Answer:

A polysaccharide (n) can be formed by linking several monosaccharides through glycosidic linkages.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates, where monosaccharides join with glucosidic bonds to form a more complex structure that would be the polysaccharide.

An example of a polysaccharide is starch, or glycogen.

Starch is found in many foods such as potatoes or rice, and glycogen is a form of energy reserve of our organism housed in muscles and liver to fulfill locomotion, physical activity, and other activities that consist of glycolysis.

Polysaccharides are degraded in our body by different stages, and several enzymes unlike monosoccharides or disaccharides, since they have more unions and a more complex structure to disarm in our body and thus assimilate it.

Polysaccharides are also part of animal structures, such as insect shells or nutritional sources, among others.

State the physical property that makes it possible to separate a solution by distillation. Explain.

KengaRu [80]

Distillation is by definition separation by boiling point. Basically things that have lower boiling points will boil before things that have higher boiling points. so if you go into the temperature range between the two boiling points, one will boil and vaporize and one will remain a liquid (maybe solid).
