Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are biomolecules that contain hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. They are generally structured as a chain of carbons with hydroxyl groups, and ketones or aldehydes. The subtypes include;

Monosaccharides

Disaccharides

Polysaccharides

Monosaccharides are generally represented by the formula CH2On. They are classified based on the number of carbon atoms they have. Example, hexoses have 6 carbon atoms, pentose, 5, diose, 2 etc. They are also classified based on whether they have ketones or aldehydes. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose and fructose.

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides form glycosidic bond through a dehydration reaction. Examples of disaccharides include; maltose, lactose, and sucrose which is made up of glucose and fructose. An oligosaccharide is made up of 2-10 monosaccharides and are often components of glycoproteins or glycolipids.

Polysaccharides, also called complex carbohydrates are long-chain carbohydrates made of repeated monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Examples are starches and glycogen.

10pts 5 stars and a thanks if right, 1 star if wrong

Hey!
So for the first answer, neither Fungi or Bacteria contains the given protein.
For the second answer, I'm pretty sure that I think that Fungi can reproduce asexually or sexually, while Bacteria can only do it asexually.
For the fourth answer, bacteria can be both, but fungi scavenges nutrients from dead organic material.
That leaves answer three, which is true.

I hope this helped! I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
