Carbohydrates like glucose can undergo spontaneous rearrangement to give an alternate configuration for the anomeric carbon when the ring is free in solution. However, when glucose is covalently attached to another sugar through C1, this rearrangement cannot occur. Consequently, the configuration of carbohydrate oligomers and polymers is fixed. Why can't glucose rearrange when in a polymer form?

If someone could do the first couple, just so i can see how it's done that would be great! 20 points. complete a dichotomous key for the 10 leaves on the common leaves sheet. the chart provided here allows for 11 pairs of statements. depending on how you build your dichotomous key, you may or may not need all of them, or you may need to add some.

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)—two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
