Which of the following lists contains only polysaccharides? a. sucrose, starch, cellulose b. starch, sodium, chlorine c. cellulose, water, glycogen d. glycogen, cellulose, starch e. glucose, fructose, lactose

6. In an experiment with dialysis tubing, you fill the tube with a 20% glucose solution. You place the dialysis tubing bag in a beaker containing a 40% glucose solution. Assume that the dialysis membrane is permeable to both water and glucose. Which of the following will occur? (Hint: Draw a diagram of the experimental setup.) a. water will leave the bag; glucose will enter the bag b. water will leave the bag; glucose will leave the bag c. water will enter the bag; glucose will enter the bag d. water will enter the bag; glucose will leave the bag e. glucose will remain in the bag; equal amounts of water will enter and leave the bag 7. After consulting your friends and family, you've assembled a list of foods and beverages recommended to prevent your acid indigestion problem. Based on your recent studies of the pH scale, which would be most helpful? a. a coke (pH 3) b. milk of magnesia (pH 10) c. black coffee (pH 5) d. lemon juice (pH 2) e. distilled water (pH 7) 8. Use the diagram below to match the description to the correct portion of the diagram.

If this diagram showed glycogen being hydrolyzed, which letter would represent the result? a. C b. D c. B d. A

9. Name the molecule being added at letter D.

Correct Answer: Water, H2O 10. If this diagram represents the hydrolysis of cellulose, name the molecules produced

Correct Answer: glucose molecules

11. If you were to attach all the monomers shown how many additional covalent bonds would be needed?

Correct Answer: Three, 3 12. The positively charged particles of an atom are called protons. 13. Organic compounds ALL contain the element carbon. 14. In which type of chemical bond are the electrons shared between atoms? covalent bonds 15. You're comparing three different atoms. One type has 9 protons in the nucleus, the second has 10 protons, and the third has 11 protons. Explain each answer in detail. In each answer, include a diagram showing the number of electrons in each shell of the atom. Plagiarism regulations will be strictly enforced. Use your OWN words!! a. Which atom would be least likely to react with other atoms? Why? b. Which would form a positively charged ion? Why? Correct Answer: Electron shell of atom with 9 protons - 2, 7 Electron shell of atom with 10 protons - 2, 8 Electron shell of atom with 10 protons - 2, 8, 1 a. The atom with 10 protons will be the least likely to react with another atom because its outermost shell is full. It will not gain or accept electrons. b. The atom with 11 protons will form a positively charged ion because it has one electron in its outermost shell and will donate this electron leaving it with more protons than electrons.

16. (Reminder: Plagiarism is NEVER acceptable. Explain in your OWN words!!) a. List two risk factors for type II (adult onset) diabetes that apply to the average PGCC student. b. Suggest two ways to reduce the risk of type II diabetes in our student body. Correct Answer: a. Risk factors for type II diabetes include: inactivity, obesity, family history and ethnicity b. Exercise programs and weight management programs
