When molecules of sugar join together to form long chains they are called starches or simple carbohydrates?

Starches are complex carbohydrates made up of long chains of sugar molecules. Simple carbohydrates, on the other hand, are made up of only one or two sugar molecules. Both starches and simple carbohydrates provide energy to the body, but starches take longer to break down and provide sustained energy, while simple carbohydrates are quickly digested and provide a rapid source of energy.


Monosaccharides and disaccharides are examples of what?

Monosaccharides and disaccharides are examples of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules, while disaccharides are composed of two sugar molecules linked together.


What type of reaction forms carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are formed through condensation reactions, where simple sugar molecules (monosaccharides) bond together to form larger molecules (polysaccharides) with the elimination of water molecules.


Organic compounds made of sugar molecules joined together are?

Organic compounds made of sugar molecules joined together are called polysaccharides. These polymers play essential roles in storing energy (e.g., starch and glycogen) and providing structural support (e.g., cellulose and chitin) in various organisms.


What is the process of joining simple sugars into complex carbohydrates called?

I'm not aware of a specific name for simple sugar->complex carbohydrate conversion. But I know that it is a form of condensation polymerisation - when water is removed from the sugar molecules they join together to fill up vacant chemical bondsS. Syhnthesis Hydration is the process in which a water molecule is removed from two sugar molecules to bond into one complex molecule. The opposite of this process would be called Hydrolisis which would be when water molecules would be added to a complex molecule to create two simple sugar molecules.

What are common plysacchride?

Carbohydrates (e.g., starch, cellulose, or glycogen) whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together.


Are polysaccharides also called simple carbohydrates?

No, polysaccharides are not called simple carbohydrates; they are classified as complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates, such as sugars, consist of one or two sugar molecules (monosaccharides and disaccharides), while polysaccharides are made up of long chains of sugar molecules. Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
