The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following sets is a biopolymer of glucose, we need to analyze the options provided and identify which ones are composed solely of glucose monomers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Biopolymers**: - Biopolymers are large molecules made up of repeating units (monomers). In this case, we are looking for biopolymers that are specifically made from glucose. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The options given are: - A) Glycogen, Sucrose, Maltose - B) Glycogen, Cellulose, Starch - C) Sucrose, Inulin, Pectin - D) Glycogen, Sucrose, Lactose 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A (Glycogen, Sucrose, Maltose)**: - Glycogen: A polysaccharide made of glucose, correct. - Sucrose: A disaccharide made of glucose and fructose, incorrect. - Maltose: A disaccharide made of two glucose units, but still not a polymer, incorrect. - Conclusion: This option is incorrect. - **Option B (Glycogen, Cellulose, Starch)**: - Glycogen: A polysaccharide made of glucose, correct. - Cellulose: A polysaccharide made of glucose, correct. - Starch: A polysaccharide made of glucose, correct. - Conclusion: This option is correct. - **Option C (Sucrose, Inulin, Pectin)**: - Sucrose: A disaccharide made of glucose and fructose, incorrect. - Inulin: A polysaccharide made of fructose, incorrect. - Pectin: A heteropolysaccharide, not solely glucose, incorrect. - Conclusion: This option is incorrect. - **Option D (Glycogen, Sucrose, Lactose)**: - Glycogen: A polysaccharide made of glucose, correct. - Sucrose: A disaccharide made of glucose and fructose, incorrect. - Lactose: A disaccharide made of glucose and galactose, incorrect. - Conclusion: This option is incorrect. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - The only set that consists entirely of biopolymers made from glucose is **Option B: Glycogen, Cellulose, Starch**. ### Final Answer: **The correct answer is Option B: Glycogen, Cellulose, Starch.**
