Provide an explanation for the fact that α-d-mannose is more stable than β-d-mannose, whereas the opposite is true for glucose.

The explanation behind the stability of α-d-mannose in comparison to β-d-mannose is found in its structure. The α-d-mannose does not have an axial hydroxyl group at C2 while it is found to be present in β-d-mannose. Meanwhile β-d-glucose is more stable than α -d-mannose because of all its OH groups found in the equatorial axis which lessens steric hindrance. 

in the year 2850, humans successfully colonized mars. the martian modules that were constructed could hold only a small population of people. it is now a century later, and the population on mars has grown to 600 people. of the current mars population, 45 people express the recessive phenotype for phenylketon- uria (pku) syndrome (pp genotype).

explanation:

there's no big difference.

explanation:
