Question

A six-carbon sugar is an example of a ______ that can join with other molecules to form a _____ such as starch or cellulose

Answer 1

The answer is: molecule; carbohydrate. A six-carbon sugar is an example of a molecule that can join with other molecules to form a carbohydrate such as starch or cellulose. The basic unit of carbohydrate is monosaccharide. A six carbon sugar would be an example of a monosaccharide. And it can join with other simple sugars (monosaccharides) to form polysaccharides, such as starch or cellulose.

Answer 2

Answer;

Monomer , polymer

A six-carbon sugar is an example of a monomer that can join with other molecules to form a polymer such as starch or cellulose

Explanation;

-Monomer are smaller Individual molecules that can make up a larger molecule. Polymer are large molecules that are made up of many molecules (Macro-molecules).

-Glucose is a six carbon sugar that is a basic unit or building block or a monomer that makes up starch or cellulose polymers. Many glucose monomers join together via a glycosidic bond to form cellulose and starch polymers.
