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

This type of saccharide comes in many forms such as a Linear shape or a branched shape. It’s made up of many monomers, and it is also called glycan. Examples, starch, cellulose are all in this type of carbohydrate.

A	Monosaccharide
B	Disaccharide
C	Trisaccharide
D	Polysaccharide

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A polysaccharide is a large molecule made of many smaller monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars, like glucose. Special enzymes bind these small monomers together creating large sugar polymers, or polysaccharides. A polysaccharide is also called a glycan.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides can be a straight chain of monosaccharides known as linear polysaccharides, or it can be branched known as a branched polysaccharide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, glycogen is a very branched polysaccharide. Starch is the way that glucose is stored in plants.
