Does cellulose have branched chains?
Cellulose is a polymer of 3000-5000 non-branched molecules of glucose.
What are large starch molecules made up of?
They are composed of amylose and amylopectin. They are different because the former is a linear chain of glucose molecules, while the latter is a highly branched
What tissues can survive longest in the absence of adequate oxygen anaerobic conditions by deriving energy from the anaerobic metabolism of glucose molecules?
skeletal muscle
Resting skeletal muscles use glucose as a preferred energy source?
Resting skeletal muscles burn glucose for energy. Although fat can also be used as an energy source, if glucose is present, muscles will use glucose first.
What molecule is larger glucose or albumin?
Glucose molecules are larger than water molecules.
Glucose molecules entering skeletal muscle fibers are trapped when converted to?
glycogen

Where is there carbohydrates in your body?
The Carbohydrates found in the human body are Glycogen, which is made up of branched chains of Glucose molecules, and it is located in the muscles and in the liver.
The Storage form of glucose in muscles is called?
Glucose in animals is stored as glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose subunits attached with alpha (1-4) glycosidic linkages to link the individual glucose molecules, and alpha (1-6) linkages to create branch points for larger branched molecules. It is very similar to plant's energy reserve macromolecule - starch.
A starch molecule is like a?
Starch molecules are like chains of sugar (glucose). They can be entirely straight (amylose) or branched (amylopectin).
What is made of sugar?
All sugars are made of:carbonoxygenhydrogenThe arrangement of the molecules dictates what type of sugar it is, such as glucose or fructose.
What tissues can survive longest in the absence of adequate oxygen anaerobic conditions by deriving energy from the anaerobic metabolism of glucose molecules?
skeletal muscle
How does the structure of amylose compare to the structure of glycogen?
Recent research has actually shown that Glycogen IS actually a form of amylopectin. Amylopectin is a branched polysaccharide joined by alpha-1,4 linkages with branch points of alpha-1,6. The 1-4 linkage is because C1 of one glucose molecule is linked to the C4 of the next. The 1-6 linkage occurs every 10 glucose molecules or so. The alpha-amylase hydrolyzes only the alpha-1,4... NOT the alpha-1,6.
How does glycogen function living things?
It is a large, branched polymer of linked glucose residues (portions of larger molecules) that can be readily mobilized as an energy source, increasing the amount of glucose immediately available to the organism between meals and during muscular activity.

The liver can supply the skeletal muscles with energy in the form of free glucose but the skeletal muscles cannot supply the liver with energy in the form of free glucose?
No. Unlike skeletal muscles, the liver contains an enzyme known as glucose 6-phosphatase that can remove the phosphate groups and produce free glucose.
