Is lactose a polymer or a mineral?
Lactose is neither a polymer nor a mineral. It's not a mineral because it's an organic compound usually found in living things. It's not a polymer because it's not a long chain molecule, just a disaccharide formed from galactose and glucose.
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
What chemical reaction forms cellulose?
Cellulose is the polymer of Glucose the polymerization of is through DEHYDRATION reaction among Glucose molecules.
What is made of cellulose?
Long layers of beta-glucose; or long strings of monomers of Glucose, acknowledging that there are two different ways to conjoin monomers of Glucose. Cellulose exists in plants, whereas the other form of glucose storage that occurs in animal Cells is called Glycogen.
What is a type of carbohydrate found in starch that is seven letters long?
It's called Glucose.
What is mono-di and polysaccharides?
Monosaccharides are simple sugars which are made of a single sugar molecule eg glucose, lactose, fructose.Disaccharides are double sugars, formed from two monosaccharides linked together by a chemical bond (a glycosidic bond) eg lactose (milk sugar) consists of glucose and galactose combined together.Polysaccharides ("many" sugars) are made of many (eg hundreds) monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds eg starch and cellulose are made from glucose molecules linked to form long chains.Read more: What_is_mono-di_and_polysaccharides
What does heating cause to lactose in milk to do?
Lactose is a sugar like glucose or fructose and so cannot be denatured as can enzymes, which are proteins. However, if you heat lactose long enough it will caramelize (oxidize), like the sugar in sweetened condensed milk does when super heated.Heating lactose-free milk does denature the enzyme it contains to digest lactose, lactase, and inhibit it from working further.
What is di polysaccharide?
Monosaccharides are simple sugars which are made of a single sugar molecule eg glucose, lactose, fructose. Disaccharides are double sugars, formed from two monosaccharides linked together by a chemical bond (a glycosidic bond) eg lactose (milk sugar) consists of glucose and galactose combined together. Polysaccharides ("many" sugars) are made of many (eg hundreds) monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds eg starch and cellulose are made from glucose molecules linked to form long chains.
What organ modifies sugar?
There are many types of sugar. Fructose, Lactose, Galactose, Sucrose, Long Chain Carbohydrates, etc. Your brain, muscles, and the rest of the body like Glucose. Different sugars are converted to Glucose in the Liver.

What subunits make up poly-carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made up of glucose subunits . In complex carbohydrates long polymer chains of glucose subunits form the higher structure, they can be "nibbled" from either end by digestion enzymes. The breakdown into glucose is needed for metabolism. Sugar units are called saccharides in chemistry. Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides made from glucose. The difference in starch and cellulose is the manner in which the glucose units are bonded. Humans do not have the enzymes to digest cellulose. Simple sugars consits of small clusters of glucose, fructose and glactose subunits, amongst others that are all structually similar. Lactose found in milk is a carbohydrate sugar made from a glucose and galactose subunit.
What are the sugars is a disaccharide?
The question does not make sense. Please clarify. I'll try to answer in general terms: Monosaccharides (single / simple sugars): glucose (AKA, dextrose) fructose (AKA, levulose) galactose & xylose ribose The first three are the ones most folks concern themselves with. Glucose is the primary sugar the body uses and/or stores for energy. Fructose mainly comes from fruits (and a few vegetables) and is processed almost exclusively in the liver. Galactose mainly comes from milk as one half of the lactose (disaccharide) molecule. Disaccharides (combinations of two simple sugar molecules): maltose (glucose+glucose) sucrose (glucose+fructose) lactose (glucose+galactose) There are undoubtedly other combinations of simple sugars, but those are the three you hear about most. Starches and glycogen are long chains of glucose (polysaccharides).
What organic macromolecule used for long term energy storage in animals?
Glucose. Stored in the precursor form glycogen.
