What else can I help you with?
What is a carbohydrate polymer composed of beta-glucose subunits?
A polymer composed of beta-glucose monomers is cellulose.
What is the Polymer of glucose?
carbohydrate
What subunits is the DNA polymer composed of?
Everett is the DON!
Does glycogen polymer contain nitrogen?
No, glycogen is a complex carbohydrate composed of glucose molecules linked together. It does not contain nitrogen.
Is glucose a polymer with a complex structure?
Which of the following is not a polymer? A) cellulose B) glucose C) starch D) DNA E) chitin
Chemically cellulose is classified as what?
Cellulose is classified as a polysaccharide, which is a type of carbohydrate composed of multiple sugar molecules. It is a linear polymer composed of repeating glucose units linked together by beta-glycosidic bonds.
Starch a natural polymer is composed of what?
glucose monomers
Is cellulose a carbohydrate made of many lipids?
no glucose molecules!and cellulose is a polymer
What subunits make up poly-carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made up of glucose subunits . In complex carbohydrates long polymer chains of glucose subunits form the higher structure, they can be "nibbled" from either end by digestion enzymes. The breakdown into glucose is needed for metabolism. Sugar units are called saccharides in chemistry. Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides made from glucose. The difference in starch and cellulose is the manner in which the glucose units are bonded. Humans do not have the enzymes to digest cellulose. Simple sugars consits of small clusters of glucose, fructose and glactose subunits, amongst others that are all structually similar. Lactose found in milk is a carbohydrate sugar made from a glucose and galactose subunit.
What is the smallest unit any carbohydrate can be hydrolyzed to?
Glucose is the simplest monosaccharide or sugar and is the smallest unit any carbohydrate can be broken down to. It is the only carbohydrate the brain can use as fuel and the glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen which is a polymer of glucose.
What carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen is the primary carbohydrate stored in the liver. It serves as a reserve of energy that can be broken down into glucose when needed by the body.
How many subunits does glucose have?
It has only one. We refer to subunits when we talk about polymers, which long molecules made up of joined monomers, rather like a necklace made of many beads. The beads are the subunits. Glucose is not a polymer, it is a monomer. Amylose, one of the constituents of starch,is made of at least a thousand glucose subunits.
