(a)
Interpretation:
The explanation whether the raffinose is a reducing sugar should be determined.
Concept introduction:
A reducing sugar can be defined as any sugar which is capable of acting as a reducing agent. It contains a free
(b)
Interpretation:
The monosaccharides present in the raffinose should be determined.
Concept introduction:
A reducing sugar can be defined as any sugar which is capable of acting as a reducing agent. It contains a free ketone group or a free aldehyde group. The reducing sugars are monosaccharides, together with some disaccharides, polysaccharides, and oligosaccharides.
(c)
Interpretation:
The products of raffinose after treating it with β-galactosidase enzyme should be determined.
Concept introduction:
A reducing sugar can be defined as any sugar which is capable of acting as a reducing agent. It contains a free ketone group or a free aldehyde group. The reducing sugars are monosaccharides, together with some disaccharides, polysaccharides, and oligosaccharides.

- Select all that apply. What is true about the conformational aspects of coupling? O The proton gradient is involved in the release of bound ATP from the synthase as a result of conformational change. O The conformational states interconvert as a result of proton flux through the synthase. There are two sites for substrate on the synthase and two possible conformational states: open (0) and tight-binding (T). Dinitrophenol binds to and inhibits ATP synthase conformational changes, thus inhibiting ATP synthesis. The Fo portion of ATP synthase acts as a rotary motor.arrow_forwardLong explanations are not needed.
