What are the difference between glucose starch and sugar?
glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.
What substances are removed during respiration?
This is the equation for respiration: glucose + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY Glucose and oxygen are used to make water, carbon dioxide and energy. So I suppose it could be said that oxygen and glucose are removed
Can the fetus metabolize glucose without oxygen?
First of all, the human fetus does have oxygen. The oxygen is obtained from the mother's blood via the placenta. But if the fetus did not have oxygen temporarily, s/he could still metabolize glucose. This would be done the same way that other humans metabolize glucose without oxygen--by converting it to lactic acid.
Why can't fatty acids be converted directly to glucose?
Oh my god, this has confused me for months and I finally think I get it, so I hope I can explain it decently. When fatty acids are oxidized, the acetyl-CoA can enter the Krebs cycle, and one would think that the oxaloacetate generated by the Krebs cycle could be converted to acetyl-CoA, which could then be converted to pyruvate for gluconeogenesis. This can't happen, though, because even though oxaloacetate is made, there is no net increase in oxaloacetate (two carbons are lost in the Krebs cycle for every two in the acetyl-CoA coming in). Oxaloacetate can't be taken out of the cycle, then, because then the cycle would be depleted and the only way to replenish it is through one of the anapleoritic reactions, which involve products of glycolysis (PEP and pyruvate). If there is enough PEP or pyruvate around to replenish the oxaloacetate you're taking out to make glucose, chances are you don't need to make glucose in the first place. Pyruvate from glucose or amino acids can be used to make sugars before it is converted to acetyl-CoA, but the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction is irreversible, so once pyruvate is made into acetyl-CoA it cannot be used to make glucose; it is committed to either fatty acid synthesis or the Krebs cycle. Plants can make glucose from fatty acids, but this is only because they are able to use the glyoxlyate cycle instead of the Krebs cycle. The glyoxylate cycle bypasses the step in the Krebs cycle (the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase step) in which the two carbons are lost as CO2, so when plant acetyl-CoA enters the glyoxylate cycle there IS a net increase in oxaloacetate which can be used to make pyruvate.
Why is the Benedict test not exclusive to glucose?
The Benedict test will return a positive value for any reducing sugar. It will work with fructose, for example. Benedict solution oxidizes all the reducing sugars such as glucose, galactose and fructose. This implies that a positive result of Benedict's test can be any of the reducing sugars, not necessarily glucose. It will oxidize the carbonyl (which present in all type of sugar classes). So if we get a positive result in the Benedict test, it is not necessarily glucose; it could be galactose or fructose that also a reducing sugar. So Benedict test can't be used to assure glucose.
Why does glucose diffuse through dialysis tubing into distilled water?
Glucose diffuses through dialysis tubing into the distilled water as, glucose molecules are small, it could fit through the pores of the dialysis tube. It is also because glucose is hydrophillic, (polar compound), which will dissolve in water as it is a polar compound as well.
Why cant you get a clear sound out of your trumpet?
It could be several things. There could be a crimp in the tubing somewhere or there could be something stuck in the tubing.
What type of shops could I get poly tubing from?
You can purchase poly tubing at any home improvement store such as Lowes or Home Depot.
Can you use copper tubing as decorative electrical conduit?
You could, but it's certainly not a good idea. Any damage to the insulation of the wires running through it would be extremely dangerous.
Where can one buy copper tubing?
There are many places that one could purchase copper tubing. One could try the website Amazon as that website has a large selection of many items or one could try a local hardware chain such as Home Depot.
Could glucose get separated from a magnet?
Glucose is not a metal and can not be separated using a magnet.
Give example of facilitated diffusion?
Glucose molecule going through the protein channel to enter and exit the cell. Hope I could help.
A cell membrane is like a what?
A semi-permeable membrane. It could be compared to dialysis tubing.
How could you quantify the amount of glucose in a range of commercially available glucose drinks?
colorimetric analysis
What is the simple sugar that the body uses for quick energy?
It could be sugar, or a toffee.
What are the difference between glucose starch and sugar?
glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.
What is the ticking sound after turning off 2002 Jeep Liberty?
It is just a guess when I am not able to hear the particular sound. If it is somewhat of a metalic tubing sound it could just be the exhaust tubing cooling down.
