A carbonhydrate made up of two sugar units is a?
disacharide
WHAT carbohydrate is a monossacharide?
Mono(single)-saccharides are single sugar units. with glucose and fructose being two examples of mono-saccharides. All carbohydrates are made up of linked mono-saccharides. and it is the type quantity and the way that they are linked which defines the type of carbohydrate and how your body reacts to it.
Is disaccharide a simple or complex carbohydrate?
Compared to a monosaccharide carbohydrate, it is more complex (compare the ''di'' meaning two to the ''mono'' meaning one) as it is composed of, to put it simply, two sugar molecules whereas compared to the polysaccharide (''poly'' meaning many) carbohydrate made up of more than two sugar molecules, it is simple. I guess its all relative. :) Hope that helps you!
What monosaccharide is starch composed of?
Starch is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide, as it is a polymer of many sugar units. A disaccharide would contain just two units (for example, sucrose).
What molecule is in carbohydrates?
Mono-carbohydrates (a monomer, eg. glucose) are structural units of a polycarbohydrate.Example:Glucose is the monomer of at least three carbohydrate polymers:starch (two different poly-alpha-glucoses: amylose and amylopectin) andcellulose (poly-beta-glucose)
What sugars contain two sugar units?
Disaccharides
Is C2H6O carbohydrates?
Glucose is a simple sugar which is also a carbohydrate.
What is the main difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide?
A monosaccharide is just one carbon ring and is very soluble , example : glucose. A disaccharide consists of 2 carbon rings and is partially soluble , example : lactose ( galactose + glucose = lactose)
Structural formula of cellulose?
The structural formula of sucrose is C12H22O11. Sucrose's common name is table sugar, and is made up of two sugar units.
What is the name of malt sugar?
Maltose. Two units of bonded glucose.
How can two gases and water make sugar?
sugars are a carbohydrate made up of the elements hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. At room temperature, carbon is a solid and the other two are gasses. Under the right conditios hydrogen and oxygen can form water; and carbon, hydrogen and oxygen can form sugar molecules.
Is a carbohydrate a micronutrient?
Yes, a carbohydrate is a molecule made up of sugar molecules bonded together.There are monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates which are sugar molecules--fructose, glucose are part of this group. They are also called "simple sugars"There are disaccharides, sugars made up of two linked monosaccharides. Lactose, maltose and sucrose are part of this group.There are polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, longer "chains" and "branches" made up of several monosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates with between two and nine "simple sugar" molecules attached together.Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides.Cellulose and chitin are also polysaccharides, although technically not nutrients as the body does not digest them.
