When sugars polymerize in long chains, they may form any of the following except:

glycogen

cellulose

starch

protein

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is- proteins

Explanation:

Sugar polymerize to form several polymers like glycogen, cellulose, starch, chitin. Glycogen is a sugar polymer which acts as a reserve energy source in muscles in animals.

Cellulose is a sugar polymer that makes the cell wall of plant cell and starch is a sugar polymer that acts as energy storage form in plant cells. Protein can not be formed by sugar polymerization in long-chain because sugar is not the monomeric unit of protein and the monomeric unit of protein is amino-acid.

Therefore amino acid is required to be polymerized to form proteins.

Sugar is a sweet-tasting carbohydrate. The carbohydrate is the macromolecules, which are made up of saccharides as their monomeric units.

The correct answer is:

Option D. Protein

The carbohydrate cane is explained as:

  • Glycogen is a type of multi-branched polysaccharide made up of glucose. It is the primary storage of energy in animals.

  • Cellulose is formed of a linear chain of thousands of [tex]\beta[/tex]-glucose units. It is the important structural unit of the cell wall of green plants.  

  • Starch is the primary storehouse of energy in plants. Starch is made up of [tex]\alpha[/tex]-glucose units, linked together by glycosidic bonds.  

  • Proteins are biomolecules, which are made up of long chains of amino acids. The amino acids are linked by peptide bonds.

Thus, the correct answer is Proteins.
