Polysaccharides in plant foods may function as a stored form of energy (starch) or an indigestible material (fiber) depending on:

A. the presence of water.

B. how many monosaccharides are present.

C. whether the food is raw or cooked.

D. the type of bonds between the monosaccharides

Answer: Option D) the type of bonds between the monosaccharides

Explanation:

Polysaccharides in plant foods that serve as a stored form of energy include starch, or an indigestible material (fiber) like Cellulose.

Starch consists of monosaccharides i. e glucose units with an alpha α-1, 4-glycosidic bond; while cellulose fiber has the same glucose units, but linked by beta β-1, 4-glycosidic bonds

Thus, both polysaccharides differ based on the types of bonds between the monosaccharides.
