Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biomolecule has sugars and starches?
A
Lipids
B
Proteins
C
Carbohydrates
D
Nucleic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(iii) Polysaccharides: Carbohydrates which yield a large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis are called polysaccharides. Some common examples are starch, cellulose, glycogen, gums, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are biochemical compounds that include sugar, starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, glucose belongs to the carbohydrate biomolecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are covalently attached to many different biomolecules, including lipids, to form glycolipids, and proteins, to form glycoproteins. Glycoproteins and glycolipids are often found in biological membranes that allow other biomolecules to interact and bind to the protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -Starch is a polysaccharide (C6H10O5)n consisting of a large number of glucose monomers joined together by glycosidic bonds. It occurs especially in seeds, bulbs, and tubers. It belongs to a group of carbohydrates, which are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in the ratio of 1:2:1.
