Chapter 3.4, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The conclusions that may be drawn about the abundance of cellulose on earth.
Introduction: Polysaccharides are composed of monosaccharide sugars. These sugars are linked together by glycosidic bonds. Polysaccharides are of two types: branched and non-branched based on the linking of their monomers. There are different polysaccharide molecules present, for example, glycogen is a disaccharide molecule composed of long chains of glucose monomers. Cellulose is a polysaccharide of β-D- glucose. Cellulose is an unbranched polysaccharide molecule.

- Q3. Péclet number - We've seen the Péclet number Pé : vl as a useful metric to determine if stirring (Pé > 1) is more efficient than diffusion (Pé < 1) for mixing solutions. "Stirring" here can designate any process which applies a force on the molecules, resulting in a velocity v. a) Show that the Péclet number, like the Reynolds number, is unitless. Let's think about why scale (l) matters for mixing. A-DNA, a DNA polymer containing 48,502 base pairs, has a diffusion coefficient of D = field of 1 V/m, we can expect 1-DNA to reach a terminal velocity of 30 nm/s. 6.4 x 10-13m²s-1.

- Practice Performance Task: Cellulase PRACTICE PERFOR K Both humans and cows are able to consume plant matter made up of complex carbolydrates, such as starch or cellulose. However, a cow's digestive system is very different from that of a human. As a result, humans and cows differ in their ability to extract nutrients from plant-based food resources For example, unlike humans, vows can thrive on grass, which is largely made up of cellulose Cows are able to digest grass thanks to a complex community of microbes, inchading bacteria, in their digestive system. These bacteria prodoce cellulase, which starts the process of breaking down cellulose into smaller sobbunits of ghacose. Cows then acquire energy as the microbes in their digestive system utilize the glucose to carry out fermentation. A by-product of fermentation by bacteria is methane gas (CH,) 1.

Describe the relationship between water potential with solute potential and pressure potential in plants. Plant cell P has a solute potential of-350 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Besides, is plant cell Q which has a solute potential of -500 kPa and a pressure potential of 200 kPa. Determine the direction of net movement of water between the two cells by using the water potential equation. Explain the characteristics of water that make it such an important medium for life.
