Answer:

by the formation of glycosidic bond between simple sugars/monosaccharides.

Explanation:

A polymer is generally considered a chemical substance built from small similar units of chemicals.

Carbohydrate polymers such as starch and cellulose are formed by polymerization reaction involving simple sugars or monosaccharides.

During polymerization process, energy is used to form a glycosidic linkage between monosaccharide molecules. The linkage occur through a dehydration reaction between two simple sugars leading to the elimination of water.

Cells build carbohydrate polymers by using energy to form glycosidic linkages, the bonds between monosaccharides. A dehydration synthesis reaction forms a bond between carbon atoms in two monosaccharides, sandwiching an oxygen atom between them and releasing a water molecule

These are fossils of a fish (vagrant pelagic vertebrate; sample a), and a coral (sessile benthic cnidarian; sample b). in genera

densk [106]

The coral fossil would be a better estimate of past water depth. This is because most corals inhabit shallow water reefs, less than 150 feet deep. In contrast, pelagic fish may inhabit any open water (pelagic) part of the ocean, with depths ranging anywhere from a couple of hundred feet deep to miles in depth.
