Are glucose and sucrose polysaccharides?
No. Glucose is a monosaccharide and sucrose is a disaccharide.
What consists of two monosaccharides joined together?
Disaccharide, or double sugar, is the sugar that forms between two monosaccharide's. Examples of monosaccharide's include: glucose, fructose, and galactose.
What is the name of the molecule formed when two monosccharides join together?
Disaccharide
How to make MRS-maltose agar?
maltose is a disaccharide made up of two monosaccharide glucose molecules.
Which macromolecule is glucose associated with?
Glucose is actually a monosaccharide, which is the smallest unit of a carbohydrate. Glucose is also bound to fructose to create sucrose, which is a disaccharide (a larger carbohydrate). Finally, glucose is also a component of the polysaccharide starch, which is definitely a macromolecule.
Are glucose and sucrose polysaccharides?
No. Glucose is a monosaccharide and sucrose is a disaccharide.
What 2 monosaccharide make up disaccharide?
Glucose & Galactose
Which molecule do you think would be absorbed more easily into your bloodstream from your small intestine a one disaccharide of sucrose or a monosaccharide of glucose?
The glucose monosaccharide would be absorbed more easily than the disaccharide.
What is an example of monosaccaharide Glucose Sucrose Cellulose Starch?
Glucose is monosaccharide. Sucrose is disaccharide. Cellulose and starch are polysaccharides.
Is sugar made up of glucose?
It can be. Glucose is a monosaccharide so is composed of one unit. There are disaccharides and polysaccharides too, which are made up of 2 or more units. (There is also a group called oligsaccharides.) Fructose is a monosaccharide. Glucose + fructose = sucrose (a disaccharide). Try typing in monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide and polysaccharide into Wikipedia.
What are examples of double sugar?
A single sugar is a monosaccharide carbohydrate. Examples: Glucose (used for respiration) and Fructose (in fruit). A double sugar is a disaccharide carbohydrate. Example: Sucrose (for plant transport).
What consists of two monosaccharides joined together?
Disaccharide, or double sugar, is the sugar that forms between two monosaccharide's. Examples of monosaccharide's include: glucose, fructose, and galactose.
What can the structure of glucose be classified as A. L-monosaccharide B. Ketose C. Disaccharide D. D-monosaccharide E. Furanose?
PENIS
What is the main difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide?
A monosaccharide is just one carbon ring and is very soluble , example : glucose. A disaccharide consists of 2 carbon rings and is partially soluble , example : lactose ( galactose + glucose = lactose)
What is the name of the molecule formed when two monosccharides join together?
Disaccharide
How to make MRS-maltose agar?
maltose is a disaccharide made up of two monosaccharide glucose molecules.
Why is maltose a monosaccharide?
It isn't - it is a disaccharide. It is two glucose molucules joined together with an α(1→4) bond.
