Does glucose form polymers with many subunits?

When many glucose subunits join together what do they make?

When many glucose subunits join together, they form a complex carbohydrate called a polysaccharide. This includes polymers such as starch and glycogen, which serve as energy storage molecules in plants and animals, respectively.

Does protein has polymers with many subunits?

Proteins are not polymers.

How many subunits does glucose have?

It has only one. We refer to subunits when we talk about polymers, which long molecules made up of joined monomers, rather like a necklace made of many beads. The beads are the subunits. Glucose is not a polymer, it is a monomer. Amylose, one of the constituents of starch,is made of at least a thousand glucose subunits.

Large organic molecules that are synthesized from multiple subunits are?

Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.

What are large compounds that are composed of many smaller molecular subunits?

Large compounds composed of many smaller molecular subunits are known as polymers. Polymers are macromolecules formed by repeating units called monomers, which are linked together through chemical bonds. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and plastics.

Subunits that make up polymers?

It's the monomer, the unit that repeats itself along the polymer.

What is a polynomal?

That's not a word, dumbs. A POLYMER is a molecule composed of many monomers (subunits). Some examples of Polymers are... -Starch: a few hundred glucose molecules strung together, used by plants such as potatoes to store chemical energy -Glycogen: used to store chemical energy in animals, made of long strings of glucose -Proteins: composed of many amino acids strung together

When monomers combine they form what?

Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.

Explain the connection between monomers and polymers?

Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.

How are lipids and carbohydrates different?

A lipid is: 1) a hydrophobic hydrocarbon (meaning: a usually very large molecule that doesn't like water (hydrophobic) and is made up of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H))If you try to mix oil and water the two don't mix. 2) Lipids are not made from small subunits to make a long molecule (called a polymer)- lipids are not polymers. The class of lipids most important to Biology are: 1) Fats, 2) phospholipids (cell membranes are composed of this lipid), 3) steroids (testosterone for example), and to a lesser degree wax. There are many other types of lipids. Carbohydrates are: hydrophilic (water liking) molecules that consist of different combinations of CH2O (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) in that arrangement. 2) these molecules form polymers from simple subunits. Classes of Carbohydrate: Sugar (sucrose is table sugar, glucose used in respiration), starch (made by plants), glycogen (storage sugar made by humans in the liver and muscle), cellulose (structural component in plant stems)... there are more but these are the important ones. The difference between Carbohydrates (sugars) and Lipids: 1) sugars disolve in water lipids don't 2) sugars are made-up of subunits that form large polymers and lipids are not and don't form polymers. 3)Lipids store more energy than sugars. 4) sugars form stuctural components (cellulose in plants) and lipids form bountaries like the cell membrane due to hydrophobic hydrocarbons.

What is the polymer of sugar?

The polymer of sugar is starch, which is a large molecule made up of many glucose units linked together in a linear chain. Starch is a common carbohydrate found in plants and serves as a storage form of energy.

How glucose and starch are related?

They are related because each of them are sugars.
