It has only one. We refer to subunits when we talk about polymers, which long molecules made up of joined monomers, rather like a necklace made of many beads. The beads are the subunits. Glucose is not a polymer, it is a monomer. Amylose, one of the constituents of starch,is made of at least a thousand glucose subunits.

What are the subunits in starch?
Glucose.
What is a carbohydrate polymer composed of beta-glucose subunits?
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
Carbohydrates are made of which monomers?
Some carbohydrates are polymers. Some aren't. Glucose is a carbohydrate, but it's not made of simpler identical subunits; it is itself the monomer of complex carbohydrates like cellulose and starch.
What two molecules make lactose?
Glucose and Galactose make up lactose Glucose and fructose make up sucrose Glucose and glucose make maltose
Why beta glucose is more stable than alpha?
They form different disaccharides due to there molecular structures. Alpha forms Maltose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each alpha glucose and another, and Beta forms the disaccharide Cellobiose with a 1-4 glycosidic bond between each beta glucose and another.
Does glucose form polymers with many subunits?
Yes.
What are the subunits in starch?
Glucose.
When many glucose subunits join together what do they make?
polysaccharide
What is the subunits of glycogen?
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen
What are the subunits of carbohydrate's?
Sugars like Glucose
What is a carbohydrate polymer composed of beta glucose subunits?
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
What is a carbohydrate polymer composed of beta-glucose subunits?
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
What are subunits of carbohydrates?
stupid pice crap
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are?
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
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.
Is it true that both starch and glycogen are composed of α-glucose subunits?
True
What are the subunits?
For example glucose.
