The biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of cholesterol from squalene was developed with the aid of isotopic labeling experiments. which carbon atoms of cholesterol would you expect to be labeled when acetate enriched with (14c in its methyl group 14ch3cooh) is used as the carbon source? select the single best answer.

Frictional forces acting on an object are often converted into energy, which causes the temperature of the object to rise slightly.

Answer asap need by wednesday morning explain how a buffer works, using an ethanoic acid/sodium ethanoate system including how the system resists changes in ph upon addition of a small amount of base and upon addition of a small amount of acid respectively. include the following calculations in your i. calculate the ph of a solution made by mixing 25cm3 0.1m ch3cooh and 40cm3 0.1m ch3coo-na+. [ka = 1.74 x 10-5 m] ii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m naoh to 500cm3 of this buffer solution. iii. calculate the ph following the addition of a 10cm3 portion of 0.08 m hcl to 200cm3 of the original buffer solution.
