Is glycogen a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide?

Glycogen is a polysaccharide.


Is starch a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide?

Starch is a polysaccharide.


What is the difference between a monosaccharide and a polysaccharide in terms of their molecular structure and biological functions?

A monosaccharide is a single sugar molecule, while a polysaccharide is made up of multiple sugar molecules bonded together. Monosaccharides are smaller and simpler in structure, serving as quick sources of energy. Polysaccharides are larger and more complex, serving as storage forms of energy and structural components in cells.


What kind of bond is used in polysaccharides plant polysaccharide and animal polysaccharide?

Polysaccharides in both plants and animals are typically formed by glycosidic bonds. These bonds are covalent bonds that join monosaccharide units together to form the long chains characteristic of polysaccharides.


What complex sugar polysaccharide stores more energy than a monosaccharide?

A polysacharide stores more energy. Automatically you can throw out a disaccharide as having more, because it is in the middle, therefore it cannot have more or less energy. A polysaccharide has more energy, because it contains three or more sugars, this means more energy. Imagine subject 1 consuming/insuming an energy drink, an orange, and sugar cubes at one time, and then imagine subject 2 having one orange. Who do you think would have more energy? Well obviously subject 1 before he/she crashes. A polysaccharide is simply many different types of sugars put into one compound.

How long are polysaccharide chains?

Polysaccharide chains can vary in length, usually containing hundreds to thousands of monosaccharide units. The length of a polysaccharide chain is dependent on the specific type of polysaccharide and its biological function.

What molecules is not a monosaccharide glucose fructose deoxyribose starch?

Sucrose is composed of one molecule of glucose linked to one molecule of fructose, and is therefore a disaccharide.ANSWER ITWhich of the following are not molecules? A.NaClB.MgCl2C.AgD.AlE.C3H8AG AND AL ARE NOT MOLECULESapex ;)


Can glucose be considered to be a polysaccharide?

No, glucose is a monosaccharide, which means it is the simplest form of sugar and cannot be broken down into simpler sugars. Polysaccharides are made up of multiple monosaccharide units linked together.


What is monosaccharide and polysaccharide?

A monosacharide is a "simple" sugar such as glucose or fructose. A polysaccharide is a polymer made by linking many monosacharides together. For example, glycogen is a polysaccharide; it is a polymer of glucose.
