When animals store energy in starch when energy is needed what can these molecules be broken down into?
they are broken down into water and carbon dioxide and in this process energy is released
Disaccharides can be broken down into what?
A carbohydrase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates in the small intestine. The carbohydrases break down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
What is the difference between monosaccharide and polysaccharide?
A monosaccharide is made of a single carbohydrate molecule i.e. simple aldehyde or ketone molecules. Monosaccharides are called so because these simple sugars can't be further hydrolyzed but a polysaccharide is composed of many monosaccharides i.e. polysaccharide is polymer of 2 or more monosaccharide and are broken down into these simpler components through hydrolysis. Monosaccharides are sweet in taste but polysaccharides are tasteless. Monosaccharides have general formula Cn(H2O)n while polysaccharides have (C6H10O5)n.

What is the hydrolysis of disaccharides?
it takes place by the breaking apart of water. A water is broken apart to for a H- and an OH- which then, with the help of enzymes, pulls the 2 monosaccharides apart and gives each a part of the water to make them stable.
Are monosaccharides broken down in cellular respiration to produce energy?
Yes.
Lipids are digested into what end products?
Monosaccharides.
What is the smallest subunit into which starch can be broken down?
monosaccharides (simple sugars such as glucose)
For carbohydrates to be oxidized or burned for energy they must first be broken down to what?
monosaccharides
What are the carbohydrates called when broken down into smaller molecules?
Carbohydrates are generally broken down into glucose which your cells use as fuel. They can also be broken down into fructose and galactose.
Why must all carbohydrates be broken down into monosaccharides?
To obtain the energy necessary for them to continue metabolism.
What is the process by which disaccharides and polysaccharides can be broken apart?
Disaccharides are broken down by hydrolysis, which is the addition of water molecule, to turn into two monosaccharides

What do you get when you break-down a polysaccharide?
Monosaccharides.
What is the chemical reaction used to break down carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates begin digestion in the mouth with the help of the enzyme salivary amylase this process continues in the duodenum with the help of the enzyme amylase and it finishes off in the illeum still using amylase. Carbohydrates are broken down into polysaccharides which are chains of sugar and are then broken down into monosaccharides which are simple sugars. monosaccharides are the final break own product for carbohydrates. Proteins are digested in the stomach using the enzyme pepsin. continues to the duodenum and uses the enzyme trypsin and continues then to the illeum and uses the enzyme erepsin. proteins are broken down into polypeptides after this they are broken down into dipeptides and after this are then broken down into amino acids which is the final breakdown product. fats are broken down in the duodenum and the illeum . they are broken down in both using the enzyme lipase. they are broken down into fatty acids first and then into glycerol. glycerol is the final breakdown product for fats.
What is the role of hydrolysis in the relationships between monosaccharides disaccharides and polyssacharides?
Hydrolysis involes splitting a molecule into smaller fragments with the addition of water. During the process, -H and -OH are added to these smaller fragments. The disaccharides (i.e. two sugars) are split into two monosaccharides (i.e. single sugars). The polysaccharides (i.e. multiple sugars) are spilt into disaccharides. This process of hydrolysis depends on enzyme control in organisms.
