How are glucose sucrose and starch related?
humans store the energy from starch as glycogenBoth starch and glycogen are are polymers formed from sugar molecules called glucose and they serve as energy storage.
What polysaccharide cannot be digested by humans?
Polysaccharide cannot be used as an energy source by humans because they are hard to break down. Enzymes find it difficult to break them down into glucose for the body to use as energy.
What is the function of maltose?
A disaccharide carbohydrate, maltose can be easily hydrolised into 2 glucose molecules. (In humans, such a hydrolysis is accomplished by the enzyme maltase) As such, it is a rather efficient, energy-yielding molecule. (Glucose, as we all know, is a ubiquitous energy-providing molecule)
Is glucose the basic unit of glycogen?
Glucose is the basic unit of glycogen. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver as well as the muscle tissues.
What enzyme converts starch to glucose in the mouth of humans?
salivary amylase
Which of the following cannot be digested by humans-sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
Cellulose cannot be digested by humans.Cellulosecellulosehumans cannot digest cellulosecelluloseCelluloseCellulose (aka Fiber) can not be digested by humans because, we don't have the bacteria needed to break down cellulose. Sucrose, Maltose, and Fructose are all disaccharides (carbohydrates/sugars) and are all able to be broken down to glucose in the body.
What kind of polysaccharide cannot be digested by human beings?
Humans cannot break down cellulose because it contains beta glucose and the enzymes that humans have cannot break down beta glucose.
Which of these sugars are made by humans glucose fructose mannose starch vitamin c sucrose maltose lactose galactose?
Lactose and glactose
What substances react in aerobic respiration and where do they come from?
Glucose and oxygen are the reactants. In humans glucose comes from digested food, and oxygen is breathed in from the air. In plants, glucose is made in photosynthesis, and oxygen diffuses in from the air.
What type of carbohydrate can only be digested by ruminants and not humans by?
cellulose which is present in grass can be digested by ruminants but cannot be digested by humans
What glucose polymers cannot be digested by humans?
cellulose can not be digested by humans..because in human body there is no beta 1-4 glucosidase present.these beta glucosidase cleaves or degrade the glucosidic bond. though termites and cows can digest it and some symbiotic bacteria can digest it.
How are glucose sucrose and starch related?
humans store the energy from starch as glycogenBoth starch and glycogen are are polymers formed from sugar molecules called glucose and they serve as energy storage.
Can glycogen be digest?
Glycogen can be digested by humans. Chitin and Cellulose, also knows as fiber, can not be digested by humans.
How do humans get glucose?
Humans must eat food to acquire glucose.
Where is cellulose digested in humans?
Humans can't digest cellulose.
What polysaccharide cannot be digested by humans?
Polysaccharide cannot be used as an energy source by humans because they are hard to break down. Enzymes find it difficult to break them down into glucose for the body to use as energy.
What polysaccharide is found in plant cells and cannot be digested by humans?
Mostly it is the cellulose. It cannot be digested
