The polysaccharide that is not made up of only one type of monosaccharide is

Options

  1. Aglycogen
  2. Bcellulose
  3. Cinulin
  4. Dall of the above

Correct answer

C. inulin

Step-by-step solution

Polysaccharide having only one type of monosaccharide are called homopolymers. Polymers of glucose are called as Glucans. Glycogen, cellulose, and starch are polymers of glucose. Inulin is the naturally occurring polysaccharide, composed mainly of fructose units, and it can have a terminal glucose unit. So, inulin, which contains terminal glucose units is a heteropolymer, and inulin which has no terminal glucose units is a homopolymer.
