Interpretation:
The elements present in glycine molecule and total number of atoms should be identified from the formula of glycine.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical formula: Two or more elements combine to from a chemical compound, symbol are combined to produce chemical formula which use subscript to identify how many number of atoms of each element are present in a given chemical compound. For example the formula
Chemical symbols: It is interesting in

- If one compound has the formula C5H10 and another has the formula C4H10, are the two compounds isomers? Explain.arrow_forwardThe much-abused drug cocaine is an alkaloid. Alkaloids are noted for their bitter taste, an indication of their basic properties. Cocaine, C17H21O4N, is soluble in water to the extent of 0.17g/100mL solution, and a saturated solution has a pH = 10.08. What is the value of Kb for cocaine?arrow_forwardIdentify the following features of this phospholipid, which is needed for the brain and nerve tissues: Is the phospholipid formed from glycerol or sphingosine? What is the fatty acid? What type of bond connects the fatty acid? What is the amino alcohol?arrow_forward
- How many optical isomers (stereoisomers) are possible for the above amino acid (aqueous form)? ((at pH = 7.0): (COO-)–CH(NH3+)–CH2–CH2–CH2–CH2–(NH3+) 25 = 32 optical isomers 24 = 16 optical isomers 23 = 8 optical isomers 22 = 4 optical isomers 21 = 2 optical isomersarrow_forwardHow many total atoms are in (NH4)3PO4arrow_forwardA complex lipid has the following structure: (a) To what group of complex lipids does this compound belong? (b) What are the components?arrow_forward

- Monosaccharides have the general molecular formula of (CH₂0)m, where m is the number carbons. (m=5 is a pentose, such as xylose & m=6 is a hexose such as glucose.) Starch is a polysaccharide of thousands of glucose monomers, linked by an oxygen (-0-) bridge. The general molecular formula for starch is usually taken as (C6H1005) when n is the degree of polymerization. When formed from glucose a water molecule is released for every step in the polymerization process; when hydrolyzed (de-polymerized) a water molecule is necessary. The de-polymerization reaction can be considered as: (C6H1005)n + α H₂O → B (C6H1206) Balance the stoichiometry, i.e., find expressions for a & ß (that may involve the degree of polymerization, n). If we start with 1 kg of starch & totally hydrolyze it to glucose then how much glucose do we get [in kg & kg.mole]? Do the calculations assuming that n=1,000. The fermentation of glucose to ethanol can be expressed in the figure on the right¹. How much ethanol can be…arrow_forwardIdentify the functional groups in the following molecules.
