glucose,fructose,galactose) or di-saccharides ( e.g.,sucrose,lactose) joined together by glycosidic bonds. They range in structure from linear to highly branched. Examples include storage polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen, and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose...
Polysaccharides are chains of sugar units that form in configurations from tens to thousands of units long. They comprise the carbohydrate storage units for plants and animals, and they can also have structural roles in plants, fungi, insects, and crustaceans. Plants make starches as their storage...
Once lipids are inside the absorptive cell of the small intestine: fatty acids and monoglycerides combine to form triglycerides, these triglycerides along with phospholipids and cholesterol are coated with proteins forming a structure known as: A. SGLT pr A structural lipid found in the cell memb...
What are the subunits of nucleic acid? 1.Sugar, phosphate, and lipids 2.Ribose, adenine and phosphates 3.Amino acids, RNA and ATP 4. Carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids What type of macromolecule are polysaccharides? What two major functions can they serve in cells? Provide an...

What are the functions of lipids? What are some functions of lipids? What are the functions of carbohydrates? Polysaccharides are: A. Carbohydrates B. Lipids C. Proteins D. Nucleic Acids Which of the following biological molecules represents a transportable form of energy? A. Protein B. Lipid...
The scientific study of matter's characteristics and behaviour is known as chemistry.andare different from the normal vocabulary. It is a branch of natural science that examines the building blocks of matter, including the atoms, molecules, and ions that make up compounds and their composition, ...
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex polysaccharidesexhibitinga vast structural diversity and fulfilling various functions mediatedby thousands of interactions in the extracellular matrix, at the cellsurface, and within the cells where they have been detected in thenucleus. It is known that the chemical...
In terms of abundance, monoses are widely present in nature, forming the backbone of essential biomolecules like nucleic acids and polysaccharides. Nonoses are less common but play significant roles in specific biological contexts, such as immune response and pathogen interaction. 12 While monoses ar...
Why are cellulose and chitin called structural polysaccharides? What are the other substrates of amylase, other than starch? Where does starch digestion begin? What is the structure of a lipid? What are the building blocks of polysaccharides?
