Which are true and which are false? and why is that the answer
a)The molecule CH3CH2CH2CH3 can participate in hydrophobic interactions.
b)Strong bonds are important in biochemistry because enzymes cannot break strong bonds
c)ATP hydrolysis can be coupled with non-spontaneous reactions to make them spontaneous
1)True . Because there are no Hydrophillic groups present in the given compound.
2) false. Enzymes can break strong bonds the most common enzyme is protease that breaks peptide bonds in protein.
3) false. Atp hydrolysis doesn't make a non spontaneous reaction to spontaneous reaction because it is the activation energy that makes reaction spontaneous. The hydrolysis of ATP itself is a spontaneous reaction but doesn't make other reactions spontaneous.
