Many Other Sugars Besides Glucose Exhibit Mutarotation

question 96

Essay

Many other sugars besides glucose exhibit mutarotation.For example,α-d-galactopyranose has [α]_D = +150.7,and β-d-galactopyranose has [α]_D = +52.8.Show how the equilibrium percentages of α and β anomers can be calculated from the equilibrium specific rotation of +80.2.

Identify the key processes involved in the movement of water, nutrients, and sugars in plants.

Explain the concepts of osmosis, diffusion, and translocation as they relate to plant transport systems.

Describe how pressure gradients and turgor pressure influence plant water movement.

Explain the tension-cohesion model and its significance in the upward movement of water in plants.
