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.
What linkages would you expect to find at a branch point in glycogen or amylopectin?
α-1,6-glycosidic linkage
Why are glycosidic ester and peptide bonds called dehydration linkages?
They shouldn't be called that. The condensation reactions that form those linkages form the linkage + H2O. When the link is broken it causes the lost of a water.
What are structural differences between monosaccharides disaccharides and polysaccharides?
they are related to each other because they are all made of glucose molecules.

What the polysacarids?
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate polymers formed of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic linkages. Polysaccharides are essential in organisms for the purposes of energy storage and structural integrity.

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 are the key differences in the structure of polysaccharides that function in energy storage versus structural support?
Built from -glycosidic linkages; form straight chains that bond with adjacent chains.
Which complex carbohydrate contains only a-1 4-glycosidic linkages?
AMYLOSE, not cellulose (which contains b-1,4-glycosidic linkages
What is the bond that links monosaccharides in di- and polysaccharides?
A glycosidic bond is a type of bond that joins sugar molecules to each other.
Glycosidic bonds are found in what type of molecules?
disaccharides and polysaccharides
What is needed to produce energy from carbohydrates?
To utilize energy from a nutrient, the bonds need to be broken. Polysaccharides cannot be digested until it has been broken down into monomers (monosaccharides). To do this, enzymes need to break the glycosidic linkages between monomers.
What type of bond holds together two monosaccharides?
glycosidic bond!!!
How are glycosidic linkages and peptides bonds alike?
They are both formed by a process called condensation
What linkages would you expect to find at a branch point in glycogen or amylopectin?
α-1,6-glycosidic linkage
STarch is held together by peptide bonds not glycosidic linkage?
No, starch is held together by a-1,4 glycosidic linkages. Carbohydrates, starch in this case, form glycosidic bonds while proteins (amino-acids) are the ones that form peptide bonds.!!!
