(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 ketone group or a free aldehyde group. The reducing sugars are monosaccharides, together with some disaccharides, polysaccharides, and oligosaccharides.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
