Question

Q.A false statement w.r.t. polysaccharides is that
(a) They are considered as macromolecules just like polypeptides
(b) They can be structures containing different monosaccharides as building blocks.
(c) In a polysaccharide chain, the right end is called the non reducing while the left is called reducing end
(d) Highly helical structures of some polysaccharides like starch can hold I2 molecules

Best one will be marked as brainlist.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Polysaccharides (/ˌpɒliˈsækəraɪd/), or polycarbohydrates, are the most abundant carbohydrate found in food. They are long chain polymeric carbohydrates composed of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages. This carbohydrate can react with water (hydrolysis) using amylase enzymes as catalyst, which produces constituent sugars (monosaccharides, or oligosaccharides). They range in structure from linear to highly branched. Examples include storage polysaccharides such as starch, glycogen and galactogen and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin.
