Carbohydrates made up of more than two monosaccharides are known as oligosaccharides (2-10 monosaccharides) or polysaccharides (more than 10 monosaccharides). These complex carbohydrates are formed through glycosidic bonds between the monosaccharide units. Common examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose, which serve various functions such as energy storage and structural support in living organisms.

Which molecule do you think would be absorbed more easily into your bloodstream from your small intestine a one disaccharide of sucrose or a monosaccharide of glucose?

The glucose monosaccharide would be absorbed more easily than the disaccharide.


Does monosaccharide molecule has more atoms than a protein molecule?

The proteins molecules are bigger.


Why can a more complex sugar polysaccharide store more energy than a monosaccharide?

Polysaccharides are large molecules made of multiple monosaccharide units, so they contain more chemical bonds that can be broken down to release energy through respiration. The breakdown process of polysaccharides is more gradual, providing a steady source of energy over a longer period compared to the rapid energy release from monosaccharides.


What is larger a monosaccharde a disaccharide or a polysaccharide?

1-3 largest to smallestPolysaccharde (It's a long chain of monosaccharides)Disaccharide ("Di" is Greek for 2. It's made of 2 monosaccharides)Monosaccharide (simple sugar like glucose, galactose, or fructose)


Why is this monosaccharide so important to our daily functioning?

Disaccharides are carbohydrates that are formed by the dehydration of two monosaccharide molecules, such that the active carbons of each are utilized in making the bond. Thus, the disaccharide is more stable than the monosaccharide being less reactive than the latter and less prone to chemical change.


What is the difference between a homopolysaccharide and heteropolysaccharide?

Homo = same, homogenous. Hetero = different. So, the homopolysaccharide is made of of many of the same sugars in it's chain. While the heteropolysaccahride is made of of different type sugars in ot's chain.


Is a monosaccharide or polysaccharide bigger?

"Mono" means one "Poly" means many For any given sugar (saccharide), a polysaccharide would be larger.
