What else can I help you with?
Is there a food without glucose?
of course! try yougurt or cheese or steak also there are many foods designated to people with glucse allergies
Where does respiration usually begin?
Respiration typically begins in the nose or mouth, where air is inhaled and then travels down the respiratory tract to the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is taken up by red blood cells and carbon dioxide is released for exhalation.
What do you use to balance the number of atoms on each side of reaction?
Generally just simple math and the fact that the product has to equal the reactant (except maybe in nuclear reactions) Ex _C6H12O6 + _O2 -> _CO2 + _H2O 1. Find the reactant molecule that is the only source of certain atoms in the products: - Glucose (only source of carbon and hydrogen) x O2 is not the only source of oxygen glucose has oxygen as well 2. Place a 1 in front of it 1C6H12O6 + _O2 -> _CO2 + _H2O Now 1 glucose means that there are 6 Carbons and 12 Hydrogens 6 Carbons means that there are 6 carbon dioxides, 6CO2 12 Hydrogens means that there are 6 waters (6*2=12) , 6H2O 1C6H12O6 + _O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O 6 CO2 and 6H2O = 18 Oxygens 6 Oxygens are already in glucse 12 Oxygen remaining --> 6O2 1C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes this method will give you fractions _N2 + _H2 -> _NH3 _N2 + 1H2 -> _NH3 1H2 (2 Hydrogens) --> (2/3) NH3 (2Hydrogens) Multiply both by the denominator 3H2 (6 Hydrogens) --> 2NH3 (6Hydrogens) 2NH3 --> 1N2 1N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
What makes cellulose different from starch?
cellulose has beta1-4 linkages and is not branched and has only one reducing end so it is much harder to break down hence why it is used for structure. and starch is highly branched and has many reducing ends, it is made of alpha 1-4 and alpha 1-6 linkages. The alpha 1-6 give the branching leading to many reducing ends which is why it is used for storage
