Cellulose could provide an abundant and cheap form of glucose for humans. Why is cellulose not a source of nutrients for humans?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

Cellulose is one of the most important carbohydrate of the plant that provide structural framework to the plant cells. Cellulose is made of the monomer of the glucose that are linked through the beta glycosidic linkages.

Although cellulose contains large number of glucose but it cannot be used as the nutrient source for humans. Humans and other vertebrates lacks the enzyme cellulase that is required for the digestion of cellulose. Cellulose cannot be broken down in the human body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Describe an experiment to show that water contains hydrogen and oxygen only​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Electrolysis

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water is one such experiment that shows that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms only in the ratio of 2 to 1.

In the electrolysis of water, electricity is passed through acidified water to cause it to decompose.

The electrolysis of water is also known as the electrolysis of dilute tetraoxosulphate  (VI) acid.

At the cathode, H⁺ ions are discharged and hydrogen gas is liberated:

               2H⁺       +     2e⁻     →        H₂

At the anode, both the sulfate ion and hydroxyl ions migrate to this electrode. Only the OH⁻ is selected for preferential discharge due to its lower position in that activity series.

         4OH⁻  →   2H₂O    +    O₂     +     4e⁻

Oxygen gas is produced at the anode.

This electrolysis demonstrates the volumetric composition of water that is, 2 volumes of hydrogen at the cathode and 1 volume of oxygen at the anode.

Calculate the number of grams of oxygen required to convert 48.0 g of glucose to co2 and h2o.
worty [1.4K]

I believe that the balanced chemical reaction is:

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O 

 

So the number of grams of oxygen required is:

mass O2 required = 48 g C6H12O6 * (1 mole C6H12O6 / 180.16 g) * (6 mole O2 / 1 mole C6H12O6) * (32 grams O2 / 1 mole)

<span>mass O2 required = 51.15 grams</span>

Relate the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom to the properties of matter.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The number of electrons, in turn, determines the chemical properties of the atom. Protons contribute to the mass of an atom and provide the positive charge to the nucleus. The number of protons also determines the identity of the element
