What else can I help you with?
DNA is an example of what?
DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate.
What are these glucose polymers called?
Starch
Carbohyrates are either simple or complex?
Yes. Complex carbohydrates are polymers, i.e. chains of simple sugars.
Carbohydrates are polymers formed of structural units called?
Carbohydrates are polymers formed of structural units called monosaccharides, which are simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides can link together to form more complex carbohydrates like disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) or polysaccharides (e.g. starch).
What are some examples of polymers found in carbohydrates?
Some examples of polymers found in carbohydrates include starch, cellulose, and glycogen. These polymers are made up of repeating units of simple sugars like glucose.
What is the definition of carbohydtrate?
Carbohydrates can be defined as any of a group of multiple simple sugars. In more scientific terms, it could be said that carbohydrates are polymers of simple sugars, which are monomers. Another name for "carbohydrate" is a polysaccharide, making sugars a monosaccharide. Disaccharides are groups of two simple sugars. Common carbohydrates are cellulose, starch, glucose, etc.
What does digestion break carbohydrates into?
Carbohydrates are sugar polymers, digestion breaks the polymer into its monomers, simple sugars like glucose.
What are glucose polymers called that are used as the major form of energy in plants?
Glucose makes Sugars and Starches and Cellulose.
What is the compound of carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates are polymers made of sugars.
What are two simple sugars connected call?
Two sugars connected together are called disaccharides.
Polysaccharides are polymers of what?
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.
What are the most basic carbohydrates or simple sugars also called?
monosaccharide
