Question

Accepted Answer

Welcome back. Let's look at our next question blank is required for the synthesis of my rock scene. Whereas blank is required for the synthesis of hemoglobin. I think most of us are gonna have an easier time recalling hemoglobin that's kind of the more well known molecule there. So we'll start with hemoglobin. I wanna test. I'd definitely start with the one that's easier to remember. Uh hemoglobin has four subunits of him or with team groups each of those carrying and iron adam. So iron is required for the synthesis of hemoglobin. So let's look at our answer choices and see if we can rule anything out or come to an answer. We see Choice B. Has iron as a second choice and choice C. As iron is a second choice. So it must be one of those. We can eliminate choice A. And choice in D. So let's look at our other thing. We've got a rock scene. Now if um if you couldn't recall exactly what the rock scene was um you can think thyroid, you've got that thigh beginning of it. And a lot of people remember that the thyroid is connected with iodine. Um So that's one way you could help remember if we want to be really thorough. Um I Rock scene, its full name is actually Tetra I. Oto bye Rainin, write it here and you can see by that i Oto portion that it contains iodine. So the answer for the first blank here is iodine required for the synthesis of the rock scene. So we see that's our first word in choice B. So Choice B is our correct answer. iodine and iron um Choice C gets eliminated since it doesn't have iodine as a first choice. In fact it is phosphorus. There's no phosphorus in either of those molecules. Same with enjoys D, which lists chlorine is the first choice. There's no chlorine in either of those molecules either. So we have there we have a choice be iodine is required for the synthesis of the rock scene, whereas iron is required for the synthesis of hemoglobin in the next video.
