Carbohydrates or polysaccharides are the primary source of energy for our body.
Our brain only uses glucose as its energy source.
Carbohydrates are easy to breakdown and if that is not available in diet body tries to get energy from fat molecules.
What else can I help you with?
A polymer of carbohydrates is called a?
polysaccharide
What is the polymer function of polymer paper?
not the opposite
What is a polymer made of simple carbohydrates boned to one another?
Glucose.
What does digestion break carbohydrates into?
Carbohydrates are sugar polymers, digestion breaks the polymer into its monomers, simple sugars like glucose.
What is the function of glygon grains in the animal cell?
Do you mean Glycogen ?Glycogen is a polymer of Glucose and is made up of numerous glucose molecules.It is the storage form of carbohydrates in animal cells.When there is less carbohydrates are available from external source, the cell will convert the stored glycogen to glucose and utilize it.
Is biomolecule the building block of carbohydrates?
No. A biomolecule is many building blocks bonded together to form a polymer. The building blocks of any polymer are called monomers. The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, which forms the polymer polysaccharide.
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.
What is composed of polysaccharide and polypeptide?
Glycoproteins are composed of polysaccharide chains (carbohydrates) covalently linked to polypeptide chains (proteins). These molecules play important roles in cell signaling, recognition, and structure in living organisms.
What is the primary function of carbohydrates?
The primary function of carbohydrates is to be converted to energy in the form of ATP.
Is carbohydrates a synthetic or natural polymer?
There is no such thing as "a carbohydrate, or many or few carbohydrates" Carbohydrate does not come in units, like vitamins or calories. It is like saying "Is a blood a polymer?" Same as you would say "Is blood a polymer?" the question is "Is carbohydrate a polymer?"
Is glucose a polymer with a complex structure?
Which of the following is not a polymer? A) cellulose B) glucose C) starch D) DNA E) chitin
Macromolecule consisting of covalently bonded monomers?
A polymer is a macromolecule made up of repeating units called monomers that are covalently bonded together. Examples of polymers include proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. The unique arrangement of monomers in a polymer determines its specific properties and functions.
