Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -99 molecules of water will be required. Explanation : The number of water molecules required to hydrolyse a polysaccharide made up of n glucose sub-units will be = (n-1) = 100–1 = 99 water molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -As a rule of thumb, polysaccharides contain more than ten monosaccharide units, whereas oligosaccharides contain three to ten monosaccharide units, but the precise cutoff varies somewhat according to the convention. Polysaccharides are an important class of biological polymers.
