Are polysaccharides isomers?
No, polysaccharides are not isomers. Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of repeating units of simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Are polysaccharides and saccharin the same?
No, polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of many sugar units bonded together, while saccharin is an artificial sweetener with no nutritional value and is much sweeter than sugar. Polysaccharides are found in foods like starch and cellulose, while saccharin is a synthetic compound used as a sugar substitute.
What are the complex carbohydrates made of long chains of simple sugars?
If you're in a science or Biology class, I would refrain from using the word "sugar". Sugar is too vague of a term to use when dealing with carbohydrates - same goes for lipids and "fat". However, by "sugar molecule", I think you're looking for the monomer of a carbohydrate molecule: monosaccharide. These monosaccharides can come together to form a disaccharide (two monomers) or polysaccharides (more than two monomers).
What do glycogen cellulose and starch all have in common?
Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Starch contains alpha-glucose as monomer, whereas cellulose contains beta-glucose.
What are three types of polysaccharides?
The three major types of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, and fiber. Carbohydrates are further broken down into five categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and nucleotides.
What are Indian carbohydrates?
Indian carbohydrates are the same as any country's carbohydrates
Were World War 2 ration books distributed to children?
Ration books were issued by the US government to allow everyone to have the same chance to get goods as everyone else. There is no exact number on how many ration books were issued but over 8000 ration offices were opened to control the rationing.
What are the primary elements that make up polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are made up of multiple monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic bonds. These monosaccharide units can be the same (homopolysaccharides) or different (heteropolysaccharides). Examples of common monosaccharide units in polysaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Is pectic and pectin same?
No, pectic and pectin are not the same. Pectin is a type of soluble fiber found in fruits and vegetables that can be used as a gelling agent in cooking and food preservation. Pectic, on the other hand, refers to a complex group of polysaccharides found in plant cell walls.
What is the value of carbohydrates?
If one is asking about the energy value of carbohydrates, the answer is that carbohydrates contain about four Calories per gram. This is about the same as the value for protein.
How did ration work?
rationing worked by them being given little of food each day and they ticked it off in there ration book so they could not buy the same thing again that week.
How do cells use polysaccharides?
polysaccharides are used in living things for structure and storage. In plants, cellulose give structure to the cell walls, as does chitin in fungi and peptidoglycan in bacteria. All these carbohydrates are polysaccharides. In animals, glycogen ( branched glucose chains) is used as storage of energy and in plants starch performs the same job. Polysaccharides are important to living things because a polysaccharide is just another way to store and hold glucose, which is the only thing that can provide energy to living organisms. It is just another very important alternative to store energy in living things.
