What is the scientific name for complex carbohydrates?
The scientific name for complex carbohydrates is polysaccharides. These are large molecules composed of multiple sugar units bonded together. Examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

What are 3 elements and compounds that make carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates are compounds composed of just the 3 elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; in most cases following the formula Cx(H2O)y giving them their name. Simple carbohydrates are all simple sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, ribose, deoxyribose). Complex carbohydrates are polymers of simple carbohydrates and fall into 3 categories: complex sugars (e.g. sucrose, lactose, maltose), starches (e.g. corn starch, potato starch), and fiber (e.g. cellulose, pectin, dextrin, lignin).
What is the name of the long strands of carbohydrates found in the cell wall to make it rigid?
The long strands of carbohydrates found in the cell wall to make it rigid are known as cellulose. Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide made up of repeating units of glucose molecules and provides strength and rigidity to plant cell walls.
What are complex CHOs?
Complex carbohydrates are types of carbohydrates that contain longer chains of sugar molecules, which take longer to break down in the body and provide sustained energy. Examples of complex carbohydrates include whole grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables. They are a healthier choice compared to simple carbohydrates like sugar and white bread.
What are the polysaccharides important in nutrition?
Common polysaccharides are starch, glycogen and cellulose.The name comes from poly (many) and saccharide(sugar) due to their composition. Polysaccharides are also known as complex carbohydrates. They are made up of over 20 monosaccharide (single sugar) units joined together. They can be categorised as digestible (e.g. starch) or indigestible (cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectins).
Name the building block of carbohydrates?
are monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides all building blocks for carbohydrates
