Answer: A long, straight glucose chain (a major constituent of starch)

Explanation: Starch is mostly amylose (straight chain glucose polymer) but has varying amounts of branched glucose chains (amylopectin).

Fatty acids are hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached, so they are hydrophobic (don't mix with water) at one end and hydrophilic (water soluble at the COOH end)

Simple carboxylic acids don't have a long enough hydrocarbon chain to have this characteristic, e.g. CH3COOH acetic acid

Typical fatty acids found in nature include stearic acid with an 18-carbon chain

CH3-(CH2)16-COOH

What activation energy was used to start the chemical reaction in the burning marshmallow?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, let's understand some terms

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to proceed. Under normal condition, when the activation energy is high, it takes longer for the reaction to proceed than when it is low.

The burning of marshmallow is an exothermic reaction as it involves the transfer of heat energy into the environment.
