What is the smallest polysaccharide?
glycogen
What is the monomer present in cellulose?
Starch and cellulose are both polysaccharides therefore made up of mono-saccharides such as glucose. There is more information at the related link.
What carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen in form of glucose.
What do Animal store carbohydrates as?
Animals store carbohydrates as glycogen. Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose.
How many water molecules are bonded to a glycogen molecule in the liver?
5
How starch glycogen's and cellulose are different?
They are different by the way they are made up. They are each composed of different isomers. Cellulose is exclusively a plant product. Glycogen is nicknamed "animal starch" and is found in the liver and in muscle tissue. Plants produce starch from mono saccharides as a result of photosynthesis.
List two poly saccharides used to store energy?
In animal cells you'll find glycogen. In plant cells you'll find that starch is used and can be found in granums around the cell, both of these saccharides can be hydrolysed to create an alpha glucose which is easily broken down and can be easily transported around the cell.
Which characteristic do glycogen and starch share?
They are both made up of chains of glucose molecules, with glycogen being the form for animals and starch being the form for plants.
In a disaccharide two monosaccharides are joined by what kind of bond?
Junctions between saccharide molecules are called glycoside bonds. This not only includes mono saccharides to form disaccharides but also many to form polysaccharides like amylopectin and amylose found in the starch of plants and glycogen in animals.
Does a liver cell have glycogen granule?
yes! the liver has many glycogen granuels
Does the body store glucose in a form of glycogen?
Glycogen synthesis, glycogenesis, is one of the most important anabolic pathways. Insulin drives the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glycogen is stored in the liver which is then turned back to glucose by glucagon during excercises and fasting. Hope this helps!!
What is the smallest polysaccharide?
glycogen
Give two characteristics of each mono saccharides and polysaccharides?
Give two characteristics of each mono saccharides and polysaccharides.
What compounds that can be converted into glucose?
Saccharides are the compounds that can be converted to glucose by catabolism. More complex saccharides are starches, cellulose, and gums.
What are saccharides found in?
It depends on the type; according to Wikipedia, "blood sugar is the monosaccharide glucose, table sugar is the disaccharide sucrose, and milk sugar is the disaccharide lactose"
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 do fungi store their carbohydrates?
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
