Which is an example of dehydration synthesis? A) DNA synthesis from nucleotides B) Conversions of proteins into its amino acids C) Conversions of lipids in fatty acids

OpenStudy (clalgee):

I would suggest choosing A) DNA synthesis from nucleotides because the other two listed are hydrolysis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you !

OpenStudy (clalgee):

Your welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will . I have five so hang on !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of these polymers is responsible for your inheritance? A) Carbohydrates B) DNA C) lipids

OpenStudy (somy):

what do u think?

OpenStudy (clalgee):

I would choose B) DNA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have NO clue . . Im so confused .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was DNA !

OpenStudy (somy):

@Clalgee giving straight answers is against OS rules...u can get suspended for that, so be careful :)

OpenStudy (clalgee):

It is DNA because DNA contains Genetic Inheritance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of these processes is an example of hydrolysis? A) Conversion of glucose units into starch B) Conversion of fructose and glucose units to form sucrose C) Conversion of cellulose into glucose units

OpenStudy (somy):

any guesses at least?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B ?

OpenStudy (bioepic):

Which is larger: fructose/glucose or sucrose?

OpenStudy (somy):

wrong

OpenStudy (bioepic):

"Hydrolysis means breaking down".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Glucose ? I think .

OpenStudy (bioepic):

yeah

OpenStudy (bioepic):

wait

OpenStudy (bioepic):

no

OpenStudy (bioepic):

glucose and fructose make up sucrose

OpenStudy (somy):

have you heard about glycosidic bond?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope .

OpenStudy (bioepic):

Search the chemical formulas to find out.

OpenStudy (bioepic):

Hydrolysis breaks the glycosidic bond converting sucrose into glucose and fructose. Hydrolysis is, however, so slow that solutions of sucrose can sit for years with negligible change. If the enzyme sucrase is added, however, the reaction will proceed rapidly.[7] Hydrolysis can also be accelerated with acids, such as cream of tartar or lemon juice, both weak acids. Likewise, gastric acidity converts sucrose to glucose and fructose during digestion.

OpenStudy (bioepic):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose#Hydrolysis

OpenStudy (somy):

glycosidic is formed when 2 carbohydrates join together, result of glycosindic bond is removal of water

OpenStudy (somy):

now the opposite of this is going to be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So C ?

OpenStudy (somy):

bingo :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you !

OpenStudy (somy):

u r welcome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I ask you one more ?

OpenStudy (somy):

sure :) but open a new question. it's not allowed to put several questions in 1 question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok .

OpenStudy (somy):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wrote one .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is A.
