Why does maltose have both alpha and beta anomers?

Biology

Answer:

Maltose is a disaccharide sugar made up of two units of glucose.

In cyclic structure, the glucose exists in two anomeric forms; alpha and beta.

These glucose units can either joined by α (1→4) glycosidic bond or by β (1→4) glycosidic bond.

Thus, the maltose exists in two anomeric form alpha and beta.

Maltose is a disaccharide that made of 2 glucose units. Each glucose unit can happen as alpha or beta. So, "α" or "β" is grounded on the relation between the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon and the furthest chiral center in the ring. The α anomer is the one in which these two locations have the same configuration; they are opposite in the β anomer.

If 84 J of work are exerted to pull a wagon, how much force does it take to pull the wagon 7.0 m? Round your answer to the neare
nirvana33 [79]
Work is said to be done when an object moves due to a force applied. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied and the distance traveled due to the force. It is expressed as:

W = Force x distance

W = 84 J = F (7.0 m)
F = 12 N

Genetic disorders can result when sister chromatids fail to separate properly
worty [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Genetic disorder that can result when sister chromatids fail to separate properly is likely to occur in meta-phase (m-phase) because in mitosis during m-phase there is separation of DNA to two equal halves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Genetic disorder is the problem that is caused by the abnormal activities in gene.
  • This is also called mutation which may cause due to error during replication of DNA and also due to some environmental factors such as radiation exposure, smokes.
  • So, during meta-phase, genes might not separate and genetic disorder might happen.
