What is the monomer of the macromolecules?

Starch and Glycogen is a polymer made up of glucose monomers. When you think of Starch, think of potatoes. When you think of Glycogen, think of your energy storage (it's actually a secondary storage)


What are the monomers of complex carbohydrates?

The monomers of complex carbohydrates are simple sugars, or monosaccharides, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides join together through glycosidic bonds to form polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen.


What is the monomer of glucose?

Glucose itself is a monomer of both sugar and starch. A monomer is a component of a polymer; in other words, many monomers come together to form a polymer. In the glucose example, many glucose molecules can come together to form complex carbohydrates- the polymer of glucose. Source: AP Biology

What is the scientific name for complex carbohydrates?

The scientific name for complex carbohydrates is polysaccharides. These are large molecules composed of multiple sugar units bonded together. Examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.


How do you obtain starch?

Starches are carbohydrates. Starch in plants is like glycogen in animals: it is the storage form of carbohydrates. Starches are large chains of glucose molecules. Complex carbohydrates are primarily starches, while simple carbohydrates are sugars. So, you get starch when you consume complex carbohydrates.


Are starch glycogen cellulose and chintin examples of lipids?

No. All of these are carbohydrates and specifically polsaccharides. Starch and glycogen are storage polysaccharides. Cellulose and chitin are structural polysaccharides.


The polysaccharides are known as carbohydrates?

Yes polysaccharides are carbohydrates. These are complex carbohydrates as they consist of long (sometimes) branched sturctures. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, cellulose and glycogen.


Is your body capable of converting starch into glycogen?

Glycogen. Starch is exclusive to plant storage of carbohydrates.
