Glucose is chemically produced through a process called photosynthesis in plants. During this process, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which drives the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The overall chemical reaction can be summarized by the equation: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. This process primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
What else can I help you with?
Which 2 monsaccharides are chemically combined to make sucrose?
Sucrose is formed by glucose and fructose.
What happens if 40 glucose is suspended in 40 glucose?
When 40 grams of glucose is suspended in 40 grams of glucose, it creates a concentrated solution of glucose. Since both the solvent and solute are the same substance (glucose), there is no effective dilution or change in concentration; the solution remains essentially a saturated glucose solution. The physical properties may change slightly, but chemically, it remains the same compound. This scenario essentially results in a more viscous solution due to the increased concentration of glucose.
Is glucose present in starch?
Yes. Starch is composed of glucose molecules chemically bonded to one another.
When fructose and glucose are bound together what is the result?
Glucose and fructose chemically combine to form the disaccharide sucrose.
What does chemically joining phosphorus and oxygen make?
Chemically joining phosphorus and oxygen creates phosphorus pentoxide (P4O10).
How does a plastic comb and dry hair produce electricity?
When you rub a plastic comb against dry hair, friction causes electrons to transfer from the hair to the comb, giving the comb a negative charge and the hair a positive charge. This separation of charges creates static electricity.
Does photosynthesis breaks down glucose?
No, photosynthesis is the plant process that creates the glucose for the plants as food.
The process of photosynthesis creates oxygen and what sugar?
Glucose.
Double sugar formed from the combination of two simple sugars?
A disaccharide is formed when two simple sugars combine through a condensation reaction, resulting in the formation of a glycosidic linkage. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
What 3 elements chemically combine to form glucose?
The three elements that make up glucose are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These can be in the form of carbohydrates or sugars.
How does a charged comb affect bits of paper?
A charged comb can attract bits of paper due to the transfer of charge. When the comb is charged, it creates an electric field that interacts with the charged particles in the paper, causing them to be attracted to the comb. This phenomenon is a demonstration of electrostatic force.
What happen when rubbing a comb and place near to a flowing water?
Rubbing a comb creates static electricity, which can attract small objects such as water droplets. When the charged comb is placed near flowing water, the static electricity can pull the water stream towards the comb due to the attractive force between the charged comb and the polar water molecules.
