Question

Which one of the following set is a polysaccharide group

• A. Glucose, fructose, lactose
• B. Starch, glycogen, cellulose
• C. Sucrose, maltose, glucose
• D. Galactose, starch, sucrose

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Starch, glycogen, cellulose

Polysaccharides are the long chain polymers of monosaccharides and are not sweet in taste.

They are divided into two;

1. Homopolysaccharide: -These are made up of only one type of monomers. Examples include the starch polymer of alpha d glucose (Storage material in plants), glycogen is also made of alpha d glucose (Storage material in animals), cellulose is made up of beta d glucose (present in plants cell)
   
2. Heteropolysaccharide:-These are made up of more than one type of monosaccharide. Examples include Pectin, Peptidoglycan, and Agar Agar.

So the correct option is "Starch, glycogen, cellulose"
