Why can two four sugar polysaccharides be different even if both consist of two glucose monomers and two galactose monomers?

They can be arranged in different ways - for example, in a different order, or even a straight chain vs. forked (I am not quite sure whether this is possible with sugar monomers).

How many 4 digit numbers are there consist of all different digits?
1344
What do you mean by a fraction of petroleum?
Petroluem does not consist of a single substance but is a mixture of many substances - mostly several different hydrocarbons. These are separated by a process called fractional distillation. These different components are called fractions.
Does Binary numbers consist of ones and twos?
No, binary numbers don't consist of ones and twos, they are ones and zeros.
How many number combinations can you make out of the numbers 1-6?
7
Do a variable expression consist only of numbers?
No, because numbers never vary. A variable expression must have something in it that can take on different values, usually a letter, like 'x' for example.
How could two four-sugar oligosaccharides be structurally different even if both consist of two glucose monomers and two galactose monomers?
Sugars have hydroxyl groups on most of their carbon atoms. Linkage between molecules can therefore happen using different hydroxyl groups.
What are the four variations of monomers?
The four different types of monomers consist of: 1. Proteins 2. Carbohydrates 3. lipids 4. nucleic acids
Do polysaccharides consist of polymers?
It woule be more accurate to say that polysaccharides are polymers.
Are carbohydrates polysaccharides?
Some are, some are not.There are four kinds of carbohydrates, or sugars:Monosaccharides consist of one molecule (examples include glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, ribose, etc.)Disaccharides consist of two molecules (examples include sucrose, lactose, maltose, etc.)Oligosaccharides consist of a few molecules (examples include fructo-oligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, mannan oligosaccharides, etc.)Polysaccharides consist of many molecules (examples include starch, glycogen, cellulose, pectins, etc.)
What are the names of the four different variations of these monomers?
The four different types of monomers consist of: 1. Proteins 2. Carbohydrates 3. lipids 4. nucleic acids
The polysaccharides are known as carbohydrates?
Yes polysaccharides are carbohydrates. These are complex carbohydrates as they consist of long (sometimes) branched sturctures. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, cellulose and glycogen.
What are four different variations of monomer?
The four different types of monomers consist of: 1. Proteins 2. Carbohydrates 3. lipids 4. nucleic acids
What are the building blocks of (monomers)of DNA?
The monomers of DNA are nucleotides, which consist of the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
What is the composition of bacterial capsules?
Bacterial capsules consist of a layer of polysaccharides and small proteins.
What type of a polysaccharide can be found in plant cells that consist entirely of glucose monomers?
Starch
Which of the major types of biological molecules does NOT consist of monomers and polymers?
The major type of biological molecules that does not consist of monomers and polymers are Lipids. Although triglycerides are created by the combination of similar molecules, others, steroids, are not.
How many different kinds of monomers are there in nucleic acids?
The monomers of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. There are only two types of nucleic acid: RNA and DNA. Both nucleotides contain a ribose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.
