How many molecules of ethanol can be obtained from one molecule of sugar?

From one molecule of glucose (sugar) you can obtain two molecules of ethanol. Glucose's chemical composition is C6H12O6 Carbon dioxide (Co2) is lost in the fermentation process so we are left with 2C2H5OH or two ethanol molecules! Hope it helps!


How many total atoms are in three molecules of table sugar?

135. The empirical formula for sucrose (table sugar) is C12H22O11, for 45 atoms per sucrose molecule.


Is the sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating nitrogen bases and sugars?

The sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating sugar-phosphate groups, not nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases are arranged in the middle of the DNA molecule and form the rungs of the double helix structure.


How many hydrogen atoms are there in sugar?

Simple sugars have the formula Cn(H2O)n .So, if you had 11 oxygen you would have the simple sugar formula C11H22O11.With this you can see that the total hydrogen atoms is 22.


How does a sugar cube dissolve in water?

Sugar cubes (and salt, and many other materials) dissolve in water because water is a powerful solvent. Properties of water molecules cause them to break down the crystalline structure of a sugar cube.Polar MoleculesWater molecules are polar, meaning that one part of the molecule has a slightly positive electric charge, and one part has a slightly negative electric charge. Sucrose molecules also have a part that carries a slight negative charge.Crystalline BondsThe bonds that hold a sugar cube together in a crystalline structure are fairly weak and rely on the sugar molecules being in contact with each other.Water Breaks the Crystalline BondsThe attraction between the negatively charged part of the sugar cube and the positively charged part of the surrounding water molecules pulls the sucrose away from the crystalline structure.Water Surrounds the SucroseThe negatively charged part of the sucrose molecule pulls in water molecules from all directions. They form a shell around the sucrose, preventing it from rejoining the crystalline structure. This layer of water molecules is called the hydration shell.Removing the WaterWhen the water is removed, through evaporation for example, the sucrose molecules come into contact with each other again and reform their crystalline bonds. They are not changed chemically in any way by the process of absorption.

What is a simple fat molecule that is composed of a simple sugar?

A simple fat molecule composed of a simple sugar is called a glycerolipid. Glycerolipids consist of a glycerol backbone attached to fatty acids. These molecules serve as important components of cell membranes and as energy storage molecules in the body.


What is the process of joining simple sugars into complex carbohydrates called?

I'm not aware of a specific name for simple sugar->complex carbohydrate conversion. But I know that it is a form of condensation polymerisation - when water is removed from the sugar molecules they join together to fill up vacant chemical bondsS. Syhnthesis Hydration is the process in which a water molecule is removed from two sugar molecules to bond into one complex molecule. The opposite of this process would be called Hydrolisis which would be when water molecules would be added to a complex molecule to create two simple sugar molecules.


What is a single sugar molecules called?

Monosaacharides are one sugar molecules Disaacharides are two sugars Polysaacharides are 3+ sugar molecules. It is important to know the difference if you are taking biochemistry!

the sides of the dna molecule are made up of sugar molecules and what?

Sugar molecules and phosphate groups


What makes up the sides of a DNA molecule?

A DNA molecule consists of two strands that are made up of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. The sides of the DNA molecule are formed by alternating sugar and phosphate molecules linked together to create a backbone for the molecule.


Why are complex carbohydrates better for storing energy than simple sugar?

Simple sugar molecules will create lot of osmotic pressure in the cell. In case of glycogen, you have thousands of glucose molecules put together. Glycogen molecule is compact and does not produce much osmotic pressure.


Single sugar molecule?

A single sugar molecule is a simple carbohydrate composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Common examples include glucose and fructose. These molecules are the building blocks of more complex carbohydrates and provide energy to the body.


What kind of molecules are sugar vegetable oil and alcohol examples of?

Sugar is an example of a carbohydrate molecule, vegetable oil is an example of a lipid molecule, and alcohol is an example of an organic compound molecule.


What happens to the paricles of sugar when a sugarcube is dissolved in water?

the sugar particles turn into ions which attach to the polar molecules of water Each sugar molecule does not become an ion. Each sugar molecule is charge neutral and thus has no charge. When sugar is dissolved in water, the water pulls the sugar molecules apart from each other and the individual sugar molecules no longer touch each other. Each sugar molecule is surrounded by water. The forces between molecules are responsible for this. The polar shape of water molecules is what governs the separation.
