(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:
Polysaccharides contain three or more monosaccharides joined.
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.
(c)
Interpretation:
The polysaccharide stored in the liver and muscle needs to be determined.

- Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: What is the product of the reaction? *see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardThe answer here says that F and K have a singlet and a doublet. The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
- Draw the Birch Reduction for this aromatic compound and include electron withdrawing groups and electron donating groups. *See attachedarrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardBlocking Group are use to put 2 large sterically repulsive group ortho. Show the correct sequence toconnect the reagent to product with the highest yield possible. * see imagearrow_forward
- Elimination-Addition: What molecule was determined to be an intermediate based on a “trapping experiment”? *please solve and see imagearrow_forwardShow the correct sequence to connect the reagent to product. * see imagearrow_forwardPredict the final product. If 2 products are made, list which should be “major” and “minor”. **see attachedarrow_forward
