Which is the largest sucrose glucose glycogen and maltose?
celluloste
What is the function of maltose?
A disaccharide carbohydrate, maltose can be easily hydrolised into 2 glucose molecules. (In humans, such a hydrolysis is accomplished by the enzyme maltase) As such, it is a rather efficient, energy-yielding molecule. (Glucose, as we all know, is a ubiquitous energy-providing molecule)
What advantage does the branched-chain structure of glycogen provide compared with a straight chain of glucose?
There are several advantages because the glycogen molecule is branched. It is a better storage facility for glucose because the branches make it more soluble, and the glycogen is also synthesized more quickly.
Hydrolysis of maltose will give rise to what?
2 glucose
Where are enzymes that break down starch found?
Protines make up enzymes that break down starch, as well as other large moleculse, this process is called hydrolysis. Most enzymes end in "-ase" and work only in specific reactions. Polysaccharides such as glycogen are formed by linking many monosaccharides. The most common polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose. All of these are polymers of glucose. They differ by the type of bond found between glucose molecules. Starch is the storage form of glucose found in plants; glycogen is the storage form in animals. Most glycogen in humans is stored in the liver and muscle. Human saliva also contains an enzyme called amylase. This enzyme helps to turn starch into a sugar called maltose. When your food gets into the small intestine, more amylase is made by the pancreas and this turns the remaining starch into maltose. Another enzyme (maltase) turns all this maltose into glucose. Glucose is then absorbed into the blood.

What is the subtrate and subunit product of amylase?
The Substrate for amylase are starch (amylose and Amylopectin), glycogen, and various Oligosaccharides and the subunit is maltose.

There are several advantages because the glycogen molecule is branched. It is a better storage facility for glucose because the branches make it more soluble, and the glycogen is also synthesized more quickly.
What is the characteristics of glucose?
6 ring structure, simple carbohydrate, contains an ether bond, can be used to make glycogen, maltose, etc... a monosaccaride.
What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
What is produced in the hydrolysis of glycogen?
It is the conversion of glycogen from a non-reducing sugar to a reducing sugar by splitting all of its glycosidic bonds to produces numerous glucose molecules
What is the substance which give blood glucose when hydrolysis?
liver glycogen
Hydrolysis of maltose will give rise to what?
2 glucose
What is the relationship between monomers andpolymers?
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. When you link a bunch of maltose together then they form a polysaccharide polymer of sugars. Glycogen is an example of a polymer of sugars. Glycogen is the body method of sugar storage in your liver and muscle tissue....
What is maltase?
Responsible for the breaking down of maltose into glucose. This enzyme is found in plants, bacteria, and yeast.The glucose produced is either utilized by the body or stored in the liver as glycogen.
What are Differences between oligosaccharides and polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides contain hunderds or thousands of simple sugurs, while oligosacharides contain few simple sugurs. (eg.Polysaccharide = glycogen, Oligosaccharide = Maltose)
