Step-by-Step Solution:1. Understanding Monomers: Begin by defining what monomers are. Monomers are the simplest form of carbohydrates and serve as the building blocks for more complex carbohydrates.2.
What are the subunits and functions of carbohydrates? What are the different types of polymers? What monomer is needed to form the below polymer? What two monomers are needed to prepare the shown polymer? Which of the following monosaccharides is an epimer of glucose at C-4? a) Galactose b...
These comparative analyses showed that although glucose is the monomer of laminarin, the utilization of either carbon source led to quite different proteomic signatures in different functional protein categories, such as in nucleotide, lipid, and coenzyme metabolism as well as in carbohydrate metabolism...
Which of the following biological molecules represents a transportable form of energy? A. Protein B. Lipid C. Carbohydrate D. Nucleic acid What is a monomer for starch and glycogen? Which of the following options is correct? All of the following are...
Populus is presented as a model system for the study of wood formation (xylogenesis). The formation of wood (secondary xylem) is an ordered developmental process involving cell division, cell expansion, secondary wall deposition, lignification and progra
Polysaccharide depolymerization is an essential step for valorizing lignocellulosic biomass. In inexpensive systems such as pure water or dilute acid mixtures, carbohydrate monomer degradation rates exceed hemicellulose—and especially cellulose—depolymerization rates at most easily accessible temperatures, limitin...
The fermentation of prebiotics in the colon is largely influenced by the type of sugar monomer, the degree of polymerisation and the nature of the glycosidic bonds between the sugar moieties [13]. The constituent sugars of the majority of prebiotics are monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, ...

(B) Superposition of the dimerization domains (TM1-5, left) and substrate-binding domains (TM6-TM10, right) of bcChbC (raspberry) and bcMalT (marine). The bcMalT and bcChbC structures align poorly when superposed over the entire monomer. However, the two individual domains align very well...
The case of carbohydrates is more complex as both the monomer composition (most of which are epimers of one another), and the regiochemistry and stereochemistry of the inter-glycosidic linkages must be identified. Moreover, these isomeric carbohydrate structural features are not readily resolved ...
