Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For example, glucose monomers are the constituents of starch, glycogen, and cellulose. These three are polysaccharides, classified as carbohydrates, that have formed as a result of multiple dehydration synthesis reactions between glucose monomers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dehydration Synthesis of Glucose To form these larger structures like disaccharides and polysaccharides, glucose molecules must undergo dehydration synthesis. Figure 4 shows the dehydration synthesis reaction between glucose and fructose to form the disaccharide sucrose.
