hey:P i was just confused about some things . i would appreciate if someone would explain these answers to me . Thank you .
why is water able to absorb alot of energy ? -why are water molecules held further apart in ice than in water? -how does glucoses structure make it the main energy source? -what enzymes that break down the molecule to get at the glycosidic bonds easily in amylopectin? and why do they need to do that ?

Hi these are what i think - Water can absorb a lot of energy because of the large number of hydrogen bonds that hold water molecules together - not sure sorry - I think its because its a monosaccharide so it doesnt need to be hydrolyzed/digested for it to be absorbed by the body - Apparently amylase breaks down amylopectin since it is a starch. The glycosidic bonds between the amylopectin are hydrolyzed and broken by this enzyme into smaller subunits of sugar (maybe maltose, a disaccharide?)

1) probs due to the hydrogen bonds 2) probs also due to hydrogen bonds 3) it acts as a substrate for ATP (i think) 4) never heard of hat enzymes...
