The image below shows a polymer of glucose molecules. What type of macromolecule is this?
A
carbohydrate
B
protein
C
lipid
D
nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Glucose is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are mainly used for quick energy inside cells, but they also play an important role in cell structure and communication. Carbohydrates are macromolecules called polysaccharides, meaning they are made of many sugars.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is a hexose, a sugar composed of six carbon atoms, usually found in ring form. A starch macromolecule is a polysaccharide composed of thousands of glucose units.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are essential macromolecules that are classified into three subtypes: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are a major class of biological macromolecules that are an essential part of our diet and provide energy to the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -it is one unit, so a glucose molecule is a monomer (more specifically a monosaccharide) It can form a polymer ( being starch or glycogen) when a large number of glucose molecules joined together by glycosidic bonds.
