Answer to Problem 1P
“Carbohydrates” term was initially used to represent the hydrates of carbon.
Explanation of Solution
Carbohydrates are also known as saccharides. These are the molecular compounds that are made of three elements that are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. They are commonly known as sugars.
“Carbohydrates” term was initially observed as the hydrates of carbon. It is because the empirical formula of most of these compounds is (CH2O)n.

Biochemistry
- Background Freezing isn't the only challenge in cryopreservation - thawing can be just as difficult. A microwave oven seems like a nice solution, since it deposits energy quickly and microwaves are non-ionizing radiation (they do not cause DNA mutation). However, water absorbs microwaves more effectively than ice does, meaning that the portion of an organ that has already melted will get warmer at a higher rate than the remaining ice – the opposite of what we want! - The transmission of radiation through a weakly absorbing material such as ice or water can be modeled by Beer's law, which assumes that the rate of absorption at a depth x is proportional to the local radiation intensity I(x) times an absorption coefficient, which is often written as μ or a or just µ). Noting that absorption decreases the intensity, we can write a differential equation a Solving the differential equation with the boundary condition on the surface being gives the relationship For a standard microwave oven…arrow_forward3. Dry air is inhaled at a rate of 10 liter/min through a trachea with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 125 mm. The inner surface of the trachea is at a normal body temperature of 37°C and may be assumed to be saturated with water. a. Assuming steady, fully developed flow in the trachea, estimate the mass transfer convection coefficient. b. Estimate the daily water loss (liter/day) associated with evaporation in the trachea.arrow_forward1. Conceptual questions a. What dimensionless group describes the relative importance of convection versus diffusion. Explain the physical basis of this group. b. For mass transfer from a flowing fluid to a reactive surface, explain how convection increases the flux of solute to the surface.arrow_forward
