Chapter 8, Problem 12E
Summary Introduction

To identify: The monosaccharides and their linkages in the following disaccharide.

Concept introduction:

The biomolecules that are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are collectively called as carbohydrates. They are also known as sugars or saccharides. Based on the behavior on hydrolysis, carbohydrates can be classified into monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. On hydrolysis, monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler compounds. Disaccharides can yield two molecules of monosaccharides, on hydrolysis, that are joined together by using glycosidic linkage. Polysaccharides are composed of several monosaccharide units; on hydrolysis, they are joined together by glycosidic linkage.

How does a voltage-gated sodium channel work? Specifically, how and why does a change in voltage trigger their opening? Please be detailed
When sodium ions enter a neuron during depolarization, they trigger the opening of additional voltage-gated sodium channels nearby, creating a positive feedback loop where the influx of sodium ions further depolarizes the membrane, causing even more sodium channels to open and allowing more sodium ions to enter the cell, thus sustaining the depolarization process until the action potential peaks. But how and why exactly does the influx of sodium ions trigger more sodium channels to let in more sodium? Please explain
