What is the polymer of a carbohydrate?
Starch Cellulose, Glycogen and Chitin Polysaccharides and for the monomer is sugar
A carbohydrate made of hundreds of molecules linked together is called?
The "hundreds of molecules" would be called hundreds of monomers. Collectively, many linked monomers makes up a polymer. So what you're asking is for the name of the polymer of a carbohydrate - polysaccharide.
How are lipids and carbohydrates different?
A lipid is: 1) a hydrophobic hydrocarbon (meaning: a usually very large molecule that doesn't like water (hydrophobic) and is made up of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H))If you try to mix oil and water the two don't mix. 2) Lipids are not made from small subunits to make a long molecule (called a polymer)- lipids are not polymers. The class of lipids most important to Biology are: 1) Fats, 2) phospholipids (cell membranes are composed of this lipid), 3) steroids (testosterone for example), and to a lesser degree wax. There are many other types of lipids. Carbohydrates are: hydrophilic (water liking) molecules that consist of different combinations of CH2O (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) in that arrangement. 2) these molecules form polymers from simple subunits. Classes of Carbohydrate: Sugar (sucrose is table sugar, glucose used in respiration), starch (made by plants), glycogen (storage sugar made by humans in the liver and muscle), cellulose (structural component in plant stems)... there are more but these are the important ones. The difference between Carbohydrates (sugars) and Lipids: 1) sugars disolve in water lipids don't 2) sugars are made-up of subunits that form large polymers and lipids are not and don't form polymers. 3)Lipids store more energy than sugars. 4) sugars form stuctural components (cellulose in plants) and lipids form bountaries like the cell membrane due to hydrophobic hydrocarbons.
What is the significance of cellulose?
Cellulose is what the main body of most plants is made of. Cellulose is very useful in many ways.

Is cellulose made up of sugars?
CELLULOSE IS TYPE OF POLYSACCHARIDES .MANY GLUCOSE MOLECULE JOIN TOGETHER TO FORM CELLULOSE BY PROCESS OF CONDENSATION. i.e TWO MONOMER JOIN TOGETHER TO FORM POLYMER BY RELEASE OF WATER MOLECULE
What is a cellulose sponge made of?
A cellulose sponge is made of, well, cellulose. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, so many plant derived products are cellulose based. Wood is about 50% cellulose, paper and cardboard are almost entirely cellulose, and most plant fibers are mostly cellulose- cotton is about 90% cellulose. the wikipedia article is decent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose
What organisms produce cellulose?
There are several things that can break down cellulose. Most are anaerobic bacteria like cellulomonas and are found in the stomachs of cows and sheep.
What is the cell wall of plant cell made of?
the cell wall of a plant cell is made up of many different things like sugars and cellulose. It can be made up of many different things though.
Is the plant cell wall made of cellulose?
The cell wall is the tough, usually flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.This means it is semi-permeable.
What complex carbohydrate cannot be broken down by the body?
cellulose cannot be metabolised by the human body due to the absence of an enzyme beta-glucosidase ( but it is present in ruminants )
How many layers is the cell membrane and what is it made of?
2 layers of lipids.
