Which of the following statements about maltose are correct?

Biology

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.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

E. are found in nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria AND are used to protect nitrogenase.

Explanation:

Heterocysts are specialized cellular compartments found in nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria. They provide the ideal anaerobic environment for nitrogen fixation since nitrogenase enzyme cant work in presence of oxygen. Hence, in a cyanobacteria both the oxygen requiring photosynthesis process and the  oxygen sensitive nitrogen fixation process takes place simultaneously.

Heterocysts have an additional cell wall made of glycolipid that provides a hydrophobic barrier to oxygen. They are involved in production of nitrogenase and other proteins that are required for nitrogen fixation. They also degrade photosystem II which is responsible for producing oxygen and produce proteins which remove any remaining oxygen.

Mice eat corn. Hawks eat mice. Which term describes the corn in this food chain?
DENIUS [597]
C. producer, the corn creates its own 'food' with photosynthesis. It's easier to remember as a flow chart producer(typically plants)->primary consumer(mostly herbivores)->secondary consumer(predators and other meat eaters) and decomposers(usually fungus) eat basically everything.

What is transport sugar
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Summary Sugar Transport. Sugars, which are formed by the plant during photosynthesis, are an essential component of plant nutrition. Like water, sugar (usually in the form of sucrose, though glucose is the original photosynthetic product) is carried throughout the parts of the plant by the vascular system.
