No. they are bound by ether linkage, not ester
Ester bonds. For example, "A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids."-wikipedia on triglyceride
glycogen, cellulose, starches, and chitinThere are several kinds of polysaccharides:Storage polysaccharides; for example, starch and glycogenStructural polysaccharides; for example, cellulose, chitin, and pectinAcidic polysaccharides that contain carboxyl, phosphate and/or sulfuric ester groupsBacterial capsular polysaccharides produced by pathogenic bacteria in the form of thick mucus
No. The general formula for an ester is R-COO-R', where R and R' are organic groups. R can be a hydrogen, but if R' is hydrogen (as it is in this example) then the compound is a carboxylic acid.
Complex sugars or starches are called polysaccharides.
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.
Yes, all sugars are covalently bonded.
No. If it were an ester group the C=O would be bonded to an O before being bonded to a methyl group. However the C=O is bonded directly to a methyl group. So if anything it is a ketone. But I'm not sure if it's even that because the C=O is bonded to a N on the other side...
Acidic polysaccharides are polysaccharides that contain acidic functional groups, such as carboxyl or sulfate groups. These functional groups confer a negative charge to the molecule, making acidic polysaccharides important in various biological processes such as cell signaling and interactions. Examples include hyaluronic acid and pectin.
Is the 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins true or false?
Ester belongs to the carboxylate functional group. It consists of a carbonyl group bonded to an oxygen atom, which is then bonded to another carbon chain (R group). This functional group is commonly found in organic compounds like fats and oils.

The general formula of an ester is RCOOR', where R and R' represent alkyl or aryl groups. It consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to an oxygen atom, which is in turn bonded to another carbon atom. Ester groups are commonly found in fats, oils, and many fragrant compounds.
No. The general formula for an ester is R-COO-R', where R and R' are organic groups. R can be a hydrogen, but if R' is hydrogen (as it is in this example) then the compound is a carboxylic acid.

In ethyl acetate, you would find an ester functional group, which consists of a carbonyl group bonded to an oxygen atom and an alkyl group.
