There is but one monomer of Starch - it is called Glucose.
The word/term "saccharides" means sugars.
STARCH is a sugar that plants store for future use.

In plants a storage product that results from dehydration synthesis of many glucose molecules?
starch is the monomer of glusose and dehydration synthesis combines monomers
How does glucose differ from sucrose and cellulose and starch?
Glucose is a monosaccharide (A single sugar 'unit'). It has 6 carbons and is an aldohexose.Sucrose is a dissaccharide. Meaning it is made up of two monosaccharide units. These units are a cyclic Glucose and a cyclic Fructose.Cellulose and Starch are both polysaccharides. Made up of many many individual sugar units or monomers. You can say they are sugar polymers.Starch is a glucose polymer. The two principal forms Amylose and Amylopectin are made up of alpha-D-Glucose monomers connected via alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages.Cellulose is also a glucose polymer. But has alternating beta-D-Glucose monomers connected via a beta-1,4-glycosidic link.Important note regarding starch vs cellulose, is that most animal (including humans) have an enzyme to hydrolyze starch (or cleave the alpha-glycosidic linkages) but not enzyme for the beta-link in cellulose. Therefore we can not digest cellulose as a energy source.In short. Glucose: a monosaccharide. Sucrose: dissaccharide. Starch and Cellulose: Polysaccharides.
Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm
How many possible combinations can be formed from the protein's monomers?
there is alot
What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?
monomers are made up of small molecules which join together to make polymers
How many glucose monomers are there in a single starch molecule?
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
How many different kinds of monomer are there in starch?
there are 20 different kinds of monomers in starch called amino acide.
How many different types or protein monomers exist?
20
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.
Starch is digested into many single units of glucose molecules so glucose is an example of a what?
Glucose is a monomer; monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.
In plants a storage product that results from dehydration synthesis of many glucose molecules?
starch is the monomer of glusose and dehydration synthesis combines monomers
Distinguish between the terms in each what pairs monosaccharide poltsaccharide?
Monosaccharides, or glucose, are the monomers of carbohydrates. While, polysaccharides, or starch, are the polymers of carbohydrates. Sources: I just learned this yesterday in biology :)
The number of different kinds of atoms of starch is?
(C6H10O5)n 3: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
What is the polymer of a carbohydrate?
Starch Cellulose, Glycogen and Chitin Polysaccharides and for the monomer is sugar
How many carbon atoms are in a starch molecule?
The number of carbon atoms in a starch molecules depends on the type of starch to which you are referring. Starches are carbohydrates and there are two main types, amylose and amylopectin.
How many kinds of monomers are there in protein?
In the standard cellular operations there are only twenty types of amino-acids in use. There are two 'in-frequent' exceptions.
What monomers and polymers are examples of carbohydrates?
A monomer carbohydrate, which is a monosaccharide, would be something like glucose, one molecule of a simple sugar. A disaccharide would be sucrose. A polymer carbohydrate, or polysaccharide, would be any starch, which is chains of monosaccharides.
