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

Which of the following is a radially symmetrical animal with stinging tentacles?

madreJ [45]

The answer is B. Cnidarians

Cnidarian body has no left or right side, only tom and bottom surfaces. If you divide cnidarian a about central point, you will get equal parts. So, cnidarians are radially symmetrical animals. This group includes hydroids, jellyfish, anemones, and corals. In all groups, animals have stinging cells on tips of tentacles. They use them to capture the prey. Their name literally means stinging creatures.
