Options

  1. ADuring their formation, many molecules of water are removed from the monosaccharide (dehydration synthesis), c
  2. BPolysaccharides are broken down by enzymes for the release of energy whenever required.
  3. CUnlike small carbohydrates, polysaccharides are relatively easy to store.
  4. DAll of these

Correct answer

D. All of these

Step-by-step solution

Storing carbohydrates in the form of polysaccharides condenses the bulk to be stored, in a relatively easier form, and can be broken down by enzymes whenever energy is required.
