Carbohydrate polymers possess the general chemical formula Cn(H2O)m, in that there are generally two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, though the ratio between n and m may vary, and not all molecules with this formula are necessarily carbohydrate polymers. Carbohydrates are synonymous with sacc...
Unfortunately, films from agricultural polymers are initially inferior to synthetic polymers mostly because of their difficult moldability and poorer physicochemical properties. However, specifically modified acidic carbohydrates and proteins with disulfide bondings may produce attractive alternatives.doi:10.1080/...
Nucleic acids are composed of monomers called DNA and RNA are polymers composed of what monomers? A protein is made up of monomers that are called Which of the following best describes a carbohydrate? A. Carbohydrates always consist of a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more...
The saccharides are divided into four chemical groups:monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides and disaccharides, the smallest (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates, are commonly referred to as sugars. Why maltose is reducing sugar? For the same reason maltose i...
What process occurs during cooking that makes the carbohydrates in rice more digestible? Is this a physical or chemical process? Conversion of Iron III to Iron II is an example of which soil forming process? What are the two processes by which the activated sludge process removes soluble carbona...
Monosaccharides: A monosaccharide is a type of carbohydrate molecule, also known as a sugar. Carbohydrates are organic molecules that are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They are needed as an energy source by living organisms. Plants make one important type of monosaccharide through the proces...
Carbohydrates of short chain lengths such as raffinose, stachyose and verbascose, which are three, four and five sugar polymers respectively, are classified as oligosaccharides. What is the main source of raffinose and stachyose? The raffinose family of oligosaccharides are α-galactosyl derivatives ...
processes serves three main purposes within the body – to break down the food we consume into usable energy for cellular function, to convert broken down food into usable molecules, such as lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids, and to eliminate certain waste products from the body...
it is called a dehydration reaction polymer. When many polymers are linked together in biology, they create macromolecules, which are essential to survival and growth of all living organisms. The four major classes are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and amino acids. Animals get their essential nutr...
A monomer is a molecule that serves as the building block of larger molecules called polymers. One example of monomers is nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of a sugar-phosphate complex and a nitrogenous base. There are two main groups of nit...
