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
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
When comparing starch and cellulose, which carbohydrate would be more useful as a component of bacterial cell walls? Explain. Use the following terms as part of your answer: alpha-glucose, beta-glucose, carbons, 3D structure
If the glucose molecule was labeled with 14C at the C-3, which carbon atom in pyruvate would you expect to find labeled? Select the structure of pyruvate showing its appropriate structure at pH 7.4. The structure should have a carbon highlighted in green and bold that corresponds to the original 14C labeled C-3 of glucose. H3C-C-C-OH H3C-C-C -O H3C-C-c-OH H3C C-C- H3C-C-C- H3C-C HO-
