    Well ion is a particle with positive charge (usually an atom that lose or get some electrons). In metals there are free electrons and the atom are in Bravais lattice. But I think that if we somehow get the Mg atoms they will group. For example it happens in electrolysis of NaOH.

    Magnesium ions would need two electrons each to become magnesium metal.  Wouldn't it be easier just to buy magnesium metal?

  2. That is hydrolysis of a protein into amino acids, and it is a pretty sluggish reaction.  Typically it is performed at 110 °C in constant boiling HCl for 24 hours on a protein to effect complete hydrolysis.  I would assume that "dilute" hydrochloric means 1 M, but I am not sure.

  3. When I see the word stimulate, I would not necessarily associate it with either method of regulation that you outline; in other words, I would in general be open to the possibility that either or both might be occurring.  In this specific we would need to identify which protein phosphatase this was, in order to answer the question.  I believe that protein phosphatase 2A is the enzyme in this case and that xylulose 5-phosphate plays a role in its regulation.  I would also like to mention GL protein, which is known to be able to complex to protein phosphatase-1.

  4. I would define a fermentation as any anaerobic catabolism of a carbohydrate, but my definition may not be universal.  A pathway that included glycolysis plus something to regenerate the NAD and bring pyruvate back to the same oxidation level as glucose would qualify as a fermentation in my mind.  I can think of two commonly encountered examples.

  5. People more experienced in IR should probably guide you, but (going on memory here) the peaks in the range 1450-1600 are suggestive of an aromatic ring, and it might be possible to tease out some information regarding the substitution pattern.  I am not sure about the nitro group.
