Which of the following statements about maltose are correct?

Biology
2 answers:

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.

1. How many trials did it take for half of the Virtualium atoms to decay?
Elis [28]

Answer:

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. Taking one atom of 14C, this will either have decayed after 5,730 years, or it will not. But if this experiment is repeated again and again, it will be seen that the atom decays within the half life 50% of the time.
