Carbohydrate macromolecules are composed of long chains of?
polysaccharides ie starch, celluscose and glycogen
What type of polysaccharide is found in potatoes?
Starch is found potatoes, not Glycogen. Glycogen is the plant equivalent of animal glycogen. A potato has starch but no glycogen; muscle cells have glycogen but no starch. The starch we eat is broken into glucose in the stomach/small intest and then reassembled in the muscle cells as glycogen.
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.
How are starch and glycogen similar and how do they differ?
Startch have two types of polymer chain,one is amylose and another is amylopectin.Amylose is simple straight chain of glucose(1--->4 linkage),while amylopectin have branching.At branching point,there is 1--->6 linage and 1--->4 linkage in every subchain. So,in startch 1-6 linkage comes after 20 to 25 gucose monomer,while in gycogen this linkage comes very frequently.....
What type of organic molecule is glycogen?
Glygogen is made of glucose. So it is an organic compound.
What are the subunits in starch?
Glucose.
Carbohydrate macromolecules are composed of long chains of?
polysaccharides ie starch, celluscose and glycogen
What are long chain of sugars?
cellulose, starch, and glycogen All of the above are composed of glucose molecules.
The Storage form of glucose in muscles is called?
Glucose in animals is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose subunits attached with alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkages to link the individual glucose molecules, and alpha (1-6) linkages to create branch points for larger branched molecules. It is very similar to plant's energy reserve macromolecule - starch.
What are the structural differences of glycogen and starch?
Glycogen is storage form of glucose in animals .Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants
What is a polynomal?
That's not a word, dumbs. A POLYMER is a molecule composed of many monomers (subunits). Some examples of Polymers are... -Starch: a few hundred glucose molecules strung together, used by plants such as potatoes to store chemical energy -Glycogen: used to store chemical energy in animals, made of long strings of glucose -Proteins: composed of many amino acids strung together
What is meant by saying glucose molecules are the building blocks of carbohydrates?
The complex carbohydrates (cellulose, starch, and glycogen) are polysaccharides composed of chemically bonded glucose molecules.
When many glucose subunits join together what do they make?
polysaccharide
What is the storage form of glucose?
Animals store excess glucose in their liver as a large compound called glycogen. Plants store extra glucose in their starch.
What is the storage form of glucose used by animal cells?
The form of glucose used my plants is called starch, which is found in the cell wall of the plant, along with cellulose.
What type of polysaccharide is found in potatoes?
Starch is found potatoes, not Glycogen. Glycogen is the plant equivalent of animal glycogen. A potato has starch but no glycogen; muscle cells have glycogen but no starch. The starch we eat is broken into glucose in the stomach/small intest and then reassembled in the muscle cells as glycogen.
Where is glycogen stored in animals?
In liver tissue
