Are glycogen and starch simple carbohydrates?
Nope they are complex.
What are the monomers of complex carbohydrates?
the monomers of complex carbohydrates, or polysaccharides such as glycogen, starch, and cellulose are monosaccharides such as glucose.
What is the monomer of the macromolecules?
Starch and Glycogen is a polymer made up of glucose monomers. When you think of Starch, think of potatoes. When you think of Glycogen, think of your energy storage (it's actually a secondary storage)
What are the two types of polysaccharides?
simple and complex carbohydrates
The monomer that makes up glutose starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
The monomer that makes up glycogen starch and cellulose is the monasaccharide?
How do you obtain starch?
Starches are carbohydrates. Starch in plants is like glycogen in animals: it is the storage form of carbohydrates. Starches are large chains of glucose molecules. Complex carbohydrates are primarily starches, while simple carbohydrates are sugars. So, you get starch when you consume complex carbohydrates.
The polysaccharides are known as carbohydrates?
Yes polysaccharides are carbohydrates. These are complex carbohydrates as they consist of long (sometimes) branched sturctures. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, cellulose and glycogen.
What are The three subcategories of carbohydrates?
sugars, glucose, starch in plants and glycogen
Is your body capable of converting starch into glycogen?
Glycogen. Starch is exclusive to plant storage of carbohydrates.
What are some examples of complex carbohydrates?
Considering that complex carbohydrates or oligosaccharides are those that contain variable numbers of N-acetyllactosamine units, as well as sialic acid and/or fucose residues linked to the core, the best examples of these kinds of complex molecules, are those present in the red cell cytoplasmic membranes from where the "blood types" are distinguished.
What carbohydrates a polysaccharide?
starch cellulose glycogen
What is meant by saying glucose molecules are the building blocks of carbohydrates?
The complex carbohydrates (cellulose, starch, and glycogen) are polysaccharides composed of chemically bonded glucose molecules.
