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? A. Polysaccharide formation allows organisms to store more energy per carbohydrate bond. B. Polysaccharide formation limits the number of carbohydrate bonds that can be formed. C. Polysaccharide formation limits the amount of energy an organism can store. D. Polysaccharide formation allows organisms to store energy more efficiently.
