AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around seeking answers to complex biology questions for extra credit, focusing on the differences between glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and deoxyribose. It also addresses the unique characteristics of sucrose, lactose, and maltose, as well as the structural roles of cellulose versus starch. Additionally, the reasons why unsaturated fatty acids remain liquid at room temperature are explored. The conversation suggests utilizing resources like Wikipedia or biology textbooks for further clarification. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for detailed understanding of these biochemical concepts.

I would like to know the answers for these questions for my ridiculously hard extra credit.
I have researched these questions and found little information and I really don't know what else to do (I need these points bad)
Whats the difference between Glucose Fructose and Galactose and how does ribose and deoxyribose compare to them
What Makes Surose Lactose and Maltose Unique from each other ?
Why is cellulose used for structural strength and starch is not ?
Why are unsaturated fatty acids are mostly liquid at room temperature
What Nucleoties are unstable molecules which carry energy from place to place in the cell and how the unstable molecules work.
Thank you

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
