Answer the following question given this paragraph: Polysaccharides are long carbohydrate molecules of repeated monomer units joined together by glycosidic bonds. A polysaccharide may contain anywhere from a few monosaccharides to several thousand monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are also called complex carbohydrates . Polysaccharides have a general formula of C x (H2O) y , where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. Considering that the repeating units in the polymer backbone are often six-carbon monosaccharides, the general formula can also be represented as (C 6 H 10 O 5 ) n , where 40n3000. Q: What is the term for long carbohydrate molecules of repeated monomer units joined together by glycosidic bonds? Choices: - fibres - template strands - hydrocarbons - polysaccharides A:
The answer to this question is:
polysaccharides
