![79. Assertion [A]: The difference in the respective melting points of butter and coconut oil is caused by the degree of saturation of the corresponding fatty acid chain. Reason [R]: Unsaturated fatty acid chains become solid more easily because they are relatively straight and pack together more closely than saturated chains.](https://www.letstalkacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1782482036919-28d3b66b-2845-4f57-a8dd-cdc4734ea5c7_79.jpg)








![70. The pH of gastric juice in the stomach is 2.0. However the pH inside the cells that line the stomach is 7.0. For transport of protons from inside the cell to the stomach, the free energy change (∆G) in kJmol–1at 37oC is [Assume Universal Gas constant R = 8.314 Jmol–1K–1]](https://www.letstalkacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1782482036919-28d3b66b-2845-4f57-a8dd-cdc4734ea5c7_70.jpg)












![57. Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion [a] and Reason [r]. Assertion: In the process of ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthase is not a part of electron transport chain on inner mitochondrial membrane. Reason: ATP synthase is coupled to electron transport chain through proton motive force. (A) [a] and [r] are true and [r] is the correct reason for [a] (B) [a] and [r] are true but [r] is not the correct reason for [a] (C) both [a] and [r] are false (D) [a] is false but [r] is true](https://www.letstalkacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1782482036919-28d3b66b-2845-4f57-a8dd-cdc4734ea5c7_57.jpg)

![55. The standard oxidation potentials for oxidation of NADH and H20 are + 0.315 V and -0.815 V, respectively. The standard free energy for oxidation of I mole of NADH by oxygen under standard conditions (correct to l decimal place) is kJ.
