Read the following statements and identify the correct ones regarding polysaccharides. 1 . Polysaccharides are made of many sugars joined together. 2 . Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of less than 10 monomeric units. 3 . Polysaccharides are found as a part of the acid insoluble pellet. 4 . In a polysaccharide chain, the right end is called reducing end and the left end is called non-reducing end.

Options

  1. AAll are correct
  2. BAll except 2
  3. COnly 1 and 4
  4. DOnly 2

Correct answer

B. All except 2

Step-by-step solution

Polysaccharides (type of carbohydrates) comes under the class of macromolecules. Macromolecules form the part of retentate (acid insoluble fraction) when a living tissue is treated with trichloroacetic acid. Polysaccharides form long chains of sugars made by joining same or different monosaccharides together. Cellulose is a polysaccharide having more than 10 units of only one type of monosaccharide - glucose. In a polysaccharide chain (say glycogen), the right end is called the reducing end and the left end is call
