What does cellulose break down?
Starch and cellulose differ in the glycosidic linkages between their glucose monomers.
The enzyme amylase can break glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers only if the monomers are the α form Which of the following could amylase break down?
can break down glycogen and starch (ex: amylopectin or amylose). But not cellulose which is made from beta form glucose. Amylase, present in saliva, breaks down starch into maltose and simple sugars. The maltose is then broken down in the small intestine by maltase into glucose.
The breaking down of glucose is it dehydration or hydrolysis?
Carbohydrates are usually long chains of glucose and its breakdown consists of hydrolyzing the individual glycosidic linkages between each glucose molecule.
Characteristics of polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are made up of carbohydrate molecules, monosaccharides, and glycosidic linkages. Examples of polysaccharides are starch and glycogen.
What is a complex carbohydrate and disaccharide of two simple sugars?
All polysaccharides must contain glycosidic linkages because they are what bind monosaccharides to eachother. The easiest example I can think of is maltose. Two glucose molecules are binded together by glycosidic linkages that form the maltose molecule.
The enzyme amylase can break glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers only if the monomers are the form?
alpha helix
Does glucose plus glucose make sucrose?
Fructose. Sucrose is the disaccharide made from two monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. The other disaccharides are lactose (glucose and galactose) and maltose (glucose and glucose). The monomers are bonded together through glycosidic linkages.
What does cellulose break down?
Starch and cellulose differ in the glycosidic linkages between their glucose monomers.
What is the source of monosaccharides?
Monosaccharides are produced through the reduction of di-/polysaccharides in the case of animals. Plants on the other hand, produce monosaccharides (glucose) through photosynthesis. They take the monomers and bond them together into starch for storage. The starch is the energy that animals and humans acquire during consumption. We then follow through with the digestion process which breaks the glycosidic linkages between monomers in order to utilize the glucose.

What are monomers of carbohydrate?
Monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates. Some monosaccharides are glucose and fructose. When two monomers combine through a glycosidic bond, they form what is called a disaccharide.

All polysaccharides must contain glycosidic linkages because they are what bind monosaccharides to eachother. The easiest example I can think of is maltose. Two glucose molecules are binded together by glycosidic linkages that form the maltose molecule.
What monomers make up glycogen?
Glycogen is made up of glucose monomers. These monomers are combine in alpha-1,4 linkages with alpha 1,6 linkages used to create branches. Glycogen also has a small protein component that is used to initiate the glycogen polymer called glyocgenin.
What and the difference between disaccharides and polysaccharide?
Monosaccharides and DisaccharidesIn the category of nutrients, there are monomers and polymers. Monomers are the "building blocks" of large macromolecules, or any molecule chain created through condensation reactions. These are the polymers, three or more monomers bonded together. In the category of carbohydrates, there are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosacchaides, and polysaccharides. Just from the prefixes, you can tell that the monosaccharides are monomers, the disaccharides are two bonded monomers (monosaccharides) and oligosacchaides and polysaccharides are made up of many monomers (monosaccharides).The monosaccharides are just a single carbon ring (in the natural aqueous environment of an organism). The monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. The disaccharides are two carbon rings bonded together by a glycosidic linkage in a condensation (dehydration) reaction, which removes a molecule of water. Disaccharides include maltose (glucose + glucose), lactose (glucose + galactose), sucrose (glucose + fructose), and more.When we consume food, we are taking in the large polysacchaides such as starch and smaller molecules such as maltose. We take these long molecules and digest them - break up their glycosidic linkages until they are monosaccharides (monomers) that we can absorb throughout out alimentary canal (usually in small intestine).A monosaccharide is one saccharide (or sugar) molecule. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose.A disaccharide is two saccharides (sugars) bonded together through a dehydration reaction. An example of a disaccharide is maltose which is two glucose linked together.A polysaccharide is typically ten or more saccharides bonded together. Cellulose is an example of a polysaccharide, which is ten or more glucose linked together.
What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?
Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
