Glucose Definition and 64 Threads

Hi. In class recently, we performed a reaction where we added potassium permanganate solution to a solution of sodium hydroxide, followed by a few grains of glucose. The resulting solution was green for a short time, and then quickly went to an orange colour. Im not very sure about what...

is there a site with this? i want to see how the ref. index. of a soln of glucose varies with concentration. can someone tell me if my prediction that as concentration increase, ref. index increases is correct?

Just realized wrong forum...sorry. I need some urgent help with this please! This is referring to my glucose analysis coursework, using Quantitative Benedicts solution (with potassium thiocyanate) and titrations to find out how much glucose is present in Lucozade and Powerade. I was...

Does anybody know the possible products of the degredation of Glucose, more specifically in a solution of HCl (0.1-2 mol.dm^-3)? I've tried searching on the internet but caanot find any specifics. Thank's in advance.

Can anyone tell me what kinds of food contain high concentrate of glucose? thank you.

Can anybody tell me what the hormone that causes the reabsorption of glucose in the nephrons is? Thanks.

why the rate of glucose consumption dectrases when yeast cells cultured under anaerobic conditions are exposed to oxygen? :confused: :confused: :confused:

A sample of glucose (C6H12O6) contains 0.75 moles of Oxygen. How many moles of hydrogen does this sample contain? For this problem I was thinking that you might use some kind of ratio between hydrogen and oxygen, but I didn't quite know what to do with carbon? Thanks! :biggrin:

Condensation reactions occur between the OH and H of C 1,4 and 6 to form polysaccharides - why do we not get reaction at C 2 or 3? ( 5 is obvious since it is not attached to H or OH ) Thanks. :smile:

How does in terms of energy, photosynthesis, differ from from a chemical reaction that breaks down glucose? Kinda vague...

The presence of insulin increases the activity of the GLUT4 glucose transporters and not the actual number of the transporters. In a freeze fracture, it appeared that the GLUT4s moved from the internal membrane into the plasma membrane. I am asked to deduce the mechanism by which glucose...

suppose that glucose is the greatest source of energy for yeast. why is that? (during fermentation, anaerobic respiration) aside from that, what are the possible causes of changes in temperature which can affect the fermentation or anaerobic respiration of yeast? aside from ...perhaps, the...

Does the glucose synthesised inside the chloroplast diffuse into the cytplasm to be used by whatever part of the cell needs it, or is there some sort of active transport going on?

pyruvate ---> glucose ok so my professor gave us the task of synthesizing glucose from pyruvate and I'm stuck somewhere near the middle . showing all my work so far would clutter this thread quite a bit so i'll simplify. pyruvate -> oxaloacetate -> phosphoenolpyruvate ->...
