Explain why glucose and galactose do not interconvert as the ring forms open and close again. Select the correct answer below: T

he difference between glucose and galactose occurs at the anomeric carbon. The difference between structures of glucose and galactose occurs at a carbon other than the anomeric carbon. During the opening and closing of the ring, the carbon positions may not change, so the anomeric carbon is always in the same place.

Answer: The difference between structures of glucose and galactose occurs at a carbon other than the anomeric carbon.

Explanation: The cyclic structure of glucose and galactose is cannot be inter converted because the change does not occurs at the anomeric carbon.

It takes place at carbon number 3 ( Fisher's projection)which does not takes place in the opening and closing of the rings.

Anomeric carbon are the carbon that takes place in the opening and closing of the rings.

Hydroxylamine is a mutagen that acts only on cytosine and causes C-->T and G-->A base pair changes (i.e. it causes transit
natulia [17]

Options for the question are not given. They are as follows:

a. arg or lys

b. ala

c. thr

d. leu or ser

e. Only termination codons

Answer:

d. leu or ser

Explanation:

Four codons code for proline amino acid. These are CCT, CCC, CCA, and CCG. Hydroxylamine causes C to change into T or G to change into A.

If first position is changed in each codon:

CCT = TCT (UCU)

CCC = TCC (UCC)

CCA = TCA (UCA)

CCG = TCG (UCG)

These codons produce Serine amino acid.

If second position is changed in each codon:

CCT = CTT (CUU)

CCC = CTC (CUC)

CCA = CTA (CUA)

CCG = CTG (CUG)

These codons produce Leucine amino acid.

Hence, out of the given options, option d. leu or ser is correct.

Are plant and animal cell wastes the same?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Well Plant cells have vacuoles-Animal cells have vacuoles also, however, animal vacuoles are much smaller. Both plant and animal vacuoles serve as storage areas for water, nutrients, and wastes.

So I wouldn't say they are exactly the same but they are the same :l
