a.
To name:
The polysaccharide which is non-digestible by humans.
Introduction:
Polysaccharides are the long chain
b.
To name:
The storage form of carbohydrates in plants.
Introduction:
Polysaccharides are the long chain polymer of monosaccharide units, which is linked together by a glycosidic linkage. Polysaccharides may be storage or structural. The storage polysaccharides are the one that serves to store the energy in plants whereas, the structural polysaccharides are those that serves rigidity to the plant. Examples of storage polysaccharides are starch (amylose and amylopectin) and glycogen. The structural polysaccharide includes cellulose and chitin.
c.
To name:
The polysaccharide that contains only

- Calculate the pH and the pOH of each of the following solutions at 25 °C for which the substances ionize completely: (a) 0.000259 M HClO4arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a 1.0 L buffer made with 0.300 mol of HF (Ka = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 0.200 mol of NaF to which 0.160 mol of NaOH were added?arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. NaN₃arrow_forward
