Question

What are sucrose and starch?

Answer 1

Both sucrose and starch are carbohydrates.

Explanation:

Both sucrose and starch are macromolecules, made up of basic units called monosaccharides.

Sucrose is a di-saccharide. It is made up of one glucose and one fructose. On hydrolysis, sucrose breaks into its component units of glucose and fructose.

Starch is a polysaccharide, made up of large number of glucose units. Starch is hydrolyzed to form glucose.
