Correct option is B
The correct answer is (B) A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Explanation:
• Starch and Inulin (A) are the primary storage carbohydrates in Plants (III).
• Maltose (B) is a disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecules (IV) linked together.
• Cellulose (C) is a structural polysaccharide composed of a very long chain of glucose polymers (II), forming the cell wall of plants.
• Glycogen (D) is the primary storage form of glucose in Animals (I) and humans.
Information Booster:
• Starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin.
• Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth, though humans cannot digest it due to the lack of the enzyme cellulase.
Additional Knowledge:
• Maltose is often called "malt sugar" and is produced during the breakdown of starch.
• Glycogen is stored mainly in the liver and muscle tissues of animals for quick energy release.
