How many glucose monomers are there in a single starch molecule?
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
What are the subunits (monomers) of starch?
The subunits of starch are glucose molecules. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of long chains of glucose units linked together.
Explain the connection between monomers and polymers?
Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.
What monomers make up the polysaccharide starch?
Glucose monomers make up the polysaccharide starch.
Is starch formed by the condensation of monomers?
Yes, starch is formed by the condensation of monomers called glucose molecules.
How is the structure of starch related to its function?
The structure of starch is composed of glucose monomers linked together in long chains. This structure allows starch to be broken down into glucose molecules during digestion, providing a source of energy for cells. Additionally, the branched structure of starch makes it compact and easily stored in plant cells for later use.
What are the monomers of complex carbohydrates?
The monomers of complex carbohydrates are simple sugars, or monosaccharides, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides join together through glycosidic bonds to form polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
How many differatn types of monomers are there in starch?
There is but one monomer of Starch - it is called Glucose. The word/term "saccharides" means sugars. STARCH is a sugar that plants store for future use.
What large molocules are there in starch?
Starch is a polymer formed from glucose monomers.
Is starch a gas?
Starch is not a gas, it is a carbohydrate composed of glucose monomers. It is a solid.
What happens when glucose and starch react together?
Glucose and starch do not react together chemically. However, enzymes such as amylase can break down starch into glucose through a process called hydrolysis. This allows the glucose to be used for energy production in the body.
Starch consists of smaller units called?
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
