Which of the following is not a polymer starch DNA glucose c
Solution
Question
Answer
Explanation
Which of the following is not a polymer?
A)Glucose
Glucose is not a polymer, it is a monomer. But when glucose molecules join together through glycosidic bonds they can form a polymer called starch or glycogen.
Which of the following is an example of hydrolysis?
B) the reaction of a triglycerides forming glycerol and fatty acids with the consumption of water
Hydrolysis is a chemical process, in which water will be added to the substrate to facilitate its conversion to product. So water is consumed here.
How many molecules of water are needed to completely hydrolyze a polymer that is 11 monomers long?
D)10
We will be needing n-1 molecules of water to completely hydrolyze a polymer of n monomers. 11-1=10 water molecules.
What is the chemical reaction mechanism by which cells make polymers from monomers?
C) Dehydration reaction
Polymers are synthesized by removing the hydrogen of one monomer and combining with the hydroxyl group of another monomer releasing a molecule of water.
Two monomers will combine with each other by removing two hydrogens from each of them and oxygen will combine with these two hydrogens and forms a molecule of water.
