Question
a starch molecule may contain thousands of smaller glucose subunits. which of the following statements is true?
o glucose is a monomer of starch.
o glucose in an enantiomer of starch.
o glucose is an isomer of starch.
o glucose is a polymer of starch.
Starch is a polysaccharide made up of glucose monomers. Enantiomers are non - superimposable mirror images, isomers have the same formula but different structures, and a polymer is made of monomers, not the other way around. So glucose is a monomer of starch.
