Question

1 monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates. they can be combined to form more complex carbohydrates known as polysaccharides, which are typically used for long term energy storage within a cell based on the information above, it can be concluded that
a. simple organic molecules can be organized into much longer, more complex molecules.
b. simple organic molecules are not necessary for the life processes of an organism.
c. complex organic molecules cannot contain more than one carbon atom.
d. complex organic molecules can only be formed by the polymerization of inorganic molecules.

Explanation:

• Option A: The text says monosaccharides (simple carbs) combine to form polysaccharides (complex carbs), so simple organic molecules can form longer, complex ones. This matches.
• Option B: Monosaccharides are used for energy storage, so simple molecules are necessary. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Complex carbs like polysaccharides have multiple carbon atoms. Eliminate C.
• Option D: The example shows complex molecules (polysaccharides) form from simple organic (monosaccharides), not inorganic. Eliminate D.

Answer:

A. simple organic molecules can be organized into much longer, more complex molecules.
