How is the polysaccharide heparin different from the glucose polysaccharides?

In contrast to the glucose polysaccharides that contain ______ as the repeating unit, heparin contains ______ as the repeating unit. The monosaccharides in _______ are charged, whereas _________ is not.

Choices:

Three monosaccharides, heparin, four monosaccharides, two monosaccharides, glucose

Solutions

Expert Solution

In contrast to the glucose polysaccharides that contain glucose as the repeating unit, heparin contains two monosaccharides as the repeating unit. The monosaccharides in heparin are charged, whereas glucose is not.

Glucose is a monosaccharide. Glucose polysaccharides are made of Glucose monomers

whereas, Heparin is a disaccharide. It contain 2 monosaccharides.

Monosaccharides of Haparin are sulfated (SO3 - ) compounds. Hence have negative charge.

Whereas, Glucose is a neutral compound.

Assign each statement to the corresponding polysaccharide. Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. Homopolysaccarides are made up of only one type of monomer, whereas heteropolysaccharides are composed of at least two different kinds of monomers. Are starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin classified as homopolymers or heteropolymers? All four polysaccharides are homopolymers. All four polysaccharides are heteropolymers. Starch is a heteropolymer, whereas chitin, cellulose, and glycogen are homopolymers. Chitin is a heteropolymer, whereas starch, cellulose, and glycogen are homopolymers.
