What is a reducing sugar?

Biology
1 answer:
icang [17]3 years ago
4 0
Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.

Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.

Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.

The medial cord is medial to the axillary artery and is formed by the ______ division of the inferior trunk; it contains portion
SpyIntel [72]

The medial cord is formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk.

It contains portions of nerves C8-T1.

             The medial cord is present in our neck and is a part of the brachial plexus. It is formed by the anterior division of the lower trunk. It is called the medial because it is medial to the axillary artery.

              The medial cord leads to the formation of the medial pectoral nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of the arm, and medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm.

               The nerves labeled as C refer to the nerves affecting the motor system in our neck and upper limb. Thus nerves from C8 work for the motor conventions of our upper limb and neck.

              The nerves labeled as T are spread over our chest, shoulders, and hands. Thus, the nerve T1 works in the upper part of our body.

Describe the type of plants that serve as pioneer species, intermediate species, and climax community species in secondary succe
MissTica
In secondary succession, the pioneer species are plants that are adapted to exploit disturbances rather than bare rock. They typically include plants such as grasses, birch trees, and fireweed. Organic matter from the pioneer species improves the soil so other trees and plants can move into the area.

If a blood cell is placed into a solution of 10M salt (highly salty) what would you expect to occur?
steposvetlana [31]
The blood cell will lose water and will undergo lysis.

Cell membrane is permeable to water and can get/lose water via osmosis. Osmosis is induced by the gradient of concentration of the solution. In this case, the 10M salt solution has a very high oncotic pressure that it will attract nearby water. That means the water inside the cells will be taken into the solution and cell will continue to shrink and then die.
