Is carbohydrate a monosaccharide?

C6H12O6 This is glucose and not only a carbohydrate ( consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen ) by a sugar technically called a monosaccharide.


What two molecules are produced when two glucose molecules are chemically bonded together?

When two glucose molecules are chemically bonded together, they form a water molecule and sugar maltose. This process is called dehydration synthesis.


The bond that is formed between two glucose molecules is called what?

A bond between a sugar (the ribose sugar) and a non sugar (the base) is called a glycosidic bond.


What monosaccharide is also known as blood sugar?

simple sugars[Gk. monos, single, and sacchar, sugar], consisting of only a single sugar molecule


A long chain of energy-rich organic compounds made of glucose molecules is called a?

A Sugar or a Starch.


What is a single sugar molecules called?

Monosaacharides are one sugar molecules Disaacharides are two sugars Polysaacharides are 3+ sugar molecules. It is important to know the difference if you are taking biochemistry!


Is a monosaccharide a 6 carbon sugar?

Another name for a six-carbon sugar is a hexose. A monosaccharide ("single sugar") is a chemical compound whose molecules can be found in chains in other compounds. An example is glucose. One molecule of glucose is a six-carbon compound. But when two glucose molecules combine, the product is a disaccharide ("two-sugar compound"), namely maltose. The common sugar used in cooking is sucrose, another disaccharide, consisting of one glucose and one fructose residue (component). Yet another hexose, galactose, combines with glucose to form the disaccharide lactose.


Glucose is a?

Glucose is called glucose. It is a "monosaccharide" - "saccharide" meaning sugar, "mono" meaning "only one molecule of it." There are also disaccharides (two molecules stuck together), trisaccharides (three) and polysaccharides (more than three and possibly thousands depending on what it is).


How much glucose makes 1 gram sugar?

Glucose is, actually, a simple aldosic monosaccharide found in plants. Table sugar is also called sucrose and sucrose is made up of two glucose molecules.


What gas releases the energy stored in sugar?

In metabolism, sugar molecules such as glucose undergo the process called oxidation, either the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen,so that energy can be released from sugar. The whole series of chemical reactions involved in breaking down glucose into energy equivalent to 38 ATP[Adenosine triphosphate] molecules is called respiration.


What are polysaccarhides?

The simplest carbohydrate molecule is a sugar. For example, glucose. A single glucose (or any other simple sugar) is called a monosaccharide. A string of two joined sugar molecules (say 2 joined glucoses) forms a disaccharide. Many thousands of sugar molecules joined into a very long string is what a polysaccharide is. Starch is a plant-stored polysaccharide and glycogen is an animal-stored polysaccharide. These are examples of very long strings of alpha glucose molecules. A long string of beta glucoses forms the polysaccharide called cellulose.


What nutrients did get from starch?

Starch is a polymer of glucose molecules. You get sugar from it.
