Primary structure
A measurement that tells how much energy your body can make from things being consumed.
Calories
Define what isomers are. You must clearly state: what is the same, and what is different, and what that produces.
Compounds with the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms, which lead to different properties.
This polysaccharide is found in nature, and made by plants linking many glucose molecules together.
Starch.
Bonus- are polysaccharides sweet to taste?
