Answer:

Monosaccharide: single sugar molecule, glucose

Disaccharide: formed from two monosaccharide units, table sugar Polysaccharide: three or more sugar molecules, starch

Explanation:

<u>Monosaccharides</u> are simple carbohydrates as they do not undergo hydrolysis and contain a single sugar molecule (C₆H₁₂O₆). Monosaccharides are important sources of energy for the functioning of the human body.

The main monosaccharides are: Glucose (found in fruits and honey), galactose (found in milk), fructose (also found in honey and fruits) and ribose (composes the structure of DNA - ribonucleic acid).

<u>Disaccharides</u> have two monosaccharide units and are the most important oligosaccharides (formed by the union of 2 to 10 monosaccharides). Disaccharides are water soluble and are part of our daily diet, such as table sugar.

The main disaccharides are: Sucrose (composed of glucose + fructose), Lactose (composed of glucose + lactose) and Maltose (composed of glucose + glucose)

<u>Polysaccharides</u>, in turn, are composed of a large number of monosaccharide molecules (some have more than 10), with glucose being the monosaccharide most present in the formation of polysaccharides.

The best known polysaccharides are: Starch (present in various plant species, used as an energy source for our body), glycogen (acts as an energy reserve, being synthesized in humans in the liver and muscles) and cellulose (present mainly in the cell wall of vegetables, it is not digested by the human organism but is of great importance for bowel function).

Answer:

Carbohydrates are also called as saccharides and they are classified as Monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.

Explanation:

Mono-saccharides - Carry only single sugar molecule. Example: Glucose, fructose and ribose.

Oligo-saccharides - contain 2-10 sugar molecules. If a saccharide is made up of 2 sugar molecules then its called disaccharide. If it contains 3 sugar molecules then its called trisaccharide. Example of disaccharides: Sucrose which is the table sugar is made of glucose + fructose. Lactose is the milk sugar which is made up of galactose and glucose.

Polysaccharides - these contain more than 10 sugar units. Example: starch, glycogen, cellulose.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The weather and time do affect crime. The time of day, like late at night, is when most crimes occur. Since it's dark out, the criminal won't be seen as easily compared to during the day. Crime also spikes during warm weather since it seems to be easier for the criminal.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Elbow

Explanation:

Muscle works in pairs and groups e.g biceps flexes the elbow and triceps extend it and it is called antagonistic muscle action.

The working muscle is called the primer mover or agonist. The relaxing muscle by another muscle is called synergists.

When muscles cause a limb to move through the joint range of motion,it could be synergists or antagonists.
