Last article we looked at glucose and disaccharides, which are simple carbohydrates. However, many carbohydrate molecules are made up of long chains of monosaccharides joined together to form polysaccharides. Today we will look at polysaccharides made from glucose. We saw in the last article that to form the disaccharide maltose, two glucose molecules are joined... Continue Reading →
Glucose and Disaccharides – Biological Molecules Ep 7
Glucose is a really important carbohydrate for living organisms because it is a reactant in respiration. It is a monosaccharide - a single sugar monomer that can be used to build other types of carbohydrates called polysaccharides. We will cover polymers of glucose in a separate article - today we will look at the structure... Continue Reading →
