What is the energy storing polysacharide of plants?
Starch.
Is polysacharide a protein?
Not at all.Polysaccharide belongs to Carbohydrates(as it is the most abundant group of it).It includes starch,glycogen,cellulose,dextrins,agar,pectin and chitin.
Is polysacharide a polymer?
YES. All polymers are made of repeating units called monomers. In this case the repeating unit is a sugar (glucose) forming the polysaccharide such as starch.
What is the formula for Guar Gum?
Guar gum is a polysacharide (a long chain made of sugars) made of the sugars galactose and mannose. <a>http://sci-toys.com/ingredients/guar_gum.html</a> Galactose is C6G12O6 Mannose is C6H12O6 Guar gum is thus C12H24O12
What is an example of Polysacharide?
An example of a polysaccharide is starch, which is a complex carbohydrate found in plants. Starch is made up of many glucose molecules linked together in a long chain, serving as a storage form of energy for plants.
What is the hard tough outside covering of an insect called?
The cockroach's shell is made of chitin, a complex polysacharide that is also found in the shells of crabs, and lobsters. Artificial chitin is also achieved by human. th ey are also stupid. says people who r stupid lyk me!!!!
What is a polysacharide?
These are very important in healthy diets as they are not broken down into glucose. The glucose molecules that make up NSP are different to the starch/glucogen glucose due to the position of an OH - group. Cellulose is the most common NSP. It is made up of 1000`s of B- Glucose which enyzmes cannot separate.
What monosaccharide is starch composed of?
Starch is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide, as it is a polymer of many sugar units. A disaccharide would contain just two units (for example, sucrose).
What are the elements in maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is a polysacharide, or complex carbohydrate. It has the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio C(6n) H(10n+2) O(5n+1) where n is an integer that tells you how many sugar units are in the maltodextrin chain.
What organisms contain cellulose a pine tree a cow a rabbit a fern a grass a goldfish?
Oh, dude, cellulose is found in plants like pine trees, ferns, and grass. So, yeah, the pine tree, fern, and grass have cellulose. Cows and rabbits eat plants with cellulose, so they might have some in their systems too. Goldfish? Nah, they're off the hook on this one.
Why does a plant need starch?
Glucose is soluble in water and starch is insoluble in water. So for storage in a rather wet medium such as a plant cell, glucose is changed to insoluble starch. When the plant needs glucose for respiration or other processes it changes the starch back to soluble glucose for transportation in solution through the phloem system.
What is a protective structure formed by bacteria?
Capsules. Encapsulated organisms are very tough for the body to resist because they are hiding inside a polysacharide or polypeptide shell that phagocytes do not recognize as foreign pathogens. This also means that most encapsulated bacteria are among the most pathogenic of all. Most capsule formers are responsible for horrific diseases because the body has little resistance against them.
