Which one of the following is a heteropolysaccharide?

Options

  1. AStarch
  2. BGlycogen
  3. CHeparin
  4. DCellulose

Correct answer

C. Heparin

Step-by-step solution

Polysaccharides are classified into homopolysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides based on the type of monosaccharide units they contain. Starch is a homopolysaccharide composed entirely of D-glucose units. Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide composed entirely of D-glucose units. Cellulose is a homopolysaccharide composed entirely of D-glucose units. Heparin is a heteropolysaccharide (specifically a glycosaminoglycan) composed of repeating disaccharide units of different sugars, such as D-glucuronic acid or L-iduronic
