Is glucose a simple carbohydrate?
Glucose is a complex carbohydrate.
What are functions of complex carbohydrates?
1. Starch (Complex Carbohydrate) is broken down by the body into sugars that can be used by the body. 2. Glucose (Complex Carbohydrate) can be broken down to provide a quick source of glucose.
Why is glucose a complex carbohydrate?
because it is a connected chain of sugar molecules
What is useful complex carbohydrate that cannot be broken down by your body?
glucose
What do complex carbohydrate consist of repeated units of?
glucose units
Is a cellulose cell wall made of protein?
No. Cellulose is a carbohydrate made of beta-glucose.
Is glucose a type of starch?
No, glucose is a simple sugar, while starch is a complex carbohydrate made up of many glucose molecules bonded together.
A complex carbohydrate known as starch is made of repeating monomer units of what?
Starch is made of repeating monomer units of glucose. These glucose monomers are linked together through glycosidic bonds to form the complex carbohydrate structure of starch.
Is grapes a simple or complex carbohydrate?
Grapes contain primarily simple carbohydrates in the form of natural sugars like glucose and fructose. They also have small amounts of more complex carbohydrates like fiber, but overall they are considered a simple carbohydrate due to their high sugar content.
Is glucose a starch?
No, glucose is a simple sugar and the main source of energy for our bodies. Starch is a complex carbohydrate made up of many glucose molecules bonded together.
Is sugar in fruit a simple or complex carbohydrate?
No, fruit sugar is not a complex carbohydrate. Fructose, or fruit sugar, is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion.
Glucose is converted to another type of carbohydrate which can be stored?
Glucose is converted into glycogen, a complex carbohydrate, for storage in the liver and muscles. Glycogen serves as a readily available energy source that can be broken down back into glucose when the body needs a quick burst of energy.
