What is the difference between poly and monosaccharides?
Monosaccharides are a type of simple carbohydrate, or simple sugar. A common example is glucose, which is found in the blood.
one sugar (mono means one easy way to remember it)
Polysaccharides are composed in nutrition but the mayger one is food sciece because food is full of polysaccharides.
The process of dehydration synthesis bonds monosaccharides together to form disaccharides and polysaccharides.
Two Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides are simple sugars which are made of a single sugar molecule eg glucose, lactose, fructose.Disaccharides are double sugars, formed from two monosaccharides linked together by a chemical bond (a glycosidic bond) eg lactose (milk sugar) consists of glucose and galactose combined together.Polysaccharides ("many" sugars) are made of many (eg hundreds) monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds eg starch and cellulose are made from glucose molecules linked to form long chains.Read more: What_is_mono-di_and_polysaccharides
Fructose and glucose are found in sucrose.
Polysaccharides are made up of of monosaccharides.
fructose
They are called polysaccharides. They are made up of many monosaccharides
Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides made by plants. Glucose is a simple aldose, fructose is a ketose.
Starch and cellulose
Polysaccharides
Monosaccharides are basic units of carbohydrates; you could say that disaccharides and polysaccharides contain units called monosaccharides. Glycogen, starch, cellulose are examples of substances made up of monosaccharides.
A polysaccharide is a carbohydrate. It is not made of protein but of monosaccharides.
The composition of carbohydrates include carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are made from simple sugars which are known as monosaccharides.
