What is the term for a polymer composed of three sugars?
The term for a polymer composed of three sugars is a trisaccharide.
What structure helps increase the surface area available for absorption?
The intestinal wall has invaginations (or dips) that have a much larger surface ares compared to a simple tube
What are the three common simple sugars in your diet?
The three most common monosaccharides in one's diet are most likely glucose (both the alpha and beta isomers), galactose, and fructose. These sugars make up three common diasaccharides: Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose Maltose (malt sugar) is made from 2 alpha glucoses (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond) Lactose (milk sugar) is made from galactose and beta glucose (linked via a beta glycosidic bond) Sucrose (table sugar) is made from alpha glucose and fructose (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond.)
What three elements are the basic building blocks of sugars?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are the basic building blocks of sugars. These elements combine to form simple sugar molecules like glucose, fructose, and sucrose, which are important sources of energy for living organisms.
What three element are present in glucose fructose and galactose?
Glucose, fructose, and galactose are monosaccharides, which are simple sugars. They consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
Name three substances that can be absorbed through the stomach wall?
Water, alcohol, and certain medications can be absorbed through the stomach wall into the bloodstream.
What are three simple sugars in your diet?
glucose, sucrose, galactose,
What is formed when three or more simple sugars are chemically bonded together?
polysaccharide
How many water molecules will the bonding of four simple sugars produce?
The bonding of sugars is a condensation reaction, producing one water molecule with each reaction. To bond four simple sugars, three bondings are required, which means three water molecules are produced.
What is the name of simple sugars?
There are only three: glucose, fructose and galactose.
Are monosaccharides absorbed in blood or lymph?
Monosaccharides are simple sugars with three to seven carbon atoms in its carbon skeletons. They are absorbed in the blood because, most organisms use glucose (which is also referred to as blood sugar) as a source of energy. The energy in glucose, and in all molecules, is contained in the atoms and bonds of the molecule itself.
What common polysaccharides carbohydrates found in plants?
Poly means "many" and saccharidemeans "sugar." Polysaccharides are molecules consisting of at least three sugars strung together. We call them starches. These are generally very long chains that contain a lot of energy. They have a lower glycemic index than simple or double sugars because they are so much larger and therefore digest more slowly and require certain enzymes that are found in the intestines. Simple sugars, like fructose, can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without being "digested" first because they are basically already digested.
How many simple sugars are joined together in a trisaccharide?
Three. Trisaccharide means three sugars. Disaccharide is two, monosaccharide is one.
What are The three subcategories of carbohydrates?
sugars, glucose, starch in plants and glycogen
What element is found in simple sugars like glucose and fructose?
The three basic elements of carbohydrates: carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What are the 3 types of sugar that make carbohydrates?
The three monosaccharides (simple sugars) that make up carbohydrate polysaccharides are fructose, glucose and galactose.
