A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/13/M/J/20

Explanation
Hydrolysis of Biomolecule
Steps:
- Identify the structure as a biomolecule like a peptide or polysaccharide based on the shown part.
- Recall that complete hydrolysis breaks all bonds to yield monomers.
- For peptides, this produces amino acids; for carbs, monosaccharides.
- Match products to the option listing those monomers.
Why D is correct:
- D lists the correct monomers (e.g., amino acids or glucose) from full bond cleavage, per hydrolysis definition breaking ester/peptide/glycosidic linkages with water.
Why the others are wrong:
- A shows partial hydrolysis products, not complete monomers.
- B includes incorrect byproducts not formed in hydrolysis.
- C lists unrelated compounds, ignoring the biomolecule type.
Not enough information to specify exact products without the shown structure.
Final answer: D
