Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To answer the question regarding the monosaccharide units present in starch, cellulose, and glucose, as well as the linkages that connect these units, we can break down the solution into the following steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Monosaccharide Units in Starch - Starch is a polysaccharide composed of two main components: amylose and amylopectin. - Upon hydrolysis, starch yields **alpha-D-glucose** as its monosaccharide unit. ### Step 2: Describe the Structure of Starch - **Amylose**: This is a linear chain of glucose units connected by **α(1→4) glycosidic linkages**. ...
