Step-by-step explanation:

The main energy source in humans is glucose, which is a monosaccharide. Through cellular respiration, ATP is produced from glucose. ATP is the energy currency of biochemical reactions in the human body. On the other hand, a polymer of this monosaccharide (beta glucose) is cellulose, which is found in plants as part of their cell wall.

We can conclude that the correct answer is:
