Question

What best describes the relationship between starch and glucose? A. Starch and glucose are reactants that combine to form proteins. B. Starch is a monomer that is used to make glucose. C. Starch is a polymer made of glucose monomers. D. Starch and glucose are reactants that combine to form nucleic acids.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

Polymers are large molecules that are made up of single monomeric units called monomers. Examples of polymers and there corresponding monomers are

Protein (Polymer) ⇔ Amino acids (monomers)

Starch (polymer) ⇔ glucose (monomers)

polythene (polymer) ⇔ ethene (monomers)

Deoxyribonucleic acid (polymer) ⇔ nucleotide (monomers)

The glucose monomers are linked together in a starch molecule by glycosidic bonds.
