Let's boil some polysaccharides, and discover which type is harder to
break apart. Since the chains are held together by hydrogen bonds, we
should be able to break them apart by adding energy (heat) into the
water. By doing so in a model, we can can compare the strength of
attraction between cellulose fibers, and a branching polysaccharide like
starch.
</p>
<p>
<b>What to do:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
In the models below, the gray balls are monosaccharides (single
sugars) that are covalently bonded into polysaccharides.
</li>
<li>
Run the model and use the slider to increase the temperature.
</li>
<li>
Notice which polysaccharide breaks apart first.
