Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules.

Disaccharides are two sugar molecules joined together.

Polysaccharides are saccharide polymers (chains of monosaccharides).

What are structural differences between monosaccharides disaccharides and polysaccharides?

they are related to each other because they are all made of glucose molecules.


What are the building blocks for peptides?

I search polypeptides at Wikipedia.org, "The World's Encyclopedia" and got the Related Link below.The first line read...Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond.


Is frucrose a polysaccharide?

Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, levulose, and laevulose, is a simple mono-saccharide which the body can use for energy. It is often found in combination with glucose as the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), a readily transportable and mobilizable sugar that is stored in the cells of many plants, such as sugar beets and sugarcane. There is more information at the related link.


What are bioactive peptides?

Bioactive peptide stem from the multi-function of the protein compound and is the generic term of different peptide, which is made up of 25 natural amino acids from the protein with different composition and arrangement from Dipeptide to complex linear and ring structure.


How are amino acids polypeptides and proteins related?

In Biology it bis tested that when proteins are broken down amino acids are formed this explains the relationship of proteins and amino acids and for polypeptides there is the theory that all peptides and poly peptides are polymers of amino acids.

Polysaccharides are made up of of monosaccharides.


How are starches and monosaccharides related?

starches and monosaccharides are carbohydrates, and monosaccharides make up starches, which is a polysaccharide.


How are glycogen starch and cellulose related?

They are all polysaccharides.


What do glycogen cellulose and starch all have in common?

Starch and cellulose are two common carbohydrates. Both are macromolecules with molecular weights in the hundreds of thousands. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is, each is built from repeating units, monomers, much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Starch contains alpha-glucose as monomer, whereas cellulose contains beta-glucose.


How is the shape of amylase related to its function?

the shape of amylase allows it to have the right shape of active site that it will combine with starch and break it down into disaccharides and monosaccharides which will provides us glucose for body to function

Just like the related melanotan-1 ("afamelanotide") and melanotan II peptides bremelanotide is composed of amino acids.


What are the storage and quick energy forms of carbohydrates found in animals and how are these forms structurally related to each other?

They are stored in glycogen, and used for energy. I hope you don't mind that I deleted the "traveling in light waves answer"


In what way are glucose and fructose related?

Glucose and fructose are both simple sugars, or monosaccharides, that are related as they have the same chemical formula but differ in their molecular structures. They are both important sources of energy for the body and are commonly found in fruits, vegetables, and sweeteners.


Is table sugar a disaccharide?

Glucose is a type of monosaccharide, not a disaccharide. Disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharides bonded together, so some disaccharides have glucose as a component. Sucrose for example is made up of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule, and Maltose is made up of two glucose molecules.
