<span>Starch and cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no enzyme that can break it down. </span>

What is a connective tissue?
dimaraw [331]
Connective tissue is developed from embryonic mesoderm. It often consists of interlacing protein fibers (though there are some exceptions, such as blood) that form a framework for and connect, support, separate, and bind tissues and organs in the body. Examples include cartilage and bone. 

Hope this helps!

For the reaction, 2cr2+ + cl2(g) ---&gt; 2cr3+ + 2cl- e cell (standard conditions) = 1.78v calculate ecell (standard conditions)
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

-1.78 V

Explanation:

There are several rules required to calculate the cell potential:

  • given standard cell potential, we may reverse the equation: the products of a given reaction become our reactants, while reactants become our products in the reversed equation. For a reversed equation, we change the sign of the cell potential to the opposite sign;
  • if we multiply the whole equation by some number, this doesn't influence the cell potential value. It only produces a different expression in the equilibrium constant.

That said, notice that the initial reaction with respect to the final reaction is:

  • reversed: chromium(III) cation and chloride anion become our reactants as opposed to the products in the initial reaction, so we change the sign of the cell potential to a negative value of -1.78 V;
  • each coefficient is multiplied by a fraction of \frac{1}{2}. It doesn't influence the value of the cell potential.

Thus, we have a cell of E = -1.78 V.
