
Why can't hydrogen have more than 2 electrons in its valence shell?
If it had more than two electrons it would no longer be hydrogen.
What do DNA polymerase do in DNA replication?
It breaks the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs
What are the problems if hydrogen bonds between d nitrogen bases of DNA breaks?
you die.
What does helicase do in replication?
(Apex) It breaks apart the bases.
What is hydrogen peroxidase?
It is an enzyme that breaks down Hydrogen Peroxide.
What happens when hydrogen iodide breaks down?
It produces Hydrogen and Iodine
The weak chemical bonds importat in holding the DNA double helix together is the?
The two strands of DNA nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds between complimentary nitrogen bases. Adenine pairs with guanine and cytosine pairs with thymine. When it is time for a cell to reproduce, and during protein synthesis, an enzyme called helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the two strands. This way DNA can be replicated in preparation for cell reproduction or it can be used as a template for protein synthesis.
Why do abnormal elevated temperatures degrade proteins?
The heat breaks the hydrogen bonds between the amino acids, and the shape is changed.
When water is heated most of the energy that water initially absorbs is used to?
It breaks the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules
What protein cuts DNA?
It is DNA Helicase that breaks the Hydrogen Bonds, officially "cutting the DNA". Then DNA Polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to the split DNA molecules. Then DNA Ligase "scans" the DNA for any flaws in the sugar/Phosphate backbone.
How does the electron chain transfer light energy in photosynthesis?
Light breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen, the oxygen is then released. Next the hydrogen and its electron separate so that they are H+ and e-. The electrons are dragged across which creates massive energy.
What does waving lotion do in a perm?
It breaks the hydrogen and disulfide bonds (bonds in and between proteins chains of the hair) in order to get perfect perms.
Can an electric current break down a compound?
Yes. For instance, electrolysis breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen.
