Solution
Homopolymer: Polymers that are made up of same type of monomers. E.g. Polyethylene, polystyrene, poly vinyl chloride etc.
Heteropolymer: Polymers that are made up of different types of monomers. E.g. rubber, protein, ethylene vinyl acetate etc.
Sucrose is a heteropolymer as it contains two types of sugar residues – glucose and fructose. Sucrose is a disaccharide having a glycosidic bond between two types of sugar.
