Analyze the statements below and select those that correctly apply to polysaccharide structure and function.
a.) Starch is composed of beta-glucose joined by 1,4 bonds, producing long linear chains of polysaccharides that are hydrogen-bonded along their length.
b.) Peptidoglycan is composed of polysaccharide attached to short chain amino acids and is an integral component of certain bacterial cell walls.
c.) Starch, cellulose, and glycogen are all polymers of glucose that differ because of the additional macromolecules associated with each.
d.) Polysaccharides are formed when monosaccharides are joined through hydrolysis reactions.
e.) Cellulose is composed of beta-glucose joined by 1,4 bonds, producing long linear chains of polysaccharides that are hydrogen-bonded along their length.
