18
Q

Refers to complex carbohydrates with more than 15 monosaccharide units.

A

Polysaccharide

19
Q

Yields glucose upon hydrolysis and is made up of two chief portion namely amylose and amylopectin.

20
Q

Straight chained and soluble components.

21

Refers to the branched orderly and crystalline portion.

A

Amylopectin

22
Q

Are highly branched, tree-like structured animal polysaccharide.

23
Q

They are formed in the body from glucose and are stored in the liver and muscle.

24
Q

Are intermediate products of starch digestion and are more soluble and shorter than glucose units.

25

26
Q

Refers to the insoluble or soluble polysaccharides of various monosaccharides with branching chains.

A

Hemicellulose

27
Q

Pertain to indigestible but soluble fiber that highly absorbs water.
