Living organisms use carbohydrates as an energy source. In the process of cellular respiration, carbohydrate bonds are broken, releasing energy that is used to fuel chemical reactions in cells. Monosaccharides are the most basic form of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides can be linked together to form long, compact chains called polysaccharides, which require less space than the equivalent amount of monosaccharides. Both plants and animals store excess carbohydrates as polysaccharides.

Which of the following best describes why the formation of polysaccharides is beneficial to organisms?

it creates acid rain

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

the answer is d p: cell, q: organ, r: organ system, s: tissue
