What are 2 alpha glucose molecules?
2 alpha glucose molecules form MALTOSE
Why the shape formed when beta glucose molecules join in a single chain is different from that formed when alpha glucose molecules join in a single chain?
Because beta is mo beta than alpha, you feel me?
What two monosachrides join to make maltose?
Two molecules of glucose joined with an alpha bond. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltos
Name three typical shapes of protein molecules?
right handed alpha helices, left handed alfa helices, and beta sheets
How the formation and breakdown of maltose?
maltose is formed between to alpha glucose molecules. The carbon 1 hydroxyl of one alpha glucose molecule is bonded with the carbon 4 hydroxyl group of another alpha glucose molecule thus creating the disachride maltose and in the process producing water

Is it true that cellulose is composed of beta glucose molecules and starch is composed of a chain of alpha glucose molecule?
True.
Are big starch molecules made up of little glucose molecules?
there are a large number of glucose molecules in starch.
What two sugars combine to make sucrose?
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of an alpha-glucose and an alpha-fructose. It has an alpha 1-2 glycosidic linkage between the two molecules.
How does dietar fiber differ chemically from starch?
Fibers are made up of cellulose consisting of beta glucose molecules.Starch is made up of alpha glucose molecules.
Which enzyme will break down starch into smaller monosaccharide molecules?
Alpha amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch into it's individual glucose monosaccharide molecules.
