Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Canesugar
Canesugar (Sucrose) is a disaccharide. It is composed of two monosaccharide units: glucose and fructose.
Starch, Cellulose, and Glycogen are all polysaccharides. They are complex carbohydrates made up of many (hundreds to thousands) monosaccharide units (primarily glucose) linked together.
- Starch is the primary energy storage in plants.
- Cellulose provides structural support in plant cell walls.
- Glycogen is the energy storage form in animals and fungi.
