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.

In plants a storage product that results from dehydration synthesis of many glucose molecules?

The storage product in plants resulting from dehydration synthesis of many glucose molecules is starch. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of multiple glucose units bonded together, and it serves as a long-term energy storage molecule in plants.


What to many monomers make up when they are linked together?

When many monomers are linked together, they form a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers, which are attached together through chemical bonds. This process is known as polymerization.


How does glucose differ from sucrose and cellulose and starch?

Glucose is a monosaccharide (A single sugar 'unit'). It has 6 carbons and is an aldohexose.Sucrose is a dissaccharide. Meaning it is made up of two monosaccharide units. These units are a cyclic Glucose and a cyclic Fructose.Cellulose and Starch are both polysaccharides. Made up of many many individual sugar units or monomers. You can say they are sugar polymers.Starch is a glucose polymer. The two principal forms Amylose and Amylopectin are made up of alpha-D-Glucose monomers connected via alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages.Cellulose is also a glucose polymer. But has alternating beta-D-Glucose monomers connected via a beta-1,4-glycosidic link.Important note regarding starch vs cellulose, is that most animal (including humans) have an enzyme to hydrolyze starch (or cleave the alpha-glycosidic linkages) but not enzyme for the beta-link in cellulose. Therefore we can not digest cellulose as a energy source.In short. Glucose: a monosaccharide. Sucrose: dissaccharide. Starch and Cellulose: Polysaccharides.


Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?

These are polymers, which are made by linking monomers together through chemical bonds. This joining process is called polymerization, and it can result in a wide variety of complex and diverse molecules with unique properties and functions.


How many possible combinations can be formed from the protein's monomers?

The number of possible combinations that can be formed from a protein's monomers depends on the number of unique monomers present in the sequence and the length of the protein. The total number of combinations can be calculated using the formula 20^n, where n is the length of the protein in terms of monomers, assuming there are 20 different amino acids commonly found in proteins.

Starch is digested into many single units of glucose molecules so glucose is an example of a what?

Glucose is a monomer; monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.


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.


If starch is hydrolyzed completely the end products of the reaction would be?

The end products of the complete hydrolysis of starch are glucose molecules. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of many glucose units, so when it is fully broken down through hydrolysis, it yields individual glucose molecules.


What monomers and polymers are examples of carbohydrates?

A monomer carbohydrate, which is a monosaccharide, would be something like glucose, one molecule of a simple sugar. A disaccharide would be sucrose. A polymer carbohydrate, or polysaccharide, would be any starch, which is chains of monosaccharides.

How many carbon atoms are in a starch molecule?

The number of carbon atoms in a starch molecules depends on the type of starch to which you are referring. Starches are carbohydrates and there are two main types, amylose and amylopectin.


How many kinds of monomers are there in protein?

In the standard cellular operations there are only twenty types of amino-acids in use. There are two 'in-frequent' exceptions.


What is the monomer of glucose?

Glucose itself is a monomer of both sugar and starch. A monomer is a component of a polymer; in other words, many monomers come together to form a polymer. In the glucose example, many glucose molecules can come together to form complex carbohydrates- the polymer of glucose. Source: AP Biology
