Answer:

Explanation:

Glucose is a sugar, highly soluble in water because it has lots of polar hydroxyl groups (-OH) which can form hydrogen-bonds with water molecules. These types of bonds are intermolecular forces which are present in other macromolecules like the DNA or proteins.

Cholesterol and triglycerids are lipids. These have long chains of hydrocarbons, which are non polar and therefore insoluble in water.

Blood is made of a solid and a liquid part. The solid part contains cells. The liquid part (plasma), is made of water, salts, and proteins. Glucose and cholesterol/triglycerids travel in the liquid part of the blood, in an aqueous environment. Because the lipids are not soluble, they need to travel with a carrier protein that keeps them protected from the surrounding water.

Salad vegetables are cut and placed in plain water. Why?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Not only does soaking produce rid it of harmful germs or chemicals, but it can also be used to revitalize produce for a better taste and longer life. If you purchase local, organic fruits and vegetables that contain no chemicals or harmful preservatives, you can use warm water to rinse your produce.

Explanation:

Fun facts:

Through osmosis, water naturally moves from areas of low salt concentrations to areas of high salt concentrations. ... Consequently, the water in a leaf of lettuce that is soaking in salt water will migrate out of the lettuce leaving a mushy leaf behind.

goldenfox [79]

Thew correct answer is amino-acids

Amino acids are essential to all life on earth. They are organic molecules comprised out of the amino (NH2) and acidic ( COOH) compound. The twenty amino acids can bound to one another with peptide bonds and form different complex structures called proteins. Proteins are important structural part of cells, enzymes and hormones, and without them the life as we know couldn't exist.

Glucose, labeled with 14C in different carbon atoms, is added to a crude extract of a tissue rich in enzymes of the pentose phos

horsena [70]

Answer:

A. C-1

Explanation:

During the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose 6-phosphate is first converted into 6-phosphoglucono-lactone in the reaction catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The 6-phosphoglucono-lactone is then converted into 6-phospho-gluconate which in turn undergoes decarboxylation to form D-ribulose 5-phosphate and the C-1 of original glucose 6-phosphate is released in form of CO2.

Therefore, to observe the most rapid production of labeled carbon atom in form of CO2, the C-1 of glucose should be labeled.
