What are starch molecules made of?
Starch is made of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen.Starch is made of glucose mainly and this is why it is referred to as a polymer of glucose. It has several units of glucose that are linked together.
Formation of glycogen by the liver cell?
The formation of glycogen by the liver cell is one of the best examples of anabolic processes. This is a process through which glucose is converted into glycogen.
How do you determine the location of starch in a leaf?
To determine the location of starch in a leaf, one can examine it under the microscope and apply one small drop of iodine to the leaf. The parts of the leaf that turn purple contain starch.
How many differatn types of monomers are there in starch?
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.
How many grams of glycogen are stored per one kilogram of the human body weight?
There is debate as to this answer. It is also hard to answer because glycogen is not stored evenly throughout the body, it is stored in the liver and the muscle tissue. Assuming a person has been eating plenty of food, namely carbs, and the glycogen levels are full most texts report the liver being able to hold 70-100 grams of glycogen and the muscles holding 200-400 grams of glycogen. The more muscles someone has and the more trained they are (athletes, etc) the more glycogen they can hold. If we say an average male is 80 kg and an average male has 350 grams of glycogen, then you have about 4.5 grams of glycogen per kg, but again it is not stored evenly so it is an unusual way of framing the question.
How are starch and glycogen similar and how do they differ?
Startch have two types of polymer chain,one is amylose and another is amylopectin.Amylose is simple straight chain of glucose(1--->4 linkage),while amylopectin have branching.At branching point,there is 1--->6 linage and 1--->4 linkage in every subchain. So,in startch 1-6 linkage comes after 20 to 25 gucose monomer,while in gycogen this linkage comes very frequently.....
Is pasta a complex or simple carbohydrate?
It is a complex. Simple is more like fruits , or table sugar.
Glycogen is made of?
Glucose. Glycogen is a bunch of glucose molecules strung together in branched chains, unlike starch, which is glucose in long, straight chains. The liver, using Glucagon, a hormone, stores glucose for release later. Glucagon is one of the two main hormones used to control blood sugar.
Why do glycogen starch and cellulose have different functions?
starch: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) Cellulose: made up of a long chain of glucose molecules bonded together by a beta 1,4 bond. (carbon 1 of one glucose is bonded to carbon 4 of another glucose) glycogen: made up of a long chain of glucose bonded together by an alpha 1,4 bond. However, the glycogen chain of glucoses is a branched chain- it is not one straight chain, it branches out starch is stored as glucose in plants glycogen is stored as glucose in animals cellulose is used as the cell wall of plants

One feature common to states is?
balanced budget
What is the common form of carbohydrate?
glucose is the common form of simple sugar
What is one physical feature that many of the largest cities have in common?
One physical feature that many of the largest cities have in common is that they are located on rivers. Rivers provide a food source, water, and a transportation route.
Formation of glycogen by the liver cell?
The formation of glycogen by the liver cell is one of the best examples of anabolic processes. This is a process through which glucose is converted into glycogen.
What are known as non starch polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are knows as polysaccharides. they are examples of carbohydrates.
What was One feature common to all of the eventually rebellious colonies?
rapidly growing populations
What is one feature that a dolphin an crocodile and a eagle all have in common?
They all breathe air.
