Solution

The correct option is A Hemicellulose
Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides made up of glucose. Both of these are homopolysaccharides of glucose. Starch is a storage polysaccharide but cellulose is the structural polysaccharide. Maltose is a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose. Hemicellulose is a mixture of polymerised xylans, mannans, glucomannans, galactans, xyloglucans and arabinogalactans.
