Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.

What do Polymers of sugars form?
Polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are polymers of sugar.
What polysaccharides are present in starch?
The polysaccharides Amylose and Amylopectin are present in starch, these are both polymers of glucose and they are interconvertible.
You identify these units as glycerol molecules because the liver cells are bonding them together to form very long branched polymers called what?
polysaccharides
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 the polymer of a carbohydrate?
Starch Cellulose, Glycogen and Chitin Polysaccharides and for the monomer is sugar
What do Polymers of sugars form?
Polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are polymers of sugar.
Do polysaccharides consist of polymers?
It woule be more accurate to say that polysaccharides are polymers.
What polysaccharides are present in starch?
The polysaccharides Amylose and Amylopectin are present in starch, these are both polymers of glucose and they are interconvertible.
How are the polymers cellulose and chitin similar?
Both are carbohydrates,Polysaccharides.
Name some polymers that are produced in nature?
There are several polymers in living beings, for example, proteins, DNA, RNA, and polysaccharides.
What Starch and cellulose are?
They are all polysaccharides made of glucose monomers.
What has the author Ryouichi Ito written?
Ryouichi Ito has written: 'Handbook of carbohydrate polymers' -- subject(s): Polymers, Carbohydrates, Polysaccharides, Synthesis
What do polymer chains make?
biomolecules, or macromolecules, such as proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids
How are polysaccharides and proteines similar?
They are both polymers with carbon atoms in its skeleton and O and H atoms in sidegroups. N atoms are unique in proteins
Are polysaccharides polymers that contain up to 20 different kinds of naturally occurring amino acids?
No. Polysaccharides are sugars, amino acids make up polypeptides (proteins).
What are Macromolecule are starches and glycogen?
Polysaccharides
Subunits in carbohydrates?
The subunits (or monomers) of carbohydrates are monosaccharides and disaccharides. The polymers (the products of these linked subunits) are starches and polysaccharides.
