The image depicts a 3D molecular model of a glucose molecule.### Description:- **Atoms and Bonds**: - The model consists of various spheres connected by sticks, representing atoms and chemical bonds, respectively. - **Carbon Atoms**: Shown as grey spheres. - **Oxygen Atoms**: Displayed as red spheres. - **Hydrogen Atoms**: Represented by white spheres.### Structure:- **Hexagonal Ring**: - Composed of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom, forming a hexagonal shape which is characteristic of glucose. - **Attached Atoms**: - Hydrogen atoms are bonded to carbon atoms except where an oxygen atom is bonded. - An additional oxygen atom is bonded to one carbon atom outside the ring, indicating a hydroxyl group.This structural model helps in visualizing the arrangement of atoms within a glucose molecule, which is a vital monosaccharide in biological systems. Specify whether the configuration of the chirality center in the structure is **R** or **S**.*Other terms used for chirality center include chiral center, stereocenter, and stereogenic center.*### Diagram ExplanationThe image below the text is a 3D molecular structure represented in a ball-and-stick model. The model is interactive, allowing users to alter the view by selecting options from a dropdown menu.- **Ball-and-Stick Model**: - **Atoms** are represented by colored spheres (balls). - **Bonds** are represented by sticks connecting the balls. - **Color Coding**: - Different atoms are colored differently to facilitate identification. For example, a common scheme might involve carbon atoms in black or grey, hydrogen atoms in white, and oxygen atoms in red. In this particular model, an atom of interest, likely the one at the chirality center, is highlighted in red.- **Interactivity Options**: - **Dropdown Menu**: Users can choose different visual representations or add labels to the atoms for better clarity. Options like "ball & stick" view and adding labels are available for selection.This model helps in visualizing the spatial arrangement of the atoms, crucial for determining the R or S configuration at the chirality center.

1. If life arose by “chemical evolution” (which is supposed to be new chemical compounds arising by random chance), what should be the proportion of each of the L- and D-enantiomers present in chiral compounds produced by random chance? How does this match with what we see in living systems? What conclusion can you make from this about the likelihood of life arising by “chemical evolution?" 2. Why does chirality make a difference when new medications are developed? What is an ethical way of addressing this concern in the development process? What is the connection with the way the body is designed?
