Answer 2

Hemicellulose

Explanation:

1. A polymer which is made from two or more different types of monomers is called heteropolymer.
2. Hemicellulose also known as polyose is a heteropolymer because it is made up of different sugars.
3. Hemicelluloses are composed of diverse sugars, and can include:
