Which biomolecules function is least likely to be affected by the sequence of its molecules?
A
DNA
B
RNA
C
Starch
D
Amino Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccharides may be very large molecules. Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin are examples of polysaccharides. Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up of amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose).

Detailed explanation-2: -The basic chemical formula of the starch molecule is (C6H10O5)n. Starch is a polysaccharide comprising glucose monomers joined in 1, 4 linkages.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the most basic level, a biomolecule’s function is dictated by its structure. The molecule’s shape and chemical properties facilitate interactions with other molecules and determine its role in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The answer is a. Carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are usually used to provide energy in an organism. Carbohydrates are the primary sources of energy and if the carbohydrate storage gets depleted, the lipids and proteins start to get metabolized.
