Which list correctly matches the functions to the types of carbohydrates

This question is incomplete; it lacks options and they are:

A) Energy: glycogen and starch

Structure: cellulose and chitin

B) Energy: cellulose and chitin

Structure: glycogen and starch

C) Energy: chitin and glycogen

Structure: cellulose and starch

D) Energy: cellulose and starch

Structure: chitin and glycogen

The answer is option A

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are biological molecules in living systems. Polysaccharides are a type of carbohydrate molecules, which are polymers made up of monomers called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose etc. are joined together by glycosidic bonds to form this polysaccharides. However, polysaccharides found in nature are classified based on their function in their found organisms.

1) Energy: Glycogen and starch are the two carbohydrate polymers that function in this aspect. They are both made up of long chains of glucose unit linked by α glycosidic bonds. Glycogen stores energy in the animal cells while starch stores energy in plant cells.

2) Structure: Cellulose and Chitin are the two carbohydrate polymers involved in this function. Cellulose is made up of glucose monomer linked together by β glycosidic bonds. It is the major structural component found in the cell wall of plant cells. Chitin is also a polymer of N-acetyl glucosamine and the major structural component of the cell wall of oorganisms like fungi.

the menstrual cycle – higher tier. negative feedback mechanisms affect the production of hormones in the menstrual cycle. oestrogen also stimulates the release of lh (luteinising hormone) from the pituitary gland, which in turn controls the production of progesterone.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
