B. What do you think is the chemical formula for this amylose?
*The previous question asked how many water molecules are released when the 4-glucose amylose forms*

Respuesta :

Answer:

The chemical formular of amylose is( C6H10O5)n, Where  the value of n= ranges from 300- 3000.These element are held together by alpha 1-4 glycosidic bonds in starch molecule( which contains amylose and amylopectin.) Both molecules are the chemical build up of starch.

Since water molecules are formed from the combination of OH and H atoms from each of the  glucose molecule, with each of the   glucose molecules either given out  OH, H, OH, H  atoms, as there are 4 glucose molecules, and 3 water molecules can be formed from 4-glucose molecule, Hence 3 water molecules will be liberated during condensation.

Explanation:

The chemical formula for the amylose is (C₆H₁₀O₅)n.

An amylose is a polysaccharide means it is made up of many monosaccharide. A starch is a complex polysaccharide which is made up of a large number of glucose. These glucose joined together by glycosidic bonds.

Two types of molecules comprise a pure starch i.e. amylose and amylopectin. The starch is the storage of glucose molecules in plant body. Three water molecules are released when the 4-glucose amylose forms so we can conclude that the chemical formula for the amylose is (C₆H₁₀O₅)n.
