|
If carbohydrates are broken down into small units, then why are these units often joined back together?
|
|
So extra monosaccharides can be joined and stored for later use
|
|
|
Because monosaccharides are too small to fit through the cell membrane
|
|
|
Because monosaccharides are too small to be used
|
|
|
So extra monosaccharides can be joined and transform into organs
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrate, which means they cannot be hydrolyzed or broken down into smaller carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are important molecules that complex carbohydrates are broken down into, in order to generate energy. They are also essential for building nucleic acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The smallest pieces carbohydrates are digested into are called monosaccharides. Larger carbohydrates are called polysaccharides which are broken down by enzymes into smaller structures such as oligosaccharides or disaccharides.
