What is the monomer unit of cellulose?

It depends on the type of plastic. Different plastics have different monomer units. PVC- Poly Vinyl Chloride has Vinyl Chloride CH2=CHCl as the monomer unit. Polyethylene has ethylene (ethene) CH2=CH2 as the monomer unit. There are many others.


What kind of molecules are from monosaccharides?

Polysaccharides


Is a simple sugar a monomer or a polymer?

A simple sugar, such as glucose or fructose, is a monomer. It is a single unit that can join with other monomers to form larger molecules like polysaccharides (polymers).


The repeating unit of cellulose is what?

The repeating unit of cellulose and starch is glucose. in cellulose, each glucose unit that is successive is rotated 180 degrees around the axis of the polymer backbone chain.


What is a carbohydrate monomer?

Simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose are carbohydrates that are monomers. They are also structural isomers. All three have the chemical formula C6H12O6, but differ in the way that the atoms are bonded together.


Cellulose is formed by?

Cellulose is primarily formed by linking together glucose molecules in a linear chain through beta-glycosidic bonds. These glucose molecules are connected through dehydration synthesis reactions, resulting in a strong, fibrous structure that makes up the cell walls of plants.


What is the polymer of sugar?

The polymer of sugar is starch, which is a large molecule made up of many glucose units linked together in a linear chain. Starch is a common carbohydrate found in plants and serves as a storage form of energy.


How many differatn types of monomers are there in starch?

There is but one monomer of Starch - it is called Glucose. The word/term "saccharides" means sugars. STARCH is a sugar that plants store for future use.
