Question

Which is smallest to biggest glucose,starch,protein,carbon,water,amino,oxygen

Answer 1

Smallest to biggest order is as follows.

C < O < Amino < Water < Glucose < Starch < protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given atoms or molecules and their atomic masses is as follows.

Glucose -
`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)` - 180 g/mol

Starch -
`C_(27)H_(48)O_(20)`- 692.7 g/mol

Protein -
`R-CH(NH_(2))COOH` - it is vary for different proteins.

Carbon - C - 12 g/mol

Water -
`H_(2)O`- 18 g/mol

Amino -
`NH_(3)`- 17 g/mol

Oxygen - O - 16 g/mol

Increase the molar mass increases size of the molecules.

Therefore, Smallest to biggest order is as follows.

C < O < Amino < Water < Glucose < Starch < protein.
