The subunits that make up polysaccharides are?

The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.


What two molecules make lactose?

Glucose and Galactose make up lactose Glucose and fructose make up sucrose Glucose and glucose make maltose


What subunits make up a starch?

Starch is composed of two main subunits: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a linear chain of glucose molecules bonded by alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages, while amylopectin is a branched chain with additional alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages. These subunits of glucose polymers make starch a complex carbohydrate.


What molecules join in long chains to make cellulose?

Glucose molecules join together in long chains to make cellulose. Multiple glucose molecules are linked by beta (1-4) glycosidic bonds to form the cellulose polymer.


What two monosaccharides join to make cellobiose?

Alpha glucose and beta glucose with a beta 1 4 glycosidic linkage!


What subunits make up poly-carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are made up of glucose subunits . In complex carbohydrates long polymer chains of glucose subunits form the higher structure, they can be "nibbled" from either end by digestion enzymes. The breakdown into glucose is needed for metabolism. Sugar units are called saccharides in chemistry. Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides made from glucose. The difference in starch and cellulose is the manner in which the glucose units are bonded. Humans do not have the enzymes to digest cellulose. Simple sugars consits of small clusters of glucose, fructose and glactose subunits, amongst others that are all structually similar. Lactose found in milk is a carbohydrate sugar made from a glucose and galactose subunit.


What are the subunits?

For example glucose.


How do you make a maltose from two glucose molecules?

Maltose is formed by a condensation reaction between two glucose molecules, resulting in the removal of a water molecule. The two glucose molecules join together with an α(1→4) glycosidic bond. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme maltase.


What two monosachrides join to make maltose?

Glucose and glucose monosaccharides join together to form maltose through a condensation reaction, where a water molecule is removed. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond.


What make up proteins what are the subunits called what bonds them together?

proteins are long chains of amino acids


What is a large molecule that is make up of identical or similar subunits linked together?

A polymer is a large molecule made up of identical or similar subunits linked together. Examples of polymers include proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates.


What compound are glucose molecules stored in?

It would be more accurate to say that glucose molecules are converted to starch for storage. To make starch, the glucose units join together in a long chain, like beads on a necklace. In order to form the links, each glucose must drop a few atoms so the whole glucose is not present in the starch.
