Question

All of the following are TRUE regarding carbohydrate features

EXCEPT:






Carbohydrates, when linked to proteins or lipids, can serve as
markers of cellular identity or mediators of cell signaling.






The spatial arrangement of groups around asymmetric carbons
affects the binding activity and function of the sugar.






Among the sugars, glucose is the most rapidly used energy source
for almost all cells.






Between the linear and ring structures, chemical equilibrium
greatly favors the linear arrangement.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - Between the linear and ring structures, chemical equilibrium greatly favors the linear arrangement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbohydrate is also serve as the molecular marker if it is linked to the protein or lipids as perform cellular identity or mediator for the cell signalling. so the fist option is true.

The binding activity and the function is greatly influenced and based on the spatial arrangements of groups around the carbon. So the option two is also true.

Glucose is the most common sugar among all the sugars energy for almost every cell as. Glucose is the simplest form of the sugar that is utilize by the most of the source of energy. So the option third is also correct.

The chemical equilibrium greatly favors the ring structure in between linear and ring structures. Thus the option fourth is wrong statement.

Thus, the correct answer is - Between the linear and ring structures, chemical equilibrium greatly favors the linear arrangement.
