Question
Chapter 23.4, Problem 23.10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the micelle in a saturated fatty acid salt has to be drawn and their parts need to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Micelle formation:
A sphere-shaped cluster formed when the accumulation of soap or detergent molecules so that their hydrophilic ends are on the surface and hydrophobic ends is in the centre are formed
Acids have two different parts
- (1) Hydrophilic (water-loving),
- (2) Hydrophobic (water-fearing).
Hydrophilic (water-loving):
The compound has the carboxyl group (
Hydrophobic (water-fearing):
The compound has alkyl chain group is called as hydrophilic.

In the structure in the picture, the monosaccharide units (alpha-D-galactopyranosyl and beta-D-allopyranose) are linked via alpha-1->3 glycosidic bond. Then, the formed disaccharide units are linked via beta-1->4 glycosidic bond. Then, an Oligosaccharide is formed which has 10 monosaccharide units, meaning that it contains 5 disaccharide units.
Question:
Is this oligosaccharide a good substrate for glycolysis? Provide two reasons for your answer.
