(a)
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The significant of n in (Glucose)n which is used to write glycogen should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The branched polymer of glucose is glycogen which is written as (Glucose)n . In glycogen, the glucose residues are linearly linked by α -1,4 glycosidic bonds and after every 10 residues, a chain of glucose residues (branched) is linked by α -1,6 glycosidic bonds.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The approximate value of n should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Glycogen is a branched chain polymer of glucose, i.e., n glucose units is combined to form a chain of glycogen.

The representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a gas, as the temperature increases:a) it becomes more flattenedb) the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/sExplain it.
The velocity distribution function of gas moleculesa) is used to measure their velocity, since the small size of gas molecules means that it cannot be measured in any other wayb) is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocities
Explain why in the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas, the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/s.
