What polysaccharide cannot be digested by humans?
Polysaccharide cannot be used as an energy source by humans because they are hard to break down. Enzymes find it difficult to break them down into glucose for the body to use as energy.
Is polysaccharide a starch?
Yes starch is a polysaccharide. The three most common types of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Starch is a glucose polymer and insoluble in water; they must be digested with amylases.
What polysaccharides do plants store in plastids?
The plants store starch as polysaccharide in their plastids.
These polysaccharide molecules called are made up of long chains of glucose molecules?
Carbohydrates are the molecules made of sugar repeats. Starch, cellulose and glycogen are classical example for the same. They can be digested back to the monomers by the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis reaction such as cellulase or amylase.
Is polysaccharide made of protein?
A polysaccharide is a carbohydrate. It is not made of protein but of monosaccharides.
What substances react in aerobic respiration and where do they come from?
Glucose and oxygen are the reactants. In humans glucose comes from digested food, and oxygen is breathed in from the air. In plants, glucose is made in photosynthesis, and oxygen diffuses in from the air.
Is honey made of honey syrup?
Honey is not made from syrup and it is NOT made of beeswax! It is made from plants, by bees. The bees chew and swallow the juice and pollen from the plants and after it is digested they regurgitate it into the cells of a honey comb.
Is a cellulose a chemical?
Yes. It is a polysaccharide (polymer of sugars) created by plants to form their cell walls.
A carbohydrate made of hundreds of molecules liked together is called an?
A carbohydrate made of hundreds of molecules linked together is called a polysaccharide. An example of a polysaccharide is starch.
What is fecal waste?
Fecal waste is the waste that humans and animals dispose of. This waste is made of digested food from the stomach.
What is polysaccahrides?
a polysaccharide is a macromolecule made of many monosaccharides (e.g. glucose, ribose, fructose). an example is starch, which is a polysaccharide made of glucose
Is flagella a polysaccharide?
No it is not. It is made up of protein
