What else can I help you with?
Explain the connection between monomers and polymers?
Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.
What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?
Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).
How many molecules of carbon dixoide are produced as the result of the metabolism of one molecule of glucose?

If starch is hydrolyzed completely the end products of the reaction would be?
The end products of the complete hydrolysis of starch are glucose molecules. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of many glucose units, so when it is fully broken down through hydrolysis, it yields individual glucose molecules.
How many glucose monomers are there in a single starch molecule?
A single starch molecule contents few thousands glucose monomers in single molecule.
Starch consists of smaller units called?
Glucose. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers.
Is starch formed by the condensation of monomers?
Yes, starch is formed by the condensation of monomers called glucose molecules.
Starch is digested into many single units of glucose molecules so glucose is an example of a what?
Glucose is a monomer; monomers of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides.

Monomers are single units while polymers are monomers linked together. So with polysaccharides being polymers or monomers linked together, then think of a single monomer of sugar such as maltose.
What are the subunits (monomers) of starch?
The subunits of starch are glucose molecules. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of long chains of glucose units linked together.

What monomers make up the polysaccharide starch?
Glucose monomers make up the polysaccharide starch.
How many molecules of carbon dixoide are produced as the result of the metabolism of one molecule of glucose?
Ryan Seacrest
The smaller molecules from which cellulose is made are?
The smaller molecules from which cellulose is made are glucose monomers. Glucose molecules are linked together by beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds to form long chains of cellulose. These chains then associate to form the strong and rigid structure of cellulose fibers.
What are the products of hydrolysis of Cellulose?
The products of hydrolysis of cellulose are glucose monomers. Cellulose is a polysaccharide made up of many glucose molecules bonded together. When cellulose is hydrolyzed, these bonds are broken down, resulting in individual glucose units.
Which of the following enzymes is not required to breakdown glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules for further metabolism?
All of these enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate molecules.
If starch is hydrolyzed completely the end products of the reaction would be?
The end products of the complete hydrolysis of starch are glucose molecules. Starch is a polysaccharide made up of many glucose units, so when it is fully broken down through hydrolysis, it yields individual glucose molecules.
