Question
Chapter 7, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The rate of the cellulose synthase reaction that adds glucose units to the growing cellulose molecules is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates are made up of elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are one of the essential macronutrient in our diet. It is the major source of energy and is important for balanced diet. The simplest hydrolyzed form that is obtained from the carbohydrates is known as monosaccharide. Polysaccharides are those types of sugars which contain more than ten units of monosaccharides. Cellulose is a polysaccharide that consists of large number of glucose monomers.

Instructions
This is a ‘scenario problem’. Read the information and answer the questions. Your answers must be concise, focus on the question (an introduction isn’t needed), and include a short explanation. ANSWERS OF ESSAY LENGTH ARE NOT REQUIRED. You will need to include some explanation as part of your answers. References should be included both in text (Harvard referencing system) and as a reference list at the end. An exemplar based on last year’s scenario is available on Moodle to guide you on the level of detail expected for this assessment.
Please note that these questions are not equally weighted, and it is likely that answers to some will be a bit longer than others. Because of this, your mark will be based on your overall response to all of the questions. This doesn’t mean you can ignore a question – you must attempt all questions.
Consider the following scenario:
