Is the ethylene gas that is used to ripen tomatoes quickly in supermarkets safe? Ethylene gas is produced naturally by most fruits, such as tomatoes, bananas, peaches, and avocados, and it promotes ripening. Most tomatoes today are picked green and transported unripe to protect them from bruising and spoilage.
Galactose (galacto- + -ose, milk sugar), sometimes abbreviated Gal, is a monosaccharide sugar that is less sweet than glucose and fructose.It is a C-4 epimer of glucose. Galactan is a polymer of the sugar galactose found in hemicellulose.Galactan can be converted to galactose by hydrolysis.alactose is a monosaccharide. When combined with glucose (monosaccharide), through a condensation reaction, the result is the disaccharide lactose. The hydrolysis of lactose to glucose and galactose is catalyzed by the enzymes lactase and Î²-galactosidase.
What type of bond is formed between two sugars in a disaccharide? Show transcribed image text Part A Review Figure 5.2. How do the structures of glucose and galactose differ? Glucose Galactose OH HO OH OH Ho Ho Glucose is an aldose; galactose is a ketose Glucose has more hydrogen and fewer oxygen atoms than galactose. Glucose is a hexose; galactose is a pentose The spatial arrangement of the hydroxyl group on the fourth carbon is different. 100% (1 rating)
