Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefix "poly-" means many, the root "sacchar-" means sugar, and the suffix "-ide" indicates that it is a chemical compound. Therefore, "polysaccharide" means a complex carbohydrate made up of many sugar molecules linked together, which is the same as a starch.

A monoglyceride is a molecule composed of one glycerol molecule linked to one fatty acid molecule, and is not the same as a starch.

A monosaccharide is a simple sugar, such as glucose or fructose, which is not the same as a starch.

Glycolysis and glycogenolysis are both processes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, but they do not refer specifically to the structure of a starch molecule.
