Hello, I have too draw structural diagrams on biomolecuels in their reaction stages. For examples a hexose (glucose) and a pentose (fructose) forming a disaccharide (sucrose). One of my questions says "ethanol" and I am not sure what to draw. I searched online and ...

... Yeah, the enzyme can work in both directions, but you need to emphasis the physiological role. 4. Glucose and fructose are not isomers of a hexose. They are isomers of one another, and both of them are hexoses. 5. I would mention the Rubisco enzyme. It's important.

Yeast fermentation with different carbohydrates

... result, sucrose had the highest reading, a small but significant amount higher than glucose and I thought that this could be due to the fact that hexose and pentose carbohydrates are fermented by different enzymes or some other factor, or simply an error? Any help as immediate as possible (since ...

photosynthesis

... cycling through. Note that it takes 2 glyceraldehyde 3-P molecules for the cell to make a fructose and later a glucose (both are isomers of a hexose.) A series of reactions uses the energy from 6ATP to rearrange the atoms of the 10 glyceraldehyde 3-P to forming another 6 ribulosebisphosphate ...
