Which of the following statements about maltose are correct?

Biology
2 answers:
amm18123 years ago

Answer: The three statements are correct.

Explanation: Maltose is a disaccharide consisting of two D-glucose (monosaccharide) units joined covalently by an O-glycosidic bond between carbon 1 (C-1) of one glucose unit and carbon 4 (C-4) of another glucose unit. O-glycosidic bond is formed when a hydroxyl group of one sugar reacts with the anorexic carbon of another sugar molecule.

Maltose dissolves in water, therefore it is soluble in water.

Maltose is a reducing disaccharide because the anomeric carbon atom (C-1) of the second glucose residue can be oxidized to a carboxyl group. Thus maltose is reducing sugar because it is capable of reducing ferric or cupric ion. Reducing sugars reduce cupric Cu2+ or ferric ions Fe3+ and have their carbonyl carbon oxidized to a carboxyl group.

Answer:

All the three statements about maltose are correct.

Explanation:

1) Maltose is formed from the combination of two same type of monosaccharide i. e. two glucose molecules.

2) Maltose is soluble in water. Its solubility value is 1.080 g/mL.

3) Maltose is a reducing sugar because it act as a reducing agent due to the presence of aldehyde group with glucose molecules.

Which of the following conversion factors would you use to change 18 meters to kilometers?
Y_Kistochka [10]
In converting a number with the unit of meter into kilometer we must use the conversion factor 1 km per 1000 meters.This is because in 1 kilometer there are 1000 meters and then the unit to be converted is already in meter so we need to divide it for us to convert.

Which of the following statements about eutrophication is TRUE?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

C. It is driven by natural processes like rock weathering and nitrogen fixation.

Explanation:

It has been discovered that eutrophication occurs through a gradual increase in the deposition of phosphorus and nitrogen and other plants nutrients in the water bodies.

This will allow the maximum growth of algae on the surface of the water.

It has been discovered that eutrophication is not good for the water bodies. This is because, the excess growth of algae on the surface of the water will prevent the sunlight from penetrating the water, thereby preventing the plants inside the water from making use of the sunlight to carryout photosynthesis. Also, it will prevent oxygen from entering, thereby depriving the organisms in the water from having the necessary oxygen needed for respiration.
