(a)
Interpretation:
The polysaccharide A and B need to be identified as amylopectin or glycogen. The polysaccharide containing
Concept Introduction:
Polysaccharides contain three or more monosaccharides joined.
Amylopectin is one of the common forms of the starch and it is the branch form of the starch. Starch is the main carbohydrate found in the seeds and roots of plants. Corn, rice, wheat, and potatoes are common foods that contain a great deal of starch. Starch is a
Glycogen is the major form in which polysaccharides are stored in animals. Glycogen, a polymer of glucose-containing a-glycosidic bonds, has a branched structure like amylopectin, but the branching is much more extensive.
(b)
Interpretation:
The polysaccharide stored in the liver needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:

Amylopectin is one of the common forms of the starch and it is the branch form of the starch. Starch is the main carbohydrate found in the seeds and roots of plants. Corn, rice, wheat, and potatoes are common foods that contain a great deal of starch. Starch is a polymer composed of repeating glucose units joined in a-glycosidic linkages.
Glycogen is the major form in which polysaccharides are stored in animals. Glycogen, a polymer of glucose-containing a-glycosidic bonds, has a branched structure like amylopectin, but the branching is much more extensive.

Interpretation:
The polysaccharide present in bread and pasta needs to be determined.

- For the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forwarde. f.
