Consider the following trisaccharide:
Determine whether any part of the trisaccharide corresponds to disaccharides maltose, lactose, cellobiose, and sucrose. If yes, specify the disaccharide and where it is.
From the following list, choose the polysaccharide(s) that contain only α(1→4)-glycosidic bonds.
i) Glycogen
ii) Cellulose
iii) Amylose
iv) Amylopectin
What are the structural similarities and differences between cellulose and xylan.
Determine the plausible structural similarities and differences between glycogen and chitin.
Determine the plausible polysaccharide name that would match the given description below:
The main component of the human liver's energy storage.
From the following list, select the polysaccharide(s) that contain only β(1→4)-glycosidic bonds.
Which polysaccharides are primarily responsible for the storage of glucose in plant cells and produce maltose during digestion?
Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products. Based on its Haworth structure, is lactose considered a monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide?
Maltotriose is found in malted grains and is a product of the breakdown of starch. Based on its Haworth structure, what monosaccharide units are present in maltotriose?
What polysaccharide(s) is/are predominant in raw rice?
Maltose, a sugar resulting from the breakdown of starch, is composed of two glucose units. Is maltose considered a reducing sugar? Explain.
