a carbohydrate composed of mainly monosaccharide units- answer by Matt. Walton
A polysaccaride.
No
Cellulose.
Starch, glycogen and cellulose are three important polysaccarides.
Herapin is a polysaccaride. Polysaccharides have a general formula of Cn(H2O)n-1 where n is number between 200 and 2500
The energy in a polysaccharide is stored in the chemical bonds between the sugar molecules. When these bonds are broken through digestion or metabolism, energy is released for the body to use.
It can be a Monosaccahride (1 sugar ring), Disaccahride (2 sugar rings), or Polysaccaride (3 or more sugar rings). It could be more specific but I would need to know more about the sugar.
cell wall Cell walls are found in plants and not in animal cells; however, fungi also have cell walls and they are not plants or animals.
All disaccharides break into 2 monosaccharides. 'Mono' meaning one and 'Di' meaning two. Anything with more than two combined monosaccharides would be a polysaccaride.
um.....a potato isn't any of those. A saccharide is a sugar, and a monosaccharide is one sugar that is not bonded, such as galactose, glucose, or fructose (which are the three main monosaccharides, and are isomeric). A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bonded together, usually using dehydration synthesis. An example would be maltose, which is C12H24O12, or two glucose molecules. A polysaccaride is a lot of monosaccharides bonded together such as starch. So a potato is none of those.
Plant cell walls are mostly composed of a polysaccaride called cellulose that cannot be digested by most mammals. It is instead broken down by bacteria in the intestines of mammals, such as E. Coli.
Starch is a polymer, a "polysaccaride" made up of lots of monosaccharide sugar molecules (glucose). The body hydrolyses the starch, breaking it down into its glucose components by using an enzyme protean called "amylase. This process starts in the human mouth as amaze is to be found in human saliva.
