Is dextrin a gluten?

No, dextrin is a short carbohydrate. Gluten is a protein, principally from wheat. Without knowing how the dextrin is produced, however, it would be impossible to know whether it might be contaminated by gluten. Dextrin is produced from starch, which can come from many sources.


Does starch contain reducing sugars?

The Fehling's and the Benedict's Test are the just two of the many tests conducted in identifying reducing and non-reducing sugars. Reducing sugars like the monosaccharides can reduce cupric hydroxide from the reagents used. This is because the reducing sugars have a free oH group at their anomeric carbon that can cause the reduction of mild oxidizing agents like fehling and Benedict solution.In non reducing sugars this oH is involved in glycosidic bond formation.


Why are vegetarian meals effective in reducing weight?

Vegetarian meals are effective in reducing weight for many reasons. As vegetarian meals are higher in plant-based foods, they contain less calories when compared to meat-based meals.


How many reducing ends are in a molecule of glycogen that contains 10000 residues with a branch every 10 residues?

The question cannot be answered unambigously based on the information given, since the number depends on how long the chains at each branching point are. If there is one glucose substituent per branching point, the no. of glucose molecules used for the substitution is found by iteration starting by 60000/12 = 5000, but 55000/12 = 4583. Hence the average is where the ends meet: That is about 4791 substituents (depending on how numbers are rounded up or down), which gives 4791 non-reducing ends + 1 from the "backbone = 4792. If there are two glucose substituents per branching point, the no. of branching points, and hence the no. of reducing ends will decrease to about a little less than half of this number because more glucose monomers are "consumed" in the branching chains and the backbone chain will in turn be shorter resulting in fewer possible branching points. However, each branching chain will only have one non-reducing end, and the backbone will stil have only one non-reducing end! :-) Nice question though - I can add that if there is only one large molecule containing all these 60000 glucose monomers there will be only one reducing end no matter how many branching points there are.

How many electrons does a magnesium cation contain?

The most common magnesium ion is Mg2+. It loses 2 electrons. By losing 2 electrons, Mg then has no electrons in the 3s energy level, drastically reducing the energy of the atom.
