What else can I help you with?
Why does blood carry glucose?
glucose gives us energy, the blood carries the glucose to our muscles so they can move
Does photosynthesis withdraw energy from glucose?
Nope. it just uses the sun rays to produce glucose
What molecules supply electrons to an electron transport chain?
Glucose. Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced here.
What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?
After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy. To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels. Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose. Not sure about amino acids :P
Cellulose is the main component of what?
Glucose .
Is glucose and aldopentose or aldohexose?
Glucose is an aldohexose, meaning it is a monosaccharide with six carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. Aldopentoses, on the other hand, have five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group.
What ketohexose and aldohexose are present in melezitose?
Melezitose is composed of the ketohexose fructose, along with two units of the aldohexose glucose. It is a trisaccharide made up of glucose-fructose-glucose.
What is a monasaccharide that contains six carbon atoms and aldehyde group classified as?
such carbohydrates are known as Aldhexsose as Glucose.
When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
How are glucose and manose related?
Monnose can be defined as a sugar monmer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. Glucose can be defined as d-glucose, dextrose or grape sugar. Glucose and manose are related because they are both types of sugars.
How is a monosaccharide?
Monosaccharides are the simplest sugars that cannot be broken down further very easily. Glucose is an aldohexose, which means that it has an aldehyde head and a 6 carbon chain. A link where you can find an image of glucose is provided in the related link.
What is the action of barium hydroxide in interconversion of fructose and glucose?
Barium hydroxide acts as a catalyst in the interconversion of fructose and glucose by isomerizing the ketohexose fructose to aldohexose glucose in the Lobry de Bruyn-van Ekenstein transformation. This process involves the migration of functional groups within the molecule, leading to the conversion of fructose to glucose.
What is an altrose?
An altrose is an aldohexose epimeric with mannose.
Of the eight D-aldohexoses which is the most abundant in the biological world?
D-glucose is the most abundant D-aldohexose in the biological world. It is a primary source of energy for living organisms and plays a key role in cellular respiration and other metabolic processes.
What is the pyranose and furanose formula for aldohexose?
pyranose is a collective noun of carbohydrates that have a six membered ring system which is 5 carbons and one oxygen. example: glucose Furanose is a collective noun of carbohydrates that have a five membered ring system which is 4 carbons and one oxygen. example: fructose
What is an aldohexose?
An aldohexose is a type of monosaccharide with six carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. Examples of aldohexoses include glucose and galactose. They are important sources of energy in living organisms.
Name a simple carbohydrate with 6 carbons?
A simple carbohydrate with 6 carbons is aldohexose or a six-carbon aldehyde. Aldohexose is a monosaccharide that has an aldehyde group on one end.
