Pick up the one which yields glucose molecules upon hydrolysis:
Correct answer: D. All of them
- A. Starch
- B. Glycogen
- C. Cellulose
- D. All of them
Explanation
Cellulose yields glucose through a process called hydrolysis, where the bonds between glucose units are broken. This process can be achieved using acids or enzymes, which break the beta -1,4-glycosidic bonds that link the glucose monomers together to form the cellulose polymer. Glycogen, like starch, consists of alpha-glucose units and also releases glucose upon hydrolysis.Starch is composed of alpha-glucose units. Upon hydrolysis, it breaks down to release glucose molecules.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
