Question

Which of the following is an example of a polysaccharide?
A) glycogen
B) glucose
C) fructose
D) deoxyribose
E) sucrose

Accepted Answer

Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that is formed by joining many glucose units together. It is a polysaccharide commonly found in animals and serves as a storage form of glucose. The other options are monosaccharides (glucose, fructose) or disaccharides (sucrose) and not polysaccharides. Deoxyribose is a component of DNA and is not a carbohydrate.
