Answered by admin @



The correct answer is option a.

Carbohydrates comprise of single-sugar units known as monosaccharides, double-monosaccharide units called multiple-monosaccharide and disaccharides, which form the starches. The main aim of the carbohydrates that one consume is to provide energy to the cells.

On the other hand, the building elements of the proteins are known as amino acids. The proteins comprise of twenty distinct amino acids, mixed and matched to produce a huge variety of bigger molecules, which encourage every procedure in the body.
