Title: What are the features shared by all carbohydrates? Post by: smokinjoe531 on Feb 5, 2013 I answered "carbohydrates have a monomer called monosaccharides, small polymers called oligosaccharides, and the large polymer called polysaccharides," but I'm not sure if this is what they are asking.
Title: What are the features shared by all carbohydrates? Post by: rivs9 on Feb 5, 2013 how about:
a) contain C, H and O with the H and O in a 2:1 ratio like water b) glucose monomers are connected by dehydration synthesis (removal of a water molecule) c) each releases 4 cal per g of energy when digested That's all I've got tonight. Good luck |
