Are big starch molecules made up of little glucose molecules?
there are a large number of glucose molecules in starch.
How many molecules are needed to make 1800 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration?
You would need 50 molecules of glucose to net 1800 ATP molecules in aerobic respiration. This number can be found by dividing 36 net ATP created by glucose with 1800.
What happens to glucose during respiration in the human body?
Glucose gets converted into CO2 and H2O, by producing a large number ATP molecules.
What structure is formed when two glucose molecules join?
maltose The boding of two glucose units forms maltose. The glycosidic link joins the number carbon of one glucose to the number 4 carbon of the second glucose. Joining the glucose monomers in a differnet way would result ina differnet disaccharide.
What are the functions of polysaccharides in the organism?
POLYSACCHARIDES- a number of mono saccharides joined together eg. Starch, a polymer of glucose, with formula (C6H10O5)n eg. Glycogen, same molecular formula--gives glucose when hydrolyzed, stored in liver and muscles as a reserve of carbohydrates. (this is not needed)FUNCTIONS OF POLYSACCHARIDES: Basic energy sources for living organisms GLYCOGEN- an energy reserve, (stored in liver), can break down into glucose when it is needed -Precursors for other biologically important molecules---i.e. mono saccharides are used to make other molecules like glycerol and fatty acids and some amino acids. -Cellulose-structural material in plants (not in syllabus)
What is the smallest number of glucose molecules?
Zero

What do glycogen cellulose and starch all have in common?
Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Starch contains alpha-glucose as monomer, whereas cellulose contains beta-glucose.
How many glucose molecules in a grain of sugar?
If a grain of sugar is 200 micrograms (0.0002 grams), and there are 6.02*10^23 molecules in a mole (Avogadro's number, which is the number of particles in a mole), and the molecular weight of glucose is 180.1559 g/mol - First we find the number of moles in a grain of sugar, which is 0.0002 / 180.1559 or 0.0000011 moles per grain of sugar (really, per 200 micrograms). Then we multiply moles by 6.022*10^23 by the number of moles or 0.0000011 * (6.022*10^23) or... 6.62*10^17 molecules in a grain of sugar. (Again, really in 200 micrograms of glucose - a margin of error in weighing it could easily fluctuate that number by an order of magnitude)
Are big starch molecules made up of little glucose molecules?
there are a large number of glucose molecules in starch.
In glycolysis what is the ratio of glucose molecules to the net number ATP molecules at the end of the process?
1 glucose molecule = 38 ATP
Difference between polysaccharides and oligasaccharides?
there are many differences, the most notable is the fact that a polysaccharide is formed from long chains of monosaccharides, which are essentially carbohydrates conjoined by glycosidic bonds. Sugars on the other hand are either mono, di, tri, or oligo, saccharide, but do not include polysaccharides because they are mainly used for storage purposes in organisms. (an example of a polysaccharide is starch). Polysaccharides are mainly separated from the "sugar" category due to their large number of chains of molecules.
In glycolysis what is the number of NADH produced?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose by enzymatic action. It yields 2 NADH molecules and 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
180 g of glucose and 342 g of sucrose have same number of molecules but different number of atoms. Explain?
They are different compounds with different molecules:- the chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6- the chemical formula of sucrose is C12H22O11
Does the total number of bonds in glucose equal the total number of bonds in both pyruvic acid molecules?
no
How many molecules of are needed to make 1800 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration?
You would need 50 molecules of glucose to net 1800 ATP molecules in aerobic respiration. This number can be found by dividing 36 net ATP created by glucose with 1800.
