What are the byproducts of the process photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their food. The main product of photosynthesis is glucose. Its byproducts are water and oxygen.
What enzyme breaks down lactase?
Normally when a person eats something containing lactose, an enzyme in the small intestine called lactase breaks it down into simpler sugar forms called glucose and galactose. These simple sugars are then easily absorbed into the bloodstream and turned into energy — fuel for our bodies.
Where does the carbon from glucose end up?
After cellular respiration occurs, the hydrogen that was in glucose gets attracted to the Oxygen atoms and it becomes water. the hydrogen seperates from the carbon in the glucose and it forms another bond with Oxygen. Hope that helped
Plants can convert glucose into two other usable forms. What are those two forms and what are they used for?
Glucose or simple,soluble sugar undergoes polymerization. Several glucose molecules are converted to complex starch, double sugar,i.e. sucrose,oils and plant proteins which are either used by plant cells or stored for future utilization.
Glucose plus fructose forms a disaccharide called?
sucrose
What does a simple sugars chemical structure look like?
The most simple sugar is glucose with the formula C6H12O6. It's structure forms a 6-sided hexagon!
What are the byproducts of the process photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their food. The main product of photosynthesis is glucose. Its byproducts are water and oxygen.
What does your body use to convert monomer and polymer forms of the molecules?
Amylase is the enzyme (found in your saliva and small intestine) that breaks starch (polysaccharide) molecules down into simple (monosaccharide) sugars like glucose.
What type of monomer combines and forms polysaccharides?
Monosaccharides, like glucose, combine to form polysaccharides like starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
What sugars are really glucose?
A sugar is a type of macromolecule with a ratio of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens, 1:2:1 respectively with either an aldehyde or ketone in the chain. Sugars vary in length and position of the carbonyl group and nomenclature uses the length and positions to name unique sugars. One type of sugar, glucose, has six carbons with an aldehyde carbonyl group. There are two forms of glucose, D and L glucose, depending on the position of the hydroxyl group on the anomeric carbon. All other sugars are not glucose.
What are the 3 forms of carbohydrates?
Monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. Mono- are single sugars, like glucose. Di- are chains of two sugars, like lactose. Poly- chains of many sugars, like starches.
Whose molecular formula is C6H22O6?
The molecular formula C12 H22 O11 is for DISCCHARIDES (sugars) -three different sugars - with different molecular structures, BUT ONLY ONE: molecular formula : 1. Lactose 2. Sucrose 3. Maltose The three sugars all have the same formula , but the structure represents the combination of two sugars - that is they are Discaccharide Type Sugars (dis,as two). to identify the formula -to a particular sugar we must know how it is structured as : LACTOSE= GLUCOSE + GALACTOSE FRUCTOSE = GLUCOSE + FRUCTOSE MALTOSE = GLUCOSE + GLUCOSE Sugar is Sugar by formula but not by structure.
Are carbohydrates sugar?
carbohydrates are sugar molecules linked together
What are the chemical elements needed to form sugars?
The main chemical elements needed to form carbon are oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. This forms simple sugars known as monosaccharides.
If glucose is the only monosaccharide normally found in the blood what happens to fructose and galactose?
any form of sugar is changed into glucose, because the only hormone the body has to break down sugars is insulin and insulin can only break down glucose. fructose and galactose are unusable forms, think of it as a "some-assembly-required" product, fructose and galactose are the unassembled forms, glucose is the assembled.
What are the storage and quick energy forms of carbohydrates found in animals and how are these forms structurally related to each other?
They are stored in glycogen, and used for energy. I hope you don't mind that I deleted the "traveling in light waves answer"
What enzyme breaks down lactase?
