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

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.

answer; ///(b) it is composed of four protein chains and four heme groups;

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
