Polymer of fructose is:

AInulin

BCodeine

CGluten

DLecithin

Answer:

A. Inulin

Read Explanation:

  • Polysaccharides are long chains of sugars.

  • Inulin is a polymer of fructose.

  • Starch, glycogen and cellulose are all polymers of glucose.

  • Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up of a mixture of two polysaccharides, amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose).

  • Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in humans and other vertebrates.

  • Like starch, glycogen is a polymer of glucose monomers, and it is even more highly branched than amylopectin.

  • Cellulose is made up of unbranched chains of glucose monomers.
