Have a little read: ... Describe what happens to saccharide units in starch when taken in by the mouth for digestion until the assimulation into muscle cells. Starch is a polymer of glucose (a saccharide unit). Amylose starch molecule. Polysaccharides are formed when many hundreds of monosaccharides units condense to form chains. These chains of monosaccharides may be: * Of a variable length, although usually at a greater length. * Branched or unbranched * Folded so that the molecule is "compact" and ideal for storage, e.g. starch and glycogen. * Straight or coiled - good for construction. Most of the important polysaccharides are made from hexose units, so are called hexosans. Many are made from glucose itself. So are called glucosans. Glucose units can from long chains in three ways. Amylose and cellulose are completely straight. Starch is a mixture of both amylose and amylopectin. Glycogen is amylopectin with very short lengths between
