a polysaccharide found in animals |
|

a carbohydrate composed of many monomers |
|
A carbohydrate that yields many monosaccharides when hydrolyzed is a |
Polysaccharide |
|

both C-H bonds and C-C bonds |
|
Carbohydrates are formed in the process of photosynthesis from the starting materials of |
carbon dioxide and water. |
|

energy for the cell. |
|
1 glucose + 1 fructose combine to form _______ by ___________. |
sucrose; dehydration synthesis |
|
The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. What would be the molecular formula for a disaccharide linking two glucose molecules via dehydration synthesis? |
C12H22O11 |
|
To calculate how many C, H, and O are in a polysaccharide, one can simply multiply the C, H, and O present in each monomer by the number of monomers contained in the polysaccharide, and then ADD one H2O molecule for every monomer. |
False |
|

55% fructose and 45% glucose. |
|
To which sugar are human taste buds most sensitive? |
fructose |
|

|
From the fact that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) tastes sweeter than regular table sugar, one can conclude that |
the percentage of fructose in HFCS must be higher than that in table sugar. |
