What are the most basic carbohydrates or simple sugars are called?
monosaccharide
A large chainlike molecule made of simple carbohydrates?
one said polymers the other said glucose this shiit is hard man
Why is glucose more dominant over other carbohydrates?
Glucose (C6H12O6) is a simple sugar.The structure of glucose is much easier for the body to break down than the structure of many other carbohydrates (complex carbohydrates). For this reason, when you eat a wheat bagel with a can of soda, the sugars from the soda will be absorbed first whereas the sugars in the wheat bagel will take more time and more energy for the body to digest.
Do glucose make up carbohydrates?
Glucose is a carbohydrate it's a form of sugar molecule, while starch is a chain of glucose
What material is the stored chemical energy you call glucose or sugar?
Glucose and other sugars are carbohydrates.
How are glucose and startch related to each other?
They are both carbohydrates.
What monomers combine to make a complex carbohydrate?
Monomers are similar identical units covalently bonded to each other to from polymers. The monomer of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Carbohydrates are polymers so its monomer is a simple sugar called monosaccharide.
What are carbohydrates fats and proteins broken down to in the small intestine?
Carbohydrates and fats are broken down in the digestive tract into the simple sugars, glucose, fructose, and galactose. The latter two can be converted by the body into glucose, which is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream and is broken down into Carbon Dioxide and water in the mitochondria of cells. Proteins are broken down into their constituent amino acids, which are used to assemble new proteins throughout the body.
Where is glucose found in nature?
Glucose is packaged in the form of carbohydrates. If you are speaking about nutrition, you ingest carbohydrates and your liver (through a series of reactions) breaks this down to glucose for use in your muscles, fat, brain, and other tissues.
What substance is broken down during respiration?
Glucose, it breaks down carbohydrates into pyruvic acid and then extracts energy from the substances.
What are the smaller molecules made when protein carbohydrate and protein are digested?
Protein is digested to form amino acids. Lipids are digested to fatty acids. Carbohydrates are digested to glucose and other simple sugars.
How does sugar adds to the body weight?
Sugar and other carbohydrates are converted into the simple sugar Glucose, which is then transported throughout the body as fuel. If there is an excess of Glucose beyond the body's needs, enzymes convert it into lipid compounds which are then stored in "fat cells" called adipocytes.
