Question

which would provide the body with the most energy?
a. breaking the bonds in a polysaccharide
b. breaking a double carbon bond
c. forming bonds between lipids
d. creating bonds to form a nucleic acid

Explanation:

Breaking bonds releases energy. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates and breaking their bonds provides energy for the body. Breaking a single double - carbon bond releases less energy compared to the multiple bonds in a polysaccharide. Forming bonds (options C and D) requires energy input rather than providing it.

Answer:

A. Breaking the bonds in a polysaccharide
