15. If true chemical bonds bind atoms together to form a molecule through electron sharing, what is special about a Hydrogen Bond that makes it not a true chemical bond?
My Answer: B) Unequal distributions of the protons generates partial charges
Correct Answer: A) Electrons are shared unequally between different atoms
Why my answer was wrong: I did not realize that the answer says, “protons,” instead of, “electrons.” The protons are not distributed from the nucleus, because if they were, the element would change entirely. The electrons are the only subatomic particles that are involved in chemical bonding.
Justification for correct answer: In a hydrogen bonds, the attractions are electromagnetic, and not chemical. The hydrogen atoms are …show more content…
“Amylase,” is an enzyme that breaks starches into its component building blocks. What molecules would you get if you mixed plant starches with a little Amylase?
My Answer: A) Cellulose
Correct Answer: B) Sugars
Why my answer was wrong: I chose the answer to be cellulose, because on September 9, during class, we talked about sugars, starches, and cellulose, and at the bottom of my paper, I wrote that they were related. I think I was confused, and just thought that the cellulose and starches were related, and I chose that answer, not thinking about the sugars. My answer was wrong because if amylase were to be added to plant starches, sugars would remain, not cellulose. Sugars are the building blocks of starches.
Justification for correct answer: The correct answer is, ‘sugars,’ because sugars are the building blocks of starches. They are also the building blocks of cellulose, which is why I think I got the answer incorrect.
Answer was found in: We took notes on the structure of sugar rings, starches, and cellulose, on September 9, and there were diagrams on the board explaining each structure.
