A monosaccharide is the monomer unit of the carbohydrates. Two monosaccharide units combine to form a disaccharide. Many monosaccharide units combine to form a polysaccharide. Therefore, the polymer of a monosaccharide is a polysaccharide. An example of a monosaccharide is beta glucose, which polymerises to produce chains of beta glucose molecules (cellulose).

Is starch a phospholipid?
No. Starch is a sugar polymer. (A carbohydrate.)
Is a simple sugar a monomer or a polymer?
monomer (monosaccharide)
What is monosaccharide and polysaccharide?
A monosacharide is a "simple" sugar such as glucose or fructose. A polysaccharide is a polymer made by linking many monosacharides together. For example, glycogen is a polysaccharide; it is a polymer of glucose.
Example of a natural polymer?
The most well known natural polymer is DNA. It is a naturally produced chain of monomers which produce a polymer.
Is starch a synthetic or natural polymer?
natural, starches are a form of sugar, potatos have a form of starch. I'm sure there are also some synthetic ones as well.
What is the polymer in starch?
Starch is a polymer whose monomer is the simple sugar glucose.
Cellulose is polymer of which sugar?
glucose
What polysaccharide is a polymer of an amino sugar?
Glycogen
Is starch a monomer?
No, starch is a sugar polymer.
Is sugar a natural polymer?
no, but starch and cellulose are.
Is starch a phospholipid?
No. Starch is a sugar polymer. (A carbohydrate.)
Is a simple sugar a monomer or a polymer?
monomer (monosaccharide)
What nutrients did get from starch?
Starch is a polymer of glucose molecules. You get sugar from it.
What is the polymer of dna known as?
The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a "polynucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group.
What is monosaccharide and polysaccharide?
A monosacharide is a "simple" sugar such as glucose or fructose. A polysaccharide is a polymer made by linking many monosacharides together. For example, glycogen is a polysaccharide; it is a polymer of glucose.
What stores more energy starch or fat?
starch gives more energy than sugar because starch is a polysaccharide(polymer of sugar).
What is the composition of the exoskeleton of a crayfish?
Their exoskeleton made out of the structural polysaccharide "chitin" (i.e. a sugar polymer).
