Name of the monomers of starch.
Open in App
Solution
Monomers of starch:
- Monomers are small chemical compounds that can be combined with other monomers to form bigger molecules known as polymers.
- Every monomer molecule can bond to at least two other monomers chemically.
- Glucose monomers are starch monomers.
- Starch is a polysaccharide made up of α -1,4 connections between glucose monomers.
- The most basic type of starch is amylose, which is a linear polymer, and amylopectin, which is a branching polymer.
