Polysaccharides are polymers of what?
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.
What do Polymers of sugars form?
Polymers of sugars form complex carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose in plants, and glycogen in animals. These long chains of sugar molecules serve as energy storage molecules or structural components in cells and tissues.
How are the polymers cellulose and chitin similar?
Both are carbohydrates,Polysaccharides.
Name some polymers that are produced in nature?
There are several polymers in living beings, for example, proteins, DNA, RNA, and polysaccharides.
What Starch and cellulose are?
They are all polysaccharides made of glucose monomers.
What has the author Ryouichi Ito written?
Ryouichi Ito has written: 'Handbook of carbohydrate polymers' -- subject(s): Polymers, Carbohydrates, Polysaccharides, Synthesis
What elements do polysaccharides consist of?
Polysaccharides consist of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic bonds. These monosaccharide units are typically made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms arranged in a specific ratio. Good examples of polysaccharides include starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
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.
How are polysaccharides and proteines similar?
They are both polymers with carbon atoms in its skeleton and O and H atoms in sidegroups. N atoms are unique in proteins
What do polymer chains make?
biomolecules, or macromolecules, such as proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids
What are Macromolecule are starches and glycogen?
Polysaccharides
Are polysaccharides polymers that contain up to 20 different kinds of naturally occurring amino acids?
No. Polysaccharides are sugars, amino acids make up polypeptides (proteins).
