Question

a complex carbohydrate made of many glucose molecules is known as a (1 point)
trisaccharide.
multisaccharide.
polysaccharide.
saccharide

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Carbohydrates are classified based on the number of sugar units. Monosaccharides are single - sugar units, disaccharides are two - sugar units, and polysaccharides are made up of many sugar units. Glucose is a monosaccharide, and a complex carbohydrate made of many glucose molecules is a polysaccharide. There is no such thing as trisaccharide in common carbohydrate classification in this context, and "saccharide" is a general term, and "multisaccharide" is not a standard term for this.

Answer:

C. polysaccharide
