Answer 1

• Carbohydrates

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucose is an organic molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. This simple sugar has the formula C6H12O6 - 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms and is used as an essential means of obtaining chemical energy through various forms of respiration.

Polysaccharides are long chain carbohydrates. These are formed from the sugar monomer glucose, in its ringed formation. The successive molecules form 1,4-glycosidic bonds.
