1. Glucose is a 6-Carbon molecules (called a Hexose) of the aldose type.  Therefore glucose is a aldohexose.  Glucose's most stable shape is in the form of a ring.
2. Starch is a polysaccharide that is present in plants such as potatoes, rice, or wheat.  
3. Amylose is a starch polysaccharide that has a tendency to form coils. 

 

4. Amino acides have a primary aminogroup NH2 and a carboxyl group -COOH
