What else can I help you with?
When you name a glycosidic linkage such as alpha 1-6 the numbers refer to which?
The numbers in a glycosidic linkage represent the carbon atoms involved in the bond formation. For example, in an alpha 1-6 linkage, carbon atom 1 of one sugar molecule is connected to carbon atom 6 of another sugar molecule.
Is DNA a 6 carbon sugar?
No, DNA is not a sugar. DNA is composed of phosphate groups, deoxyribose sugar, and nitrogenous bases, but it is not itself a sugar. Deoxyribose sugar in DNA is a 5-carbon sugar, not a 6-carbon sugar.
Is a monosaccharide a 6 carbon sugar?
Another name for a six-carbon sugar is a hexose. A monosaccharide ("single sugar") is a chemical compound whose molecules can be found in chains in other compounds. An example is glucose. One molecule of glucose is a six-carbon compound. But when two glucose molecules combine, the product is a disaccharide ("two-sugar compound"), namely maltose. The common sugar used in cooking is sucrose, another disaccharide, consisting of one glucose and one fructose residue (component). Yet another hexose, galactose, combines with glucose to form the disaccharide lactose.
How do you name formulas?
You name formulas by what they are made of. i.e. sugar= C6H12O6. Since sugar (plant sugar) is made from 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms, they all add up to C6H12O6.
How is carbon used in the process of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar using ATP and NADPH. This process is known as carbon fixation or the Calvin cycle. Carbon dioxide is combined with a 5-carbon sugar creating a 6-carbon sugar. The 6-carbon sugar is eventually broken-down into two molecules, glucose and fructose. These two molecules make sucrose or sugar.
How many molecules of carbon dioxide are used to produce one 6 carbon sugar molecule?
Six molecules of carbon dioxide are used to produce one 6-carbon sugar molecule through the process of photosynthesis.
What is made up of 5 carbon sugar and n important carbon dioxide acceptor?
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate is the 5-carbon sugar that acts as an important carbon dioxide acceptor in the Calvin cycle during photosynthesis.
How many atoms are in simple sugars chemical formula?
There are different types of sugar but a common sugar has the formula C6H12O6 so it would contain 24 separate atoms. "Simple sugar" is sometimes used as another name for glucose, which does have the above formula. However, if you mean table sugar, that's a disaccharide of glucose and fructose, C12H22O11, a total of 45 atoms.
How many atoms does table sugar have?
The chemical name of table sugar is sucrose. Its chemical formula is C12H22O11 (ie 6 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogens and 11 oxygens).
Is glucose an aldose ketose or pentose?
hexose, it is a 6 carbon sugar.
What is the ratio of sugar carbon atoms to oxygen?
Which sugar. There are many different sugars and the ratio can vary. If you mean sucrose, there are 12 carbons and 11 oxygens, so ratio of carbon to oxygen is 12:11
How many times is carbon oxygen and hydrogen in sugar?
Table sugar - sucrose - contains 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms per molecule. Other sugars have different formulae.
