Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.
polysaccharids are much larger molecules.
Polysaccarides are much larger molecules
A molecule of water (H20) is produced.
All disaccharides break into 2 monosaccharides. 'Mono' meaning one and 'Di' meaning two. Anything with more than two combined monosaccharides would be a polysaccaride.
Monosaccharides are simple sugars. They are carbohydrates and one class of carbs is simple sugars and the 2 parts of simple sugars are mono- and di- saccharides
Carbohydrates are used to turn ADP into ATP Adenosine Triphosphate. The bond with the Phosphate releases energy when its broken. Nobody seems to know what kind of energy ATP release. Please tell me if you know.
In my world, mono means one.
mono
Give two characteristics of each mono saccharides and polysaccharides.
Yes they can be found. They are very common
glucose (dextrose),fructose (levulose),galactosexyloseribose
galactose and fructose
The building block of a carbohydrate is mono saccharides.
Simple sugars are called monomers which is mono saccharides.The mono saccharides for carbohydrates are glucose , fructose and glactose. Carbohydrates can also be Di saccharides which is sucrose , lactose.
Function and structure
disaccharide
Mono(single)-saccharides are single sugar units. with glucose and fructose being two examples of mono-saccharides. All carbohydrates are made up of linked mono-saccharides. and it is the type quantity and the way that they are linked which defines the type of carbohydrate and how your body reacts to it.
A condensation reaction (aka dehydration synthesis).
A molecule of water (H20) is produced.
