Starch is a polymer.
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.
No, starch is a sugar polymer.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
Starch is a polymer whose monomer is the simple sugar glucose.
which polymer is correctly matched with its monomer A}starch-glucose B}maltose-amino acids C}protein-fatty acids D}lipid-sucrose
This is an analogy between the molecular components of two different macromolecules. Glucose molecules compose starch, and its correspondent to proteins would be amino acids to solve this question.
Glucose itself is a monomer of both sugar and starch. A monomer is a component of a polymer; in other words, many monomers come together to form a polymer. In the glucose example, many glucose molecules can come together to form complex carbohydrates- the polymer of glucose. Source: AP Biology
It's a hexose sugar, also known as Glucose.
Starch is a polymer of glucose molecules. You get sugar from it.
Amylase is the enzyme (found in your saliva and small intestine) that breaks starch (polysaccharide) molecules down into simple (monosaccharide) sugars like glucose.
Monomers are small molecules that can join together to form polymers through chemical reactions called polymerization. In organic compounds, monomers typically include molecules such as amino acids, nucleotides, and monosaccharides. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units of these monomers, such as proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.
It depends on the type of plastic. Different plastics have different monomer units. PVC- Poly Vinyl Chloride has Vinyl Chloride CH2=CHCl as the monomer unit. Polyethylene has ethylene (ethene) CH2=CH2 as the monomer unit. There are many others.
