What process changes starch to simple sugars using a biological catalyst?
protein synthesis
Does polymerization produce macromolecules?
yes polymerization yields them. amino acids polymerize to form proteins by peptide bond. Simple sugars such as glucose make glycogen or starch.
Why should you try to dissolve food before testing for simple sugars?
stuff like crackers has starch in it. the enzymes in your mouth break down starch (in about 5 inutes) into simple sugars.
A polymer of thousands of simple sugars formed by dehydration synthesis?
Polysaccharide
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What process changes starch to simple sugars using a biological catalyst?
protein synthesis
What are The three subcategories of carbohydrates?
sugars, glucose, starch in plants and glycogen
Glycogen and starch?
Are complex sugars that are stored. Glycogen is the way that sugar is stored in animals, starch is the way that sugar is stored in plants.
What changes glycogen to simple sugars?
the liver
Does polymerization produce macromolecules?
yes polymerization yields them. amino acids polymerize to form proteins by peptide bond. Simple sugars such as glucose make glycogen or starch.
What are long chain of sugars?
cellulose, starch, and glycogen All of the above are composed of glucose molecules.
What is the functions of glycogen?
It simply isn't enough for our bodies to have simple sugars (no pun intended) available at all times for our energy uses. This would require us to consume food constantly. This is why we have glycogen. Glycogen is the storage form of those simple sugars. It can be broken down whenever we need energy. A lot more convenient than eating whenever we need energy, wouldn't you say?
What initial product does hydrolysis of starch produce?
Hydrolysis of starch produces simple sugars. This simple sugars then pass through various mechanism to yield ATP molecules. Starch is a storage polysaccride.
What happens to the starch in your mouth?
It is broken down into glucose molecules, which are then transported to cells to be used as an energy source or stored as glycogen.
How is starch different than simple suger?
Simple sugars, such as glucos, form chains through polymerization to create starch.
Why should you try to dissolve food before testing for simple sugars?
stuff like crackers has starch in it. the enzymes in your mouth break down starch (in about 5 inutes) into simple sugars.
A polmer of thousands of simple sugars formed by dehydration synthesis?
Polysaccharides
