I believe it's D
Explanation:
I think its d because genetic engineering can cure genetic diseases
The type of bond that joins monosaccharides and is easily digested by enzymes in human intestine is an alpha bond.
Further Explanation:
Carbohydrates are biomolecules which comprises of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. They mostly include starch, cellulose and sugars. This when consumed by an organism is broken down into its simplest form (monosaccharides) and used to produce energy. This action requires digestive enzyme amylase.
Monosaccharides are most simple sugars which are product of breakdown of complex carbohydrates. Breakdown of these carbohydrates are brought by digestive enzymes present in saliva and in small intestine. The enzyme responsible for this digestion is salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase.
These enzymes cleave the bond and giving rise to two monosaccharides. These bonds are alpha bonds that help in connecting two monosaccharides. The digestive enzyme amylase present in saliva and in pancreatic juices helps to bring down the digestion. The partially digested food reaches the intestine where the enzyme acts on it, this is called as chyme.
Glucose is the most abundant form of energy giving compound which undergoes respiration to form ATP which is a basic energy giving molecule in the entire living organism.
