Q
are disaccharides the same as polymers
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Disaccharides are a type of carbohydrate made up of two monosaccharide molecules joined together. Examples include sucrose and lactose. While they are technically polymers because they consist of simpler units (monosaccharides) linked together, they are often distinguished from the broader class of polymers due to their specific structure and relatively small size. Polymers, in a broader sense, refer to large molecules composed of many repeated subunits, and can include a wide range of substances such as plastics (polyethylene), proteins (amino acid chains), and polysaccharides (cellulose and starch). Therefore, disaccharides can be considered simple polymers, but the term "polymer" usually implies larger, more complex molecules.
