Concept explainers

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…

Question

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C=O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in aldehydes is placed at the end of the molecular structure, which means the C=O is attached to one hydrogen atom and an alkyl group or a benzene ring. Just like all the other homologous series in organic chemistry, the naming of aldehydes uses the suffix “-al”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O.

Chapter 21, Problem 61A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Structural component of plants, polymer of glucose needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrate- Carbohydrates are the naturally occurring organic compound. It consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are aldehyde, ketone, and polyhydroxy groups present. The carbonyl group is present in aldehyde, ketone, and alcohol group present as a polyhydroxy group.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 61A

Cellulose is the polymer of glucose and it is the structural component of plants.

Explanation of Solution

Cellulose is the polymer with many glucose monosaccharide units. Cellulose is a polymer of glucose. It is important for plant.

Conclusion

Cellulose is an important component of the cell wall of the plant. It is the straight line polymer of the glucose. Cellulose is the most abundant organic molecule present on earth.
