Draw the structure of the tripeptide alanylglycylvaline and determine its name using three-letter abbreviations.
Spermaceti, a fragrant substance isolated from sperm whales, was commonly used in cosmetics until it was banned in 1976 to protect the whales from extinction. Chemically, spermaceti is cetyl palmitate, the ester of palmiticacid with cetyl alcohol (the straight-chain 16-carbon alcohol). Draw the structure of spermaceti.
When a person cannot digest galactose, its reduced form, called dulcitol, often accumulates in the blood and tissues. Write the structure of the open-chain form of dulcitol. Does dulcitol have an enantiomer? Why or why not?

The synthesis of prostaglandins in our bodies starts with arachidonic acid (see figure below), a long, unsaturated hydrocarbon containing four C=C double bonds and an acid functional group (–COOH). The stereoisomer with all cis double bonds is shown. Draw the stereoisomer with all trans double bonds. Draw the Lewis structures with the formal charges minimized. Do not include formal charges or electron pairs.

- Cellulose and glycogen are both polymers of glucose, but they have very different functions. Select all of the statements below that are true (this is a multi-select question). One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that the cellulose has a(1→6) branches, which greatly increases the "connectiveness" within the structure. One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that cellulose is a B(14) linked glucan, while glycogen is an a(1→4) linked glucan. The major cause of the functional difference is that glycogen is stored in the cytosol, whereas cellulose is a component of the cell walls. Cellulose is flexible due to the noncovalent interactions between the B(1-4) linked strands of glucose: the polymer can bend without breaking covalent bonds. Cellulose is more "stretchy" than glycogen, since its structure is held together only by the relatively weak hydrogen bonds.arrow_forwardAlginic acid, isolated from seaweed and used as athickening agent for ice cream and other foods, is apolymer of d-mannuronic acid with b(1,4) glycosidiclinkages.a.
