Carbohydrates are a class of nutrients. All nutrients have monomers which are the organic building blocks of polymers. Under carbohydrates, there are the polymers, polysaccarides, and the monomers, monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are linked together through condensation (dehydration) reactions to form chains of disaccharides and polysaccarides.

Proteins are chains of which small organic molecules?

Proteins are formed from aminoacids.


Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?

No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.

Are Organic molecules are made from a small collection of simple precursors?

Yes, organic molecules are generally made from a small collection of simple precursors called monomers. These monomers can join together through chemical bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers, which make up the diverse array of organic compounds found in living organisms.

What enzyme acts on starches and turns it into sugar?

The enzyme amylase breaks down starch into smaller sugar molecules such as maltose and glucose. Amylase is produced in saliva as well as in the pancreas and small intestine to aid in the digestion of starch.

How do you know if a element is organic?

No elements are organic. Molecules can be organic, and are those that are comprised mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (and sometimes nitrogen and small amounts of other elements). However, only molecules made from combinations of these elements can be considered to be organic, the elements by themselves are not!


What do small organic molecules that are linked together make up?

Small organic molecules that are linked together make up macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. These macromolecules are essential for various biological processes in living organisms.


Why reactions rates are much slower in organic compounds?

the organic paricles are molecules. Because of strong covalent bonding within the molecule, organic compounds do not readily react. Reactions involving organic compounds are generally slower than inorganic reactions.
