amino acids
|
|
|
disaccharides
|
|
|
glycogen

|
|
cellulose

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration reaction (a condensation reaction); they are held together by a covalent bond. Sucrose (table sugar) is the most common disaccharide, which is composed of the monomers glucose and fructose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide units linked together by a glycosidic bond. The most common glycosidic bonds connecting monosaccharide units are O-glycosidic bonds in which the oxygen from a hydroxyl group becomes linked to the carbonyl carbon.
