2. In the first step of fatty acid oxidation, the fatty acid (R—COOH) is converted to its coenzyme A derivative in the following reaction:

R–COOH + ATP + CoA–SH → R–CO–S–CoA + AMP + PPi

The standard free-energy change (ΔG'°) for this reaction is –15 kJ/mol. What will tend to make the reaction even more favorable when it takes place within a cell?

Prior to the development of dna fingerprinting, blood type could be used to determine possible parentage. although it might prove someone was not a parent, it could not show if someone was positively the parent, only that he or she might be a parent. which of the following is a true statement that can be made about parentage based on blood typing?

Which best explains how a heat pump can heat a room? cold air from the house is moved through pipes, where it absorbs thermal energy. warm air from outside is pushed into the house to replace the cold air. combustion warms the air when chemical energy is transferred to thermal energy. fuel is used to move a piston, which pushes warm air into the house.

Isotopes of the same element have differ in their
