glucose is a sugar
simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides
mono = one
saccharide = sugar
No, dextrose is glucose but it has a different 3 dimensional structure than regular glucose.
When two single sugars are joined together, they form a disaccharide. Examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
Glycogen is broken down through a process known as glycogenolysis, which involves the breakdown of glycogen into glucose molecules. This process is mainly controlled by enzymes such as glycogen phosphorylase and glucose-6-phosphatase. The resulting glucose is then available for energy production or storage in the body.
No, glucose is a simple sugar molecule that is a source of energy for living organisms, including bacteria. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that are classified as a separate group of living organisms.
Glucose is a monomer; monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.
Because it is a single hexagonal ring structure.
Glucose has single bonds between its carbon atoms.
simple sugars[Gk. monos, single, and sacchar, sugar], consisting of only a single sugar molecule
Single monosaccharide glucose molecules may join together by a condensation reaction/dehydration synthesis reaction to form a disaccharide called maltose.
No, dextrose is glucose but it has a different 3 dimensional structure than regular glucose.
Yes. You are right. Glucose is a monomer. Because it is a single molecule.
Glucose+glucose=a disaccharide called "maltose" Glucose+lots more glucose=a polysaccharide called "starch"
When two single sugars are joined together, they form a disaccharide. Examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
Monosaacharides are one sugar molecules Disaacharides are two sugars Polysaacharides are 3+ sugar molecules. It is important to know the difference if you are taking biochemistry!
The formula for glucose is C6H12O6, so 12 hydrogen.
