I do not want this problem solved out, I would like an explanation because I genuinely would like to learn. What does it being a reducing sugar tell us about the molecule? What does it forming only one D-glucose tells us about the molecule? What if it formed two glucoses? And what does it mean that it can be hydrolyzed with aqueous acid?
Two different membrane components are shown in the figure below. HO B A CH3 choline head group C glycerol backbone H3C D hydrocarbon tail CH3 CH3 CH3 B- C- D CH₂ 0 CH3 O CH3 C=O C=O CH-CH₂ What are the molecular modules indicated by the letters A-D? Select from the two options provided for each module. Asterol polar head group CH₂ CH₂ O CH3
Please help answer the question on natural polymers polysaccharides 1) compare and contrast the structure and function of startch and glycogen proteins 1) sketch the two amino acids. Contrast the polarity of the side chains Dna 1) what are the predominant groups in dna 2) the covalent linkage between nucleotides is called a phosphodiester bond. Sketch the linkage
Describe the basic structure of a plant cell wall. Describe the structure of cellulose and the function of cellulose in the plant cell wall. Describe the general outline of cellulose decomposition.
The following molecules are lipids. Indicate to which lipid group each belongs.
Casein is a protein found in milk. The role of casein in milk is to be a source of amino acids. Casein is therefore a amino acid storage molecule. Which carbohydrate molecule has an analogous role to that of casein? cellulose glycosylphosphatidyl inositol hyaluronic acid glycogern
Which of the following is incorrect about starch? O a. Its branched form (amylopectin) has alpha (1,6) glycosidic bonds at the branching points O b. Its unbranched form (amylose) has only alpha (1,4) glycosidic bonds O c. It is made of glucose Od. It provides structural support to plants day
When bonding 1 glycerol molecule, with 3 fatty acid molecules, you can build a tryglceride. In addition to the tryglyceride, can you make any other molecules in the bonding process?
Although the first two carbons of fructose and glucose are identical in structure to DHAP and GADP (from glycolysis), DHAP and GADP equilibriate on their in solution to favor the ketone over the aldehyde, while fructose and glucose do not. Why? a)The larger size of the molecule sterically hinders the isomerization b)The larger sugars have more OH groups which hydrogen bond and disrupt isomerization c)The larger sugars cyclize, and there is no carbonyl to isomerize in the cyclic form d)The larger sugars cyclize, and in the cyclic form the hydrogen bonding is very strong e)The larger sugars are less soluble in water than the smaller sugars
Draw a lipid exhibiting both an ether-linked and ester-linked acyl group attached to a glycerol phosphate backbone. Then attached an appropriate head group to the phosphate (ethanolamine, choline, serine, etc.)
Which of the following is NOT correctly paired? cellulose: beta-1,4-glycosidic linkage amylose: alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage chitosan: alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage cellubiose: beta-1,4-glycosidic linkage Which is NOT correctly paired?Immersive Reader fibrous protein: spherical alpha helix protein: right-handed coil beta pleated sheet: fully extended peptide chain globular protein: soluble in water
