An amylose chain is 5000 glucose units long. At how many places must it be cleaved to reduce the average length to 2500 units? To 1000 units? To 200 units? What percentage of the glycosidic links are hydrolyzed in each case? (Even partial hydrolysis can drastically alter the physical properties of polysaccharides and thus affect their structural role in organisms.)

Which of the following differentiates chitin with cellulose? Chitin has the alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkage O Chitin has an amino derivative of glucose O Chitin is a polysaccharide and cellulose is a disaccharide Chitin has the beta (1-4) glycosidic linkage.
As sweet as sucrose is, an equimolar mixture of its constituent monosaccharides, D-glucose and D-fructose, is sweeter. Besides enhancingsweetness, fructose has hygroscopic properties that improve the texture of foods, reducing crystallization and increasing moisture. In the food industry, hydrolyzed sucrose is called invert sugar, and the yeast enzymethat hydrolyzes it is called invertase. The hydrolysis reaction is generally monitored by measuring the specific rotation of the solution, which is positive (+66.4°) for sucrose, but becomes negative (inverts) as more D-glucose (specific rotation = +52.7°) and D-fructose (specific rotation = −92°) form. From what you know about the chemistry of the glycosidic bond, how would you hydrolyze sucrose to invert sugar nonenzymatically in a home kitchen?
