What is the monosaccharide that results frrom the complete hydrolysis of amylose?

The monosaccharide that results from the complete hydrolysis of amylose is glucose. Amylose is a polysaccharide composed of many glucose units linked together through alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Hydrolysis breaks these bonds, releasing individual glucose molecules.


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.


Amylose is a form of starch which has?

a linear structure comprised of glucose monomers linked together by alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds. This structure is responsible for its compact and helical shape, making it resistant to digestion by enzymes and giving it a role in providing slow-release energy.


Do Saturated hydrocarbons Contain only single bond?

Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds, such as hexane. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain either double or triple bonds, such as hexene and hexyne.

In a disaccharide two monosaccharides are joined by what kind of bond?

Junctions between saccharide molecules are called glycoside bonds. This not only includes mono saccharides to form disaccharides but also many to form polysaccharides like amylopectin and amylose found in the starch of plants and glycogen in animals.


Do alkanes have double bonds double bonds?

No, alkanes do not have double bonds. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds between carbon atoms.


The enzyme amylase can break glycosidic linkages between glucose monomers only if the monomers are the α form Which of the following could amylase break down?

can break down glycogen and starch (ex: amylopectin or amylose). But not cellulose which is made from beta form glucose. Amylase, present in saliva, breaks down starch into maltose and simple sugars. The maltose is then broken down in the small intestine by maltase into glucose.
