What else can I help you with?
What do polysaccharides taste of?
Polysaccharides are starch and cellulose. Starch is found in white rice, potatoes, white flour. Cellulose is the fibre/fiber found in plants eg celery. Disaccharides are sugars eg cane sugar and monosaccharide is glucose.
What is the difference between storage and structural polysaccharides?
just as name indicates, storage polysaccharides are polysaccharides that stores glucose (like starch and glycogen) while structural polysaccharides are polysaccharides that form the structure of an organism (like cellulose and chitin) with out any storage capabilities.
Do veggies have polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides include things like starch. Potatoes, rice, wheat, rye, etc have polys.
What type of monomer combines and forms polysaccharides?
Monosaccharides, like glucose, combine to form polysaccharides like starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
What is the most common monomer for polysaccharides?
The most common monomer for polysaccharides is glucose. Glucose molecules link together to form long chains in polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
Do Iodine tests for polysaccharides?
Yes, iodine can be used to test for the presence of polysaccharides. When iodine comes into contact with certain polysaccharides like starch, it can form a blue-black complex, indicating the presence of the polysaccharide.
Are polysaccarides good for you?
It depends whom you ask! Polysaccharides are sugars (bad!) but dietary fibre (good!) is mainly comprised of polysaccharides like cellulose.
Why do most mammals prefer the taste of fats to carbs and proteins?
Many individuals lack the enzymes (such as lactase) to break down polysaccharides into their component sugars
Are polysaccharides isomers?
No, polysaccharides are not isomers. Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of repeating units of simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Is polysaccharides a portein?
No. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates.
Polysaccharides are polymers of what?
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.
The monomer unit of polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose is?
The monomer unit of polysacharides such as starch and cellulose is glucose.
