What are the differences between starch and glucose?
glucose is a type of sugar, and it is combined with starch. sugar is a category, because it could be fructose, glucose, etc.
Do animal cells have a starch grain?
Cellulose is not an animal starch. It comes from the cell walls of plant cells.
Distinguish between the terms in each what pairs monosaccharide poltsaccharide?
Monosaccharides, or glucose, are the monomers of carbohydrates. While, polysaccharides, or starch, are the polymers of carbohydrates. Sources: I just learned this yesterday in biology :)

No. Starch is a polysaccharide.
What molecules is not a monosaccharide glucose fructose deoxyribose starch?
Sucrose is composed of one molecule of glucose linked to one molecule of fructose, and is therefore a disaccharide.ANSWER ITWhich of the following are not molecules? A.NaClB.MgCl2C.AgD.AlE.C3H8AG AND AL ARE NOT MOLECULESapex ;)

What is an example of monosaccaharide Glucose Sucrose Cellulose Starch?
Glucose is monosaccharide. Sucrose is disaccharide. Cellulose and starch are polysaccharides.
What is the monomer of the polymer starch?
If starch is the polymer, then the monomer is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Starch is a polysaccharide that is made up of glucose molecules.
What is a polysaccaride?

What monomer is used to build complex carbohydrates like starch or glycogen?
Glucose - C6H12O6 is the monosaccharide (single sugar) comprising starch (in plants) and glycogen (in animals).
Is starch a gas?
Starch is not a gas, it is a carbohydrate composed of glucose monomers. It is a solid.
