- What bond connects the monomer units in cellulose: amide, acid, ether, ester, or alcohol?arrow_forwardIt is well known that humans are able to digest amylose, but not cellulose. What structural features might be responsible this observation?arrow_forward5. Ribose's structure is ОН HO ОН ОН a) Draw using the arrow formalism the reaction of linear ribose to make a 5-membered ring. b) What is the name of the resulting functional group? c) Given that reaction of alcohols (such as RCH2OH) with carbonyls (such as HCO-R') to create this functional group is typically not thermodynamically favored, why does most ribose in water exist as a 5-membered ring? A few word answer is fine. d) AG°for this reaction is about - 5 kJ/mol. Assuming that you start with a 1 mM solution of ribose in water, what is the approximate concentration at equilibrium of (i) the linear form? (ii) The cyclic form? (A good answer should be correct within 20%, e.g. it is fine to approximate 9 mM as 10 mM, but it is not okay to approximate 0.1 mM as 1 mM.) e) This reaction creates a new stereocenter. Please indicate it with a *. f) Consider the starting point for synthesis of purines like ATP, which is PRPP (pheseboribosylevOrhesehate) НО НО LOLOH HO ОН HO OH Pyrophosphate…arrow_forward
- In general, the starch hydrolysis reaction can be written as (C6H10O5)n + H2O -> (C6H10O5)n-1 + C6H12O6, where one glucose is produced for every water added. Because of the addition of water, the mass of the glucose monomer increases during hydrolysis from approximately 162g/mol in the starch polymer to 180g/mol as free sugar. The glucose, in turn is converted to ethanol by the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, according to the reaction, C6H12O6 -> 2 CO2 + 2 C2H5OH. The starch in 25kg (~1 bushel) of corn is hydrolyzed and in the process 1.8kg of water (H2O) is consumed. How many moles of glucose (C6H12O6) would you expect to be produced? If the glucose from the above hydrolysis is fermented, how many moles of ethanol (C2H5OH) would result? How many grams?arrow_forwardComplete the following reaction equations :(i) C6H5N2Cl + H3PO2 + H2O →(ii) C6H5NH2 + Br2 (aq) →arrow_forwardHow does polyimides behave in acidic media?arrow_forward
