What else can I help you with?
Why are polysaccharides osmotically inert?
Polysaccharides are osmotically inert because they are large molecules that have limited ability to dissolve in water. Their size and structure prevent them from freely moving and interacting with water molecules, which makes them unable to contribute significantly to osmotic pressure in a solution.
What carbohydrate does not dissolve well in water?
most of the oligosaccharides and all the polysaccharides are insoluble in water.
Do simple carbohydrates dissolve in water?
Yes, simple carbohydrates like glucose and fructose are water-soluble and readily dissolve in water due to their molecular structure. This is because they have hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties, allowing them to form bonds with water molecules.
Do monosaccharides dissolve in water?
When glucose or other monosaccharides are placed in an aqueous solution, they curl and take a ring form. This is in contrast to the linear form they take otherwise.
A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is said to be what in that solvent?
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water

Does water contain reducing sugars or polysaccharides?
Normal bottled water has no sugars. If it is vitamin water or flavored water it will have some.
Are polysaccharides hydrophobic?
No, polysaccharides are not hydrophobic. They are typically hydrophilic due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. This property allows polysaccharides to dissolve or disperse in water.

Does water and salt dissolve?
No, but salt does dissolve in water.
Do lipids dissolve water?
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.
Does carbon dissolve in water?
No, carbon does not dissolve in water.
What are water insolubles?
Polysaccharides such as: starch, glycogen and cellulose
Does salt dissolve in tap water?
Yes it does dissolve in tap water. It can really dissolve in any water.
