A mole of sucrose and a mole of glucose are equal in their?
...amount... One mole of sucrose and one mole of glucose refers to the same amount of molecules of each. Remember that the mole is the chemist's counting unit. One mole of something is 6.022137x10^23 particles of a substance.
What is the term for a molecule that has two times the amount of hydrogen than that of the oxygen in the molecule?
Water is one such molecule, being H2O. The molecules of sucrose and glucose also have the same two to one ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. Sucrose is C12H22O11, and glucose is C6H12O6.
Would the ratio of solute to solvent in a sucrose solution be the same as in a glucose solution?
No. For the physical formula ratio, of [solute:solvent] to be the same, you would have to use twice as much glucose as sucrose, to make the solution; because sucrose is a disaccharide. But, when preparing the solution, the actual weight used will be approximately the same. You have a solution, with solute sucrose, at 1C ratio. Weighing the same amount of glucose (in grams), will make a solution of 2C ratio. General expression is Glucose:Sucrose::2:1.
Does the amount of light affect the chlorphyll concentration in a plant?
no. This is because light only affect the rate of photosynthesis and not the chlorophyll concentration in the leaf
Does concentration of salt in the water affect the amount of electrical charge?
no
How does the presence of the pancreas in the control period affect the amount of glucose in the blood?
Its affects the amount of glucose becuase it lowers down the presence of the cells occured in the pancreas.
How does ADH affect the concentration of potassium in urine?
Affects the concentration of potassium in the urine by controlling the amount of water in the urine.
Why fruits are sweet?
Sugar is sweet because of the sucrose that is made from two simple sugars, glucose and fructose. Sugar molecules are also detected by our tongue making it taste the sweetness.
What are the two substance found in greater concentration in the renal artery than in the renal vein?
Glucose and Amino acids because as the concentration of other waste products like urea and CO2 decreases so the CONCENTRATION of glucose and amino acids will increase. NOTE: Only the concentration will increase, that does not mean that their amount also increases
How would changing the amount of glucose available to a cell affect the rate of respiration?
Glucose utilization would increase a little
How can amount or concentration of nutrients affect the type of organisms found in freshwaters?
The amount of nutrients in freshwater will determine what type of organisms there are. If there is bacteria in the water, it may affect the nutrients and contaminate them, which will affect the organisms that live in the water.
What should I include in my diet to help control Molluscum Contagiosum?
The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal. The body naturally tightly.
