answered: shhells

The correct answer is:

a.glucose

Explanation:

Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆. Glucose travels in the blood of animals as blood sugar. It is produced through photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight.Carbohydrates are one of the four essential macromolecules of life. They are a polymer produced up of monomers described as monosaccharides. These building blocks are simple sugars, e.g., glucose

A.Glucose is the carbohydrate monomer.

Further ExplanationCarbohydrates are large molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates may be simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates, also called simple sugars, are made up of single sugar molecules called monosaccharides or combinations of two monosaccharides called disaccharides. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose and fructose while lactose (combination of glucose and galactose) and sucrose (combination of glucose and fructose) are examples of disaccharides. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, are made up of long chains of repeating sugar units. This long chain of molecules is called a polymer and the repeating units are the monomers. Examples of carbohydrate polymers are cellulose, starch, and glycogen. Carbohydrates are the body’s source and storage of energy for the cells. Some carbohydrates like cellulose also give from to structures of living thing. Evaluating the Options

A.Glucose

TRUE Glucose is a monosaccharide. It may exist as a single sugar, be part of a disaccharide or be a monomer of a polysaccharide such as starch and glycogen which are made up of repeating units of glucose. Starch is found in plants such as rice, wheat, and potato.

B.Sucrose

FALSE Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of the monomers glucose and fructose.

C.Glucagon

FALSE Glucagon is not a carbohydrate. It is a hormone that is released from the pancreas to raise blood sugar levels.

D.Glycogen

FALSE Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of monomers of glucose. Like starch in plants, glycogen stores energy for animal cells. It is the carbohydrate found in liver cells and broken down to glucose in the process called glycogenolysis.

imagine a line passing through the center of earth that goes through both the north pole and the south pole. this imaginary line is called an axis. earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. this spinning movement is called earth's rotation. at the same time that the earth spins on its axis, it also orbits, or revolves around the sun. this movement is called revolution.

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. how will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases? because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that the washing of hands prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food. because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.
