Concept explainers

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of th…
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotat…

Chapter 21, Problem 34QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To write the function of starch and cellulose in plants and explain why starch is digestible by humans but not cellulose.

Concept Introduction:

Starch and cellulose are the made of the number of glucose joins to each other in a sereis. Starch consist of two polymers such as amylose and amylopectin.

Amylose is polymer made of linear chain glucose while amylopectin is polymer made of branched chain polymers.

Cellulose consist of monomer beta D- glucose cross linked to each other while starch can be straight or branched.
