Question
More than __________ units of monosaccharides join together to form the polysaccharides
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
While definitions vary, a polysaccharide is generally defined as a carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a large number of monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds. A common threshold is more than 10 monosaccharide units. Oligosaccharides consist of 2-10 units.
Hint
Polysaccharides are polymers made of many sugar units. The threshold is typically around 10.
