Answer:

The correct answer is C. Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are made up of a long chain of sugar molecules called monosaccharides that are joined together by glycosidic bonds. They are classified as structural and storage polysaccharides.  

Polysaccharides are more difficult to digest than monosaccharides because they are very large and require to be broken in smaller forms of monosaccharides so that it can easily be absorbed by the body.

Therefore polysaccharides like glycogen and starch are broken down in small intestine by pancreatic amylase into monosaccharides like maltose and dextrins and then absorbed in the body through villi present in small intestine.

Explain how using renewable and recyclable materials can benefit the environment.
Ierofanga [76]

Let's assume that the ability to cross one's eyes is a mendelian trait, in that it is determined by only two alleles, which can
Lesechka [4]

Let 'C' denote the dominant trait of eye-crossing and 'c' denote the recessive trait of not being able to cross the eyes. The genotype of the father is heterozygous dominant for the trait of eye-crossing. This is denoted by 'Cc'. The mother is homozygous recessive for the trait of eye-crossing, denoted by 'cc'. The mating between the two will result in following genotypes: two of 'Cc' and two of 'cc'. Therefore the probability that the child will be able to cross his or her eyes is 0.5 or 50%.
