1.In aqueous solutions there are three forms of glucose: the α-form (36%), the β-form (64%) and a trace amount of the open-chain form. At equilibrium, the alpha and beta cyclic forms are interconverted by way of the open chain structure. Explain (a) why the cyclic forms exist predominately in solutions, and (b) why the β-form is more abundant than the α-form.

Tolerance to high levels of salinity

Answerd. may include all of these are many definitions of bases: the  brønsted-lowry definition of acids and bases says that bases are proton acceptors.the arrhenius definition of acids and bases says that bases increase [oh⁻] in solution (thereby producing oh⁻ ions)the lewis definition of acids and bases says that bases donate electron pairs.therefore, the sensible answer is that a base may include all of the described characteristics.
