Dissolve it in water. This causes the -OH group on one end to react with the C=O group on the other end to form an oxygen link to produce a six-carbon ring.

What shape of a carbon chain play?
carbon chain can be linear, branched or cyclic in nature.
What does sugar molecule look like?
Monosaccharides are building blocks of carbohydrates. They can exist in chain form or ring form, and in many cases, the only difference in these structures is in the arrangement of the hydroxyl groups.
Why are the reactions considered to be part of a cycle?
Photosynthesis (PS) and respiration(RES) are not wholly cyclic reaction.PS is divisible in 2 parts light reaction which is non cyclic and dark reaction is cyclic Res is divisible in 3 parts glycolysis and electron trans port chain are non cyclic while krebs cycle is cyclic
What is the chain structure of glucuronic acid?
C7h19o9
The process of glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is a highly branched polymeric structure containing glucose as the basic monomer. First individual glucose molecules are hydrolyzed from the chain, followed by the addition of a phosphate group at C-1. In the next step the phosphate is moved to the C-6 position to give glucose 6-phosphate, a cross road compound. Glucose-6-phosphate is the first step of the glycolysis pathway if glycogen is the carbohydrate source and further energy is needed. If energy is not immediately needed, the glucose-6-phosphate is converted to glucose for distribution in the blood to various cells such as brain cells.
What is the difference in a cyclic and a chain structure in hydrocarbons?
Cyclic hydrocarbons form a circular shape. Like an O chain structures are linear structures. Like VVVVV
Cyclic structure of xylose?
Xylose is a 5-carbon sugar that can form a cyclic structure through intramolecular reaction between the C1 carbonyl group and the C5 hydroxyl group. This forms a six-membered ring called a pyranose ring, with oxygen at the anomeric position. The cyclic form of xylose is more common in solution than the open-chain form.
How would you Proof that benzene has a cyclic structure?
The catalytic hydrogenation of benzene gives the C6H12 which obeys the formula of Alkenes but do not react with Br2 and KMnO4 solution so it is a cyclic molecule cyclohexane, the formation of cyclohexane proves that benzene also exists in cyclic structure.
What shape of a carbon chain play?
carbon chain can be linear, branched or cyclic in nature.
The electron transport chain uses the high energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to?
convert ADP to ATP!
What are two isomers of glucose?
Glucose C6H12O6 has six isomers, there are two configurations of Glucose, D-Glucose and L-Glucose, both of these have further three isomers one open chain and two closed chain or cyclic isomers one is Alpha-Glucose and other is Beta-Glucose.
What is the difference between amylose and amylopectin?
Amylopectin is easer for enzymes to get around and break it down. Amylose is a long unbranced chain of glucose, it has a cylinder like structure wich makes it compact so its good for storage. Amylopectin is a long branched chain of glucose, its structure is a benifit because enzymes that break glycosidic bonds to break down the moleclue get to it faster. This means glucose is released faster.
Is Cyclohexane a cyclic hydrocarbon having six carbon atoms in a straight chain?
no
What is cyclic and non cyclic?
Cyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll went through the electron transport chain and return back to the chlorophyll. Noncyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll doesn't return back but incorporated into NADPH.
What is straight chain method?
Straight chain method is you may find your answer right away, On the otherhand the Cyclic chain method is you will do the process again until you find the right answer
What are types of hydrocarbons?
They can be open chain "acyclic/aliphatic" or closed chain "ring/cyclic" (carbon chains). Openhain is again of different types, saturated ie.only single bonds or unsturated ie.double or thriple bonds. Cyclic hydrocarbons can be monocyclic or polycyclic
What advantage does the branched-chain structure of glycogen provide compared with a straight chain of glucose?
There are several advantages because the glycogen molecule is branched. It is a better storage facility for glucose because the branches make it more soluble, and the glycogen is also synthesized more quickly.
