difference between cellulose and maltose is that cellulose is (chiefly in technical texts) while maltose is (carbohydrate) a disaccharide, c12h22o11 formed from the digestion of starch by amylase; is converted to glucose by maltase.
What else can I help you with?
Which can not be digested Sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
cellulose
What does glucose make?
Glucose makes maltose, starch and cellulose.
What is the difference between avicel and microcrystalline cellulose?
There is no difference. Avicel is the brand name of the first microcrystalline cellulose on the market.
Can Maltase hydrolyze cellulose into Maltose?
No. First of all, the name maltase indicates that the enzyme breaks down maltose. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose monomers. Cellulose is an entirely different polysaccharide, composed of many monomers of beta glucose. Second, very few organisms have the ability to hydrolyze cellulose. In most organisms including humans, cellulose passes through our digestive tract without changing chemically. This is what we call "fiber". Even though we can get no nutrients from it, cellulose is good for the muscles lining the small intestine.
Which of following molecules cannot be humans sucrose maltose cellulose fructose?
Cellulose cannot be ingested by humans because our bodies lack the necessary enzymes to break down its beta-linkages. Sucrose, maltose, and fructose are all types of sugars that can be metabolized by the human body for energy.
Can maltose be digested?
Yes Maltose can be digested by the human body. Cellulose can not
Which of the following cannot be digested by humans-sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
Cellulose cannot be digested by humans.Cellulosecellulosehumans cannot digest cellulosecelluloseCelluloseCellulose (aka Fiber) can not be digested by humans because, we don't have the bacteria needed to break down cellulose. Sucrose, Maltose, and Fructose are all disaccharides (carbohydrates/sugars) and are all able to be broken down to glucose in the body.
What affect will amylase have on sucrose?
None. Amylase breaks down starch into sugars, generally into the monosaccharde glucose and disaccharide maltose (double glucose). Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose, and the amylase enzymes are not keyed for this pair and thus cannot split it up. Sucrase is required for that.
What are the differences between Maltose and Cellobiose?
Maltose is a disaccharide,composed of 2 α-D glucose recidues,linked together by an α-1,4 glycosidic bond,It is produced from the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen.WhileCellobiose is a repeating unit of cellulose,composed of two β-D-glucose recidues,linked together by a β-1,4 glycosidic bond.
Does amylase use cellulose as a substrate?
No, amylase does not use cellulose as a substrate. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into simple sugars like maltose and glucose. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that requires other enzymes, like cellulase, for its breakdown.
One difference between plant and animal cell is that animal cells do not have?
chloroplast and large vacuole and cellulose cell wall
What are the similarities between glucose and maltose?
I have that they are both carbohydrates.
