Fifteen molecules of glucose can be used to form polysaccharides, specifically starch or glycogen, through a process called polymerization. In this process, the individual glucose molecules undergo dehydration synthesis, where water is removed to link them together. The resulting macromolecule will consist of a long chain of glucose units, serving as an energy storage form in plants (starch) or animals (glycogen).

How can many carbon dioxide molecules are needed to make a single glucose molecule?

Six carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) are required to create one glucose molecule (C6H12O6) because carbon dioxide has one carbon per molecule, while glucose molecules have six carbons.

How many more atoms in all do 5 molecules of hydrogen peroxide have than 5 molecules of water?

H2O2 has four nuclei (atoms) in one molecule. Therefore, it has 20 'atoms' in 5 molecules. H2O has three nuclei in one molecule. Therefore, there are 15 nuclei in 5 molecules of water. 20-15 = 5 Ans: 5!


How many molecules of ATP do youu get from 1 molecule of glucose in cellular respiration?

One molecule of glucose can make either 30 or 32 molecules of ATP, depending on its passage through the cellular respiration pathways. Glycolysis will yield either 3 or 5 ATP: 2 ATP are formed directly, and then either 1 or 3 can result from the electron carrier NADH (the other energetic product of glycolysis), depending on which shunt the NADH uses to enter the mitochondrion to feed into the electron transport chain (ETC). If NADH enters via the more-common malate-aspartate shunt, it will generate 3 ATP total. If it enters via the less-efficient glycerol-3-phosphate shunt (sometimes used by skeletal muscle or by the brain), it will generate only 1 ATP total. Thus, either 3 or 5 ATP can result from glycolysis. Pyruvate oxidation will yield 5 ATP: 2 NADH are formed per glucose (because glucose is broken down to 2 pyruvate molecules during glycolysis), each yielding about 2.5 ATP. Acetyl-CoA oxidation in the TCA cycle will yield 20 ATP: 6 NADH are formed, yielding about 15 ATP; 2 FADH2 are formed, yielding about 3 ATP; and 2 ATP (or GTP) are formed directly, for a total of 20 ATP.

If 15 glucoses are bonded with each other by glycosidic bonds what macromolecule will be formed?

If 15 glucoses are bonded together by glycosidic bonds, a polymer of the carbohydrate glucose will be formed known as a polysaccharide. The most common polysaccharide formed from glucose molecules is starch in plants or glycogen in animals.

How much more energy does glucose store than ATP?

Glucose stores about 15 times more energy than ATP. Glucose is a larger molecule that can be broken down through cellular respiration to produce more ATP molecules as an energy source for the cell.


How long would it take to get 1 micro gram of glucose if sucrose decomposed at a rate of 1 million molecules per second?

Let's start by setting up an equation of what is going on chemically. Sucrose is a sugar dimer of 1 fructose and 1 glucose molecule, so: 1 Sucrose --> 1 Glucose + 1 Fructose So, what we need to do from here is calculate how many moles of glucose would be needed to make 1 microgram (ug). The atomic mass of glucose is 180.16 g/mol, so 1ug = .000001 g. 0.000001g divided by 180.16 g/mol = 5.55 X 10^9 moles. Avogadro's number is 6.02214 X 10^23 and represents how many molecules are in 1 mole of a substance. Multiply this number by the moles of glucose and we should get 3.34 X 10^15 molecules in 1 microgram of glucose. Since the decomposition of 1 molecule of sucrose liberates 1 molecule of glucose, we do not have to take into account stoichiometric ratios. So, we need 3.34X 10^15 molecules of sucrose to decompose to get the same number of molecules of glucose. If we divide this by 1 million, we get 3.34 x 10^9. This is the number of seconds that would be needed for the decomposition to take place. Divide that by 60 we get 5.57 X 10^7 minutes, divide by 60 again and we get 9.28 X 10^5 hours, divide by 24 and we get 38,684 days and finally divide by 365 to get just under 106 years!

How much molecules of water does 15 mole contain?

9033212250000000000000000 molecules or, in scientific notation, 9.03321225 × 10^24 molecules. This is found by multiplying the number of moles by the number of molecules in a mole, which is avagadro's number, 6.0221415 × 10^23. The calculation is: 15 × (6.0221415 × 10^23)
