While monosaccharides typically all have a molecular formula that is a multiple of CH20, they differ in factors such as the length of the carbon skeleton or the orientation of their atoms around asymmetric carbon atoms. What is the impact of this variation in molecular structure? 1.) Different monosaccharides will form disaccharides with the same properties. 2.) Cells will use more energy to metabolize a wider variety of polysaccharides. 3.) Molecules that all share the same bonding pattern but have different properties will be produced. 4.) Sugars with different properties that can build a wide variety of carbohydrates will result.

Sugars with different properties that can build a wide variety of carbohydrates will result.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer.This is because the arrangement of the monosaccharides units though the linking of the monomers with the glycosidic bonds via condensation reaction  goes a long way to determine the orientation of the monosccharides and therefore the chemical properties  displays.

Therefore when monosaccharides are linked by glycosidic bonds  in different ways to form diasaccharidesa and polysacharrides,these macromolecueles  display different chemical properties and physical properties  from one another.

This is evident in cellulose((beta-glucose) whose 3-helix structure    strengthened the wall of green plants.This orientation ensures that the hydrogen of -OH group is attached to the Oxygen of the same  OH in the same molecule,or to that of another molecule.This formed hydrogen bond strong enough to form microfibrils which are held by fibres.

This is different from the structure of glycogen(from alpha 1,4 and 1,6-glycosidic bonds) despite the two been formed from monoscacharides. This is also evident in the structure of  starch  formed by alpha glucose

It is the orientation of the monomoers of the monosccharides in space that determines this different properties

the answer is b: 1.4 km/hr
