Is protein a small or large molecule?

Answer 1

A starch molecules is technically any polymer of sugar. These polysaccharides may be composed of as few as three sugar molecules and can stretch into the thousands and millions of sugar subunits in nature.

Answer 2

Small. Glucose is the simplest of all sugars C6H12O6 (with the numbers smsll and subscript). This is why glucose is given to athlletes or anyone requiring energy quickly, as its small molecules are quickly absorbed into the blood. Other carbohydrates have larger molecules (like sucrose - normal sugar - which has a molecule that resembles 2 glucose molecules joined together) or giant molecules (like starch) all of which have to be broken down by enzymes in the body to produce glucose so that it can be absorbed into the blood. This takes time, and so other 'large' carbohydrates take longer to have an effect than small ones like glucose.

Answer 3

Glucose monomers are combined in two different {chemical bonding} configurations.

In Plants, for structural purposes, glucose monomers combine to form cellulose.

In Animals, for other purposes, glucose monomers combine to form glycogen.

Answer 4

yes my Biology teacher said that starch is a macromolecule......in fact i am trying to do a project on it :-(

Answer 5

Glucose is the sub-unit ( building block ) of carbohydrates which are macromolecules.

Answer 6

yes, and it takes a while to break it down, just like how it takes a while to burn caloires(which is a type of glocose) glocose is sugar

Answer 7

Yes. It is a functional carbohydrate that is used as an energy storage compound in animals. When marathon runners hit "the wall," they have run out of glycogen.

Answer 8

Large molecules

Answer 9

glucose is not a macromolecule

Answer 10

It is a carbohydrate. It is a monomer
