If a grain of sugar is 200 micrograms (0.0002 grams), and there are 6.02*10^23 molecules in a mole (Avogadro's number, which is the number of particles in a mole), and the molecular weight of glucose is 180.1559 g/mol - First we find the number of moles in a grain of sugar, which is 0.0002 / 180.1559 or 0.0000011 moles per grain of sugar (really, per 200 micrograms). Then we multiply moles by 6.022*10^23 by the number of moles or 0.0000011 * (6.022*10^23) or...
6.62*10^17 molecules in a grain of sugar. (Again, really in 200 micrograms of glucose - a margin of error in weighing it could easily fluctuate that number by an order of magnitude)

∙ 11y agoPolysaccharides are large compounds made up of smaller units known as monosaccharides, which reflects the concept of how polymers are made up of smaller, single-unit structures called monomers, that combine together to form a larger, linked unit.
The amount of monosaccharides that form a polysaccharide highly depends on the structure itself; it may contain as few as 3 monosaccharides to as high a number we can think of; 2 monosaccharides would create a disaccharide, which is not a polysaccharide.
The amount of atoms that are in polysaccharides largely varies, but considering that most polymers are consisted of 6-carbon atom monosaccharides e.g., glucose, we can safely assume that the smallest polysaccharide would contain as little as 63 atoms to as high a number that you can think of.

What is the monomer of glucose?
Glucose itself is a monomer of both sugar and starch. A monomer is a component of a polymer; in other words, many monomers come together to form a polymer. In the glucose example, many glucose molecules can come together to form complex carbohydrates- the polymer of glucose. Source: AP Biology
How many glucose molecules are in amylose?
there are 0
How many molecules of acetic acid are produced from six molecules of glucose?
12
How many moles of glucose are there in 2.4088 x 1024 molecules of glucose?
The answer is 4 moles.
How many monosaccharide are needed to form one maltose molecule?
How many monosaccharides are made up to make glucose molecule
What like glycogen and starch are made by joining many sugar molecules together?
glucose
Why does glucose dissolves in water?
Because glucose has many -OH groups, which are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
How many molecules of ethanol can be obtained from one molecule of sugar?
From one molecule of glucose (sugar) you can obtain two molecules of ethanol. Glucose's chemical composition is C6H12O6 Carbon dioxide (Co2) is lost in the fermentation process so we are left with 2C2H5OH or two ethanol molecules! Hope it helps!
How many microns are in a grain of sugar?
There are many different types of sugar, but I will presume you mean glucose, C6H12O6. Glucose has a molecular mass of 180 g/mol. 12 g . 1 mol . 6.02 x 1023 molecules = 4.01 x 1022 molecules of glucose. 180g 1 mol
What are polysaccarhides?
The simplest carbohydrate molecule is a sugar. For example, glucose. A single glucose (or any other simple sugar) is called a monosaccharide. A string of two joined sugar molecules (say 2 joined glucoses) forms a disaccharide. Many thousands of sugar molecules joined into a very long string is what a polysaccharide is. Starch is a plant-stored polysaccharide and glycogen is an animal-stored polysaccharide. These are examples of very long strings of alpha glucose molecules. A long string of beta glucoses forms the polysaccharide called cellulose.

How many simple sugar molecules can be stacked together to make starch?
As many as 1,000 glucose units can be stacked together to form one starch unit.
When plants store sugar they store it as a molecule made up of long chain of sugars called?
they are cellulose molecule.starches
How many individual molecules of sugar are in one mole?
Many
What are the differences between starch and glucose?
glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.
Why can the complex sugar cellulose store more energy than sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds. It consists of many glucose molecules joined together. However we don't usually think of cellulose as a sugar. It is more properly called a polysaccharide.
