What is the name of the short chains of glucose units that result from starch breakdown?
What is the name of the short chains of glucose units that result from starch breakdown?
What is the name of the process which long chain carbons are coverted into short chain carbons?
reduction
Why do glycogen starch and cellulose have different functions?
starch: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) Cellulose: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by a beta 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) glycogen: made up of a long chain of glucose bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. However, the glycogen chain of glucoses is a branched chain- it is not one straight chain, it branches out starch is stored as glucose in plants glycogen is stored as glucose in animals cellulose is used as the cell wall of plants
What monomer does cellulose have?
cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose. cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose.
What molecules supply electrons to an electron transport chain?
Glucose. Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced here.
Are Polyaccharides long chain polymers of glucose units?
correct
What are the components of starch?
It is made up a chain of glucose molecules.
Is petrol a short chain hydrocarbon?
Yes, it is infact a short chain molecule :D
Is it true that cellulose is composed of beta glucose molecules and starch is composed of a chain of alpha glucose molecule?
True.
Do glucose make up carbohydrates?
Glucose is a carbohydrate it's a form of sugar molecule, while starch is a chain of glucose
How beta glucose chains are held together to make micro fibrils?
beta glucose chain form H bond with opposite beta glucose chain . H in -OH in individually weak , Thus , more H bind can form and make microfibrils .
What would glycogen be converted to during catabolism?
Glycogen is a long branched chain of glucose so when catabolized it will be converted to glucose.
