Question

1. Starch act as .......
(a) Small molecules
(c) Intermediate molecules
(b) Macromolecules
(d) Monomers​

Answer 1

Answer:

(d)Monomers

Explanation:

Starch is a polysaccharide comprising glucose monomers joined in α 1,4 linkages. The simplest form of starch is the linear polymer amylose; amylopectin is the branched form

Answer 2

Starch acts as a Monomer. (Option D)

• A monomer is a molecule of any of a class of compounds, mostly organic, that can react with other molecules to form very large molecules, or polymers.

• Starch is a  polysaccharide that is a complex carbohydrate polymer formed from the linkage of many monosaccharide monomers.

• Starch comprises of glucose monomers joined in α 1,4 linkages.
• The simplest form of starch is the linear polymer amylose; amylopectin is the branched form.
• It is made up of long chains of sugar molecules that are connected together. The linear polymer amylose is the most basic form of starch, while amylopectin is the branched form.
