Question

Which is smallest to biggest glucose,starch,protein,carbon,water,amino,oxygen

Answer 1

Answer:

Smallest to biggest order is as follows.

C < O < Amino < Water < Glucose < Starch < protein.

Explanation:

The given atoms or molecules and their atomic masses is as follows.

Glucose - $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ - 180 g/mol

Starch - $C_{27}H_{48}O_{20}$- 692.7 g/mol

Protein - $R-CH(NH_{2})COOH$ - it is vary for different proteins.

Carbon - C - 12 g/mol

Water - $H_{2}O$- 18 g/mol

Amino - $NH_{3}$- 17 g/mol

Oxygen - O - 16 g/mol

Increase the molar mass increases size of the molecules.

Therefore, Smallest to biggest order is as follows.

C < O < Amino < Water < Glucose < Starch < protein.
