Want this question answered?
they are all glycosidic bonds. in cellulose they are bonded so the sugars flip after every bond like a zig zag. in amylose it forms a right handed helix. in amylopectin it forms a right handed helix with a lot of branches (make it less soluble than amylose) Also Cellulose bonds are not hydrolyzed by human enzymes.
difference between cellulose and maltose is that cellulose is (chiefly in technical texts) while maltose is (carbohydrate) a disaccharide, c12h22o11 formed from the digestion of starch by amylase; is converted to glucose by maltase.
The basic functional difference is that Starch is for energy storage and Cellulose is for Cell Wall formation.The difference in structure is in the two possible ways to connect the glucose monomers together.
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen.
Starch
Starch is made up primarily of glucose. These glucose units are joined by glycosidic bonds. The two primary molecules are amylose and amylopectin. Its chemical formula is C12H22O11.
The monomer unit of polysacharides such as starch and cellulose is glucose.
No. Cellulose and starch are both forms of carbohydrates, not a form of one another.
what is the difference between barley starch and corn starch
Starch-you use an enzyme e.g. amylase to convert the starch to sugar ,add an enzyme which breaks the starch or cellulose into sugars. The yeast will then ferment the sugars. Not sure about cellulose...
2 polysaccharides found in plants are starch and cellulose. :)
starch is soluble in water, on the other hand cellulose is insoluble. also, the glucose molecules in starch and cellulose are linked differently, making it impossible to be broken down by humans.
