Question

Explain the relationship between sugars (glucose) and starches (carbohydrates). Use the terms, monomer and polymer, in your explanation.

Answer 1

Check this figure out.

monomer, mono = single unit
polymer, poly = multiple units,

A polymer is made up of many monomers



from this figure can you tell me what is the monomer, what is the polymer and how do you know?

Answer 2

so glucose would be the monomer and starch would be the polymer?

Answer 3

yeah, how do you know though?

Answer 4

because in the figure the starch is shown as multiple units and the glucose is only one unit

Answer 5

Is that right @Photon336 ??
