monomers..?

Question

I need an example of monosaccharides, polysaccharides, and disaccharides.

So far I have animal starches, glycogen, glucose, fructose, cellulose.

Thanks!

(I'm writing a paper on carbohydrates and lipids)

Answer 1

Monosaccharides :
glucose , fructose, mannose, galactose,idose,arabinose, allose,xylose,talose,altrose, lyxose, ribose, threose, erythrose, glyceraldehyde, etc

Disaccharides:
Fructo-oligosaccharides, inulin, sucrose, maltose, lactose etc

Polysaccharides:
Cellulose, starch, cellobiose, glucan, fructan ,pentan ,pectin, chitin, hemicellulose, etc.

Answer 2

Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids are all polymers (many monomers) put together by dehydration/condensation reactions (removal of a water molecule in most cases). 1. A carbohydrate is a macromolecule composed of many sugar (monosaccharides) monomers. An example of this may be maltose which is a disaccharide composed of two glucose momomers. 2. Proteins are the macromolecules composed of amino acid monomers. 3. Lipids are composed of triglycerides, in the case of fats. Theses fats are composed of a glycerol and 3 fatty acids. 4. Nucleic acids are the macromolecules composed of nucleotide polymers. These nucleotides are composed of a pentose (5 carbon sugar), phosphate and a nitrogenous base.

Answer 3

monosaccharides: glucose, fructose, galactose
disaccharides: sucrose, maltose, lactose
polysaccharides: starch, cellulose, chitin
