Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Starch is a ____ because it is made of many sugars sub units

A	monosaccarhides
B	Disaccarhides
C	Polysaccharides
D	Protein

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccharides are very large polymers composed of tens to thousands of monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic linkages. The three most abundant polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Starch is homopolysaccharide as it is made up of multiple units of glucose only. The multiple units of glucose are joined by alpha linkage. In structural polysaccharide like cellulose, the multiple units of glucose are joined by beta linkage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is a polysaccharide made up of 1, 4 linkages between glucose monomers. The chemical formula of the starch molecule is (C6H10O5)n. Starch is made up of long chains of sugar molecules that are connected together. The linear polymer amylose is the most basic form of starch, while amylopectin is the branched form.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Polysaccharides are composed of monosaccharide subunits.
