Binding protein Glycosyltransferases: Enzymes the synthesize oligosaccharides epimers: monosaccharides that differ at a single C atom Starch: Storage form of glucose in plants Carbohydrates: (CH2O)n Proteoglycan: Glycoprotein containi...
An organic molecule reacts with O2 to produce carbon dioxide and water Special kind of redox reaction For organic reactions: (oxidation and reduction) No metal involved, such as combustion rxn, not always easy to tell when no metals so have set of rules to help us decide ...
O2 is a by product of the lgiht reaction. the dark reaction can occur with or without light, as long as ATP and NADPH and H+ are present. PGAL is made during thd dark reaction from CO2 and ribulose. six turns of the calvin cycle are needed to produce a glucose molecule applying the...
