Summary Introduction
To explain: The conclusions that may be drawn about the abundance of cellulose on earth.
Introduction: Polysaccharides are composed of monosaccharide sugars. These sugars are linked together by glycosidic bonds. Polysaccharides are of two types: branched and non-branched based on the linking of their monomers. There are different polysaccharide molecules present, for example, glycogen is a disaccharide molecule composed of long chains of glucose monomers. Cellulose is a polysaccharide of β-D- glucose. Cellulose is an unbranched polysaccharide molecule.

Q3. Péclet number - We've seen the Péclet number Pé :
vl
as a useful metric to
determine if stirring (Pé > 1) is more efficient than diffusion (Pé < 1) for mixing
solutions. "Stirring" here can designate any process which applies a force on the molecules,
resulting in a velocity v.
a) Show that the Péclet number, like the Reynolds number, is unitless.
Let's think about why scale (l) matters for mixing. A-DNA, a DNA polymer containing
48,502 base pairs, has a diffusion coefficient of D =
field of 1 V/m, we can expect 1-DNA to reach a terminal velocity of 30 nm/s.

- % Change in Potato Core Mass Groups of students in a biology class conduct an experiment to explore the movement of water into and out of plant cells. Each group makes six potato cores and mneasures the initial masses of the cores. The groups submerge the potato cores in sucrose solutions of differing concentrations that range from 0.0 M to 1.0 M. After one hour, each group removes the potato cores from the solutions and measures the final masses of the cores. The initial and final masses of the potato cores are used to calculate a percent change in mass for each core to account for differences in the initial masses. The students generate a graph using the average percent change in mass for all the groups in the class for each solution. 20 10 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 -10 -20 -30 -40 Concentration of Sucrose (M) Based on the data collected, which solution concentration is isotonic to the potato core?
