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

DHA is a fatty acid derived from fish oil and an abundant fatty acid invertebrate brains. Hydrogenation of DHA forms docosanoic acid[CH3(CH2)20CO2H], and ozonolysis forms CH3CH2CHO, CH2(CHO)2 (fiveequivalents), and HCOCH2CH2CO2H. What is the structure of DHA if all double bonds have the Z configuration?

The figure below illustrates the molecular structures of two fatty acids. A B H₂C The structural formula of erucic acid and behenic acid с H₂C D erucic acid behenic acid Which of the following best explains why erucic acid is liquid at room temperature but behenic acid is solid at room temperature? O OH The presence of a double carbon to carbon bond in erucic acid prevents the molecule from packing closely together. The lack of any double carbon-carbon bonds in behenic acid causes the molecule to be come polar and therefore packed more tightly. The larger number of carbon atoms in erucic acid prevents the molecule from packing tightly together. OH The smaller number of carbon atoms in behenic acid creates stronger covalent bonds between the carbon atoms allowing for them to pack more tightly together.
