(a)
Interpretation:
The polysaccharides C and D needs to be identified as amylose or cellulose. The polysaccharide containing
Concept Introduction:
Polysaccharides contain three or more monosaccharides joined together.
Three prevalentpolysaccharides in nature are cellulose, starch, and glycogen, each of which consists of repeating glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds.
Cellulose is found in the cell walls of nearly all plants.
Starch is a
(b)
Interpretation:
The polysaccharide which is not digestible by humans needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:

Three prevalent polysaccharides in nature are cellulose, starch, and glycogen, each of which consists of repeating glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds.
Cellulose is found in the cell walls of nearly all plants.
Starch is a polymer composed of repeating glucose units joined in a-glycosidic linkages. The two common forms of starch are amylose and amylopectin.

- 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.
