Question

A polymer is a large molecule that forms when smaller molecules known as monomers bond covalently in a repeating pattern. There are many biological polymers such as nucleic acids, proteins, and starches. What are the monomer units that make up starches?

Answer 1

Answer:

glucose

Explanation:

Starch -

Starch is generated by the plants , and is a granular , white , organic compound .

The general formula of the starch is (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ , the n shows it to be a polymer , and it is composed of small monomers of glucose , that are linked  at the alpha 1 , 4 linkages.

Starch is is colorless , and tasteless powder.

The most simplest form of starch is the linear polymer amylose , and the branched one amylopectin.
