Textbook Question
Chapter 10.8, Problem DQ
Why does nature use a reagent as complex as NAD+ to perform an oxidation?
- 1. Nature binds the oxidizing agent in an enzyme in proximity to the alcohol being oxidized.
- 2. Nature cannot use strong bases in an aqueous environment.
- 3. Nature cannot use toxic heavy metals.
- 4. All of the above are true.

What is the principle employed in the test for
glucose?
A. Reduction of glucose oxidizes another metabolite
that gives the color reaction.
B. Oxidation of hydroxyl groups to aldehyde changes
its property resulting in the absorption of light in the
visible range of wavelengths.
C. Oxidation of carbonyl carbons causes it to change
the wavelength at which the carbonyl compound
absorbs maximally.
D. Oxidation of glucose reduces the electron receiver
converting it to another compound responsible for the
color reaction.
E. Glucose has carbonyl carbons and hydroxyl groups
that react with specific reagents to give a colored
product.
