Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Monosaccharides are bonded with a ____ to form polysaccharides.
A
Amino bond
B
Glycosidic bond
C
Peptide bond
D
Hydrogen bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Multiple monosaccharides linked together form a polysaccharide, poly-meaning many. Monosaccharides are joined together by covalent bonds, called glycosidic bonds. A glycosidic bond is formed via a condensation reaction, which is also called dehydration synthesis .

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is a storage form of energy in animals. It is a branched polysaccharide composed of alpha-D-glucose units with -1, 4 and -1, 6-glycosidic bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a polysaccharide that consists entirely of glucose molecules that are linked by two types of bonds-the alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bond and the alpha-1, 6-glycosidic bond. The alpha-1, 4-glycosidic bond is the more common bond and it gives glycogen a helical structure that is suitable for energy storage.
